Why 09.2014 Xentry XDOS is best for Part D (C3)

December 27, 2018 by wp-admin

The reason why Xentry Diagnostic Openshell version 09.2014 is the best software for C3 Star is that:

anything after Xentry 09.2014 you have to do too many fixes to get it fully working..

For those with C3 mux, YOU HAVE TO KNOW:

11.2012 Xentry: best for OFFLINE PROGRAMMING

09.2014 Xentry: the BEST – the most famous and favorite

12.2015 Xentry: advise to use xentry xp/xdos up to 12/2015

05.2016 Xentry: the LAST version working with PartD aka C3

07.2018 Xentry: the NEWEST version but better work with MB SD Connect C4 or Xentry Connect C5

If there is any chance it will work with C3, the first thing is to play with toolkit.ini

It will be in c:\program files\Mercedes-Benz\SDconnect Toolkit\bin\toolkit.ini or C:\Program Files (x86)\Mercedes-Benz\SDconnect Toolkit\bin\toolkit.ini

There will be a line that says UseComPorts=

Here add the port number you wish to use.

Note that since 2016-01 part D is replace with part Z (bosch vci). so if you want to use C3, you have to use old driver.

In summary, version 09.2014 is the best for your C3!!

There is no Part D needed. or Part …etc.

All i did is, change Device ID 0 to 01 in INI file
Because my SD C4 is 01 .

MB Star C3 092015 Xentry cannot work on W204

August 26, 2017 by wp-admin

MB Star C3 Star diagnostic system failed to work on Mercedes W204? Here is the customer solution. You are at your risk!

Problem:

I have DELL D630 with Xentry 09/2015 and Mercedes Benz Star diagnosis C3 multiplexer. I have connected many cars (W202, W203, W210, W211, W245, etc) and there is no problem with connection – everything is working like a charm. Some days ago, I have bought W204 C280 from 2007. After I choose model, engine and transmission, and I go to diagnostic I see this:

“The diagnosis application is being started…”

and few seconds later this:

“Initialization of the multiplexer has failed”

My Mux is not compatible with W204? I searched few hours without success.

Customer solution:
W204 and X204 is the last Mercedes models which working without some special modifications.
You can try:

First try in toolkit.ini delete line skipcomports=all and set line usecomport=2 then you will see in SDconnect toolkit PartD on display after mux connection.

First save your original file for sure.

Try look into C:\Userdata\Config\Xentry\driver – slave.ini and set there com port which you have used for PartD.

Report:

There was no change because I didn’t restarted system. After restart work perfect.

Your solution work perfectly! Probem solved. Everything is working like a charm.

Youobd2.com solution:

If you need to deal with newer Mercedes models, better go for MB SD Connect C4 or MB SD C5 diagnostic system.

Why MB Star C3 Xentry cannot work on W205 recent Mercedes

August 24, 2017 by wp-admin

User puzzles:

I have installed Xentry 9.2014 in Benz MB STAR C3 multiplexer. It works well so far. Now, I need to make diagnosis on mercedes w205 year 12/2014 but It can not communicate with the car. C3 don’t work in all recent cars in xentry but in DAS is ok.

Experienced users’ suggestion:

C3 has many limitation regarding latest vehicles in Xentry.
It can’t diagnose it e.g w205, w212, w222, w906, smart 453 etc.

its glory is already passed unless you deal only with vehicles in DAS.
you have to change to MB SD Compact C4
C4’s support also officially has been stop since 12-2015.

It is no different even you change folder.
it is different protocol with recent vehicles.

For your w205 (nice car) you can use one of this :
1.sd connect c4
2.Mercedes Benz C5

Both good at all new Mercedes Benz models,W222, W221, W212, W203, 211,W 204,W207, W212, GL166, B 246, CLS 218, SLK172 and Smart405, 451, 452, 454

Besides the MB Star diagnosis software c3 and c4 own, sdconnect c4/c5 added three more software: SD Media, Xentry and Smart TAN Code.
SD Media: Video and PDF lessons;
Xentry: New software released by Benz Company after 04/2009 by diagnosis new cars. Xentry software for diagnosing W 204,W207 and W212 which C3 and C4 does not support;
Smart TAN Code: Opened special function in DAS program with Smart cars 405/ 451/452/ 454.Besides, it also opened more special functions, such as engineer mode, remove limitations,etc, which Star C3 and Star C4 do not have.

