July 31, 2019 by wp-admin

Many customers would like MB SD C4 diagnostic multiplexer only but usually have all kinds of problem with it. According to the feedback these days, we highly recommend buying the diagnostic tool bundle MB SD C4 and Dell D630 for the following points:

Customer A: I would advise buy MB SD CONNECT C4 with D630 laptop, because it is connected via LAN Cable but not COM Port as mb star c3. Most laptops have not this COM port; also, used Laptop may have problem on COM port so that you would not communication well.
I got this Mercedes multiplexer MB SD Connect Compact 4 from www.mbstartool.com (a specialized web for Mercedes vehicles) for almost one year. It is still working well.

Customer B: I do not need install any software because this package offer includes Dell 630 in which the newest software Xentry 2019.7 for mb sd c4 was pre-installed before delivery. When I get the SD C4, I directly use it. No need to activation. Very convenient!

Technicians’ suggestion:
1. It is more suitable for most people without too much maintenance experience, because this standard kit including an internal hard drive with all software pre-installed, will minimize setup difficulties and come into use directly.
2. It will much faster to diagnose with internal hard drive in Dell laptop than with external drive.
3. It is much easier to carry the sd c4 multiplexer and laptop D630 for diagnosis.
Nothing to unplug or fall off.

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!!

Upload images of C3 and XDOS 09.2014 working perfect…
