Why to buy MB SD C4 Star diagnosis and Dell D630

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.

Ps. New 2019.7 MB SD Connect Compact 4:

1. New MB SD Connect C4 come with D-LINK WIFI Card
2. New MB SD Connect C4 has more competitive price
3. New MB SD Connect C4 come with latest software: V2015.7
4. New MB SD Connect C4 support both cars and trucks, support wifi connection
5. New MB SD Connect C4 come with one year warranty.

Problem:
I have sd connect c4 multiplexer.
It works great with Xentry with cable connection.
O/S: Windows 7 64 Bits.

But Vediamo V05.00.05 has issue connecting to MB SD C4.
After opened up Vediamo, I press on update. Then, i got error message

Possible reason :
Vediamo is not compatible with Windows 7 64 bit operating system.
Solution 1:
Solution 1 is provided by customer.

“I just fixed it.

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 .

I modified Vediamo_c.ini in ProgramData/Vediamo/Config

You will see 3rd Line from top, DefaultDeviceNumber=xx

Change xx to your device number.

Hope this helps!!

How to Choose good SD C4 Star Diagnosis SDConnect MB Star C4

December 1, 2017 by wp-admin

MHHAuto Mb Star Connect C4 Mercedes Benz Star Diagnosis SD Connect C4 Experience Sharing

There are so many kinds Auto key Programmer MB Star C4 SD Connect Multiplexer in the market, how to choose a good Star Diagnosis SD Connect Multiplexer? Below eobdtool.com share a Star Diagnostic SD Connect MB Star C4 Mux identify guide as following. This is sharing from MHHAuto forum, great Mercedes Star diagnostic SDconnect SD C4 tools experience sharing.

MHHAuto Thread: SD Connect C4 — avoiding garbage

I’m in the market for an SD connect C4 on www.cnautotool.com mercedes benz Star Diagnostic Tool and have been trying to spend my time doing some homework to avoid getting a garbage unit. I certainly can understand what a lot of people have been saying about the widely varying quality that’s out there. I am a EE and PCB designer, so I’m trying to make use of that knowledge to select the best unit that I can.

To that end, I’m going to share what info I’ve collected so far, and when I finally end up buying whatever unit I do, I’m going to do a full teardown on it and post the results here.

As another matter, I’ll openly post details on who I buy the unit from and impressions after receiving it.

Near as I can tell right now, there appear to be about 4 “factories” that make different units.

One thing I’ve been asking all of the sellers for (and I would encourage others to do the same) is photos of the actual MB Star C4 SD Connect unit (including PCBs) with a unique identifier in the photo to prove that the unit they say they are going to send me is the actual one they send me. Of course, some sellers immediately bail at this, but then you know who to avoid ahead of time.

In general, a lot of the components used in a Star diagnostic tool SD C4 Multiplexer are getting quite long in the tooth. Many of the parts are approaching 20 years of age. Thus, you stand a fair risk of getting pulls (used parts) and/or remarked parts on these.

In following posts, I’ll provide photos of what I can discern as differences between the MB Star Diagnostic SD Connect C4 units along with some commentary about whatever info I can provide at this point.

to, I’ve outlined some things I feel are important to note. They have a set of 4 analog switches on the PCB. In this photo, they are ADG426 from Analog Devices. I’ve seen some clones that use DG526CY from Harris/Intersil. The DG526CY, besides being completely obsolete, has an typical RDSON of 270 ohms vs 80 for the Analog Devices part. It also has a -55dB isolation vs -75dB for the AD part. In short, the AD part is just a much better mux. So with that said, I would insist on any unit I’m interested in using those.

A second thing you’ll notice is the use of can crystals where 4 pin variants were intended. This is just sloppy and cheap. There may also be issue with loading (and ultimately clock stability) depending on whether they matched the loading caps to the substituted crystal or not.

I haven’t had a set of photos high res enough to look at the rest of the actives in detail yet, as most sellers don’t seem to post them.

There’s also an issue pointed out on the bottom of the board where one of the (what appears to be) MOSFETs in (what appears to be a) D2 PAK looks like it was hand soldered. Again, no good.

This next photo is of the relay Star Diagnosis SD Connect PCB— I think one of the MHH members posted this from an original SDC4.