I have successfully communicated wit my w205 AMG using a MB SD C4 connect all controllers accessed

Any TESTED& WORKING& SAFE Mercedes Xentry software?

Yes! Here you go:

Mercedes DAS Xentry 05.2017 HDD for WIN7 500GB

Or Mercedes DAS Xentry 05.2017 SSD for WIN7 256GB

Some reviews on 07.2017 DAS Xentry, hope it helps!

This version is mostly the same like previous, some more protection and redesign.

The same bugs with this version, possible it’s normal according to Daimler opinion:
–StartKeyCenter doesn`t not show key validation dates. Any key. But Xentry understands validation dates perfectly.
–AddOnCenter doesn`t close to a tray, if it was once opened, it stays at the taskbar always. Then a problem with a computer Shut down.

Changelogs were renewed.
“The XENTRY Diagnosis Software from Youobd2 has undergone a redesign. A Help Card with details can be found in the Support Tool.”

DAS 7.7.2.1 version like in 2016.07.
Limitations for Old keys:
StartKeyCenter limitation for DAS.
DAS License.0 limitation.
2221-XX limitation.
3.91 limitation.
MUX FW update is not needed from the version 2015.09 to 2017.07

1.What is possible to make, beginning from the worst.
2.Stupid files replacing is still possible to fix 2221 and 3.91 errors with loosing a hell of Java instructions for Old keys. Now it looks like foolish game with a simple illusion in the end.
3.Another way was tried just for fun. It`s possible to safe all Java instructions for Old keys with decoding and native Java code rewriting/fixing. Native DAS is possible to start with the same license parameters like it was with Old DAS keys and Old DAS license key is absolutely not needed in the system at all. Protection could be fully disabled by now.
4.“Original” keys.

There is a new not activated protection in a code with this version. Better to say 2 variants, but mostly the similar.

Vediamo M Mode Variant Coding W212 7G

July 27, 2017 by wp-admin

Some important tips of Benz Diagnostic Tool W212 7G M Mode Variant Coding using Vediamo.

Purpose:

W212 7G M Mode Variant Coding

You need:

Vediamo running with Sd connect C4

SCN coding database

Variant code:

Y2KY

BetaMar

I want to have M-mode in W212 E500 4matic 2010 model 212.090 SA801 – YOM 10/1, at the moment my variant code is Y2KX, does anyone help me to know the right code for M-mode ?

StarRacer

That’s interesting. I’ve got nearly the same car (W212 from 2009) and I’m also looking for the manual mode. My variant code is Y2KY.

Someone recommended to try three codings before and after the current one but I’m a bit hesitant with this.
The coding contains several properties of the car including 4Matic or RWD. In contrast to the RWD ones, the 4Matic have a torque limitation to protect the gearbox etc. when starting with full throttle. Therefore, a genuine 4Matic variant code would be preferable.

I think in the 7G coding collection there was no W212 E500 with M-mode. The next “match” could be an S500 4Matic (221.086). From the thread mentioned its variant code is YE25. Not sure if this one has M-mode, though.

BetaMar

I want to confirm that in 212.090 with MY2010 SA801 M-mode work very well

with Y2KZ ?? Imidietly after coding there was error showed in KI display “presafe function is unavaiable” but after ignition off/on everything works!

For 212.090 MY2009 SA800 correct coding is Y2AR

StarRacer

SUCCESS! Now with working M-mode! Y2KZ also works for me. Same error as above after first start which went away with the 2nd start.

Test drive was successful. One drawback, however: The gear switching times in M are not better than in C or S. Some years ago, I read from an S211 (E500 M273 with 7g) which was given M-mode and the owner claimed significantly faster gear switching. He did it the official way: Changing VeDoc and online SCN coding. Maybe there’s more to it than just the VGS variant coding.
