Choosing a CG ECU programmer will depend on several factors, including the type of vehicle you will be working on, the level of complexity of the programming you need to perform, and your budget.
CG100 III Prog, CG Pro 9S12, and CG FC200 are all different models of automotive programming tools developed by CGDI Tech. Here’s a brief comparison of their features:
CG FC200 is more professional on ECU/BCM/TCU read, write and clone via OBD/Bench/Boot.
CG100 is mainly to reset airbag, read & write ECU/chip, and mileage correction. (good for airbag and dashboard)
CG Pro 9S12 covers all functions of them, also supports key refresh, key matching, and BMW CAS1-4 VIN modification (good for Mercedes, BMW and better as programmer than cg100)
NOTE:
CG100 has BMW CAS1-CAS4 and Land rover key option to write key, but you need to read CAS/KVM data by other EEPROM programmer.
CGPro 9S12 can generate key via eeprom data as well.
CGPro will make key for BMW EWS1-EWS4 and CAS1-CAS4+ (both add key and all keys lost). All requires to remove the IMMO box (cannot do them via OBD).
