Why should you choose MB SD C5 with Engineer Software?

MB SD C5 with engineer software performed good and now is released.
Unlike the old clone C5 which uses C4 Internet Software, this MB C5 is 1:1 copy star C5. The newest hybrid W222 could still be diagnosed by this Benz C5.
Following text shows the MB Star C5 features and some use tips.

MB star C5 features:

1.It improves a lot in hardware and software.
2. With engineer software
3.Comes with one internal disc and one portable hard disk.
4.Comes with no computer.
5.No computer brand limit as long as the computer has 4GB storage at least and running Windows 7 – 32-bit or Windows 8 – 32-bit.
6.Update: for common update, dealer send update files to user for update; for special update, the user is supposed to ship back the disk to flash.
7.Real MB star C5 communication: Via Wlan (IEEE802.11 a/b/g/n2.4+5GHZ )
8.The licensing system is reworked – now licenses are stored on MB servers – Any license changes are tracked by the multiplexer when connected to the Internet network.

Why should buy Xentry connect?
After 2015, all Star Diagnosis equipment is no longer supported. That means there is no update diagnostic data for the newest cars and their systems. The lack of the possibility of coding and programming of electronic units due to the backlog of the software data level in the device, from data in the electronic control units of the car.
At the end of 2014, among dealerships, almost all of them who previously used Star Diagnosis Compact4 with SDConnect DoIP multiplexers were almost gone. Instead, dealerships choosed Xentry Kit kits which include the latest Xentry Connect multiplexers and Xentry Tab tablets from Panasonic. Tablets are custom-made, also they have a “civilian” version – the Panasonic Toughbook CF-D1, which has a more powerful configuration but shorter battery life than the original Xentry Tab.
Honestly, it seems exaggerated for non-dealer use Xentry Tab. While for dealers, that is necessary.

And what about workshop service?
Undoubtedly, the tablet from Panasonic is well while the price is too high. The cost of the Japanese tablet is realistic to buy pieces of eight new laptops or tablets from other manufacturers.
So , we suggest to buy Xentry connect from us , then buy a laptop yourself . the software from which Xentry Connect is managed can be installed without any problems on any computer that has a 32-bit version of Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 10. It’s clear with Xentry Connect itself – there’s no alternative .
After all, in this choice there are many reasons that encourage one to make a decision. The main thing is one: since 2015, the diagnostic multiplexer Xentry Connect C5 becomes the only one used at dealerships.
Thus, by purchasing this equipment, you do not lag behind the progress. You use in your work the best that is available today. Each your client, seeing with his own eyes that you in your work use the same device that he saw at the dealer’s service station, will understand that he made the right decision entrusting his car to your specialists.

MERCEDES BENZ STAR CLONES FAKE SD CONNECT C5 VS REAL SD CONNECT C5 REVIEW

I have been meaning to do this comparison for some time now but work has been relentless, so lets start from the top.

The real SD Connect C5 casing is made from real aluminium not a plastic composite made to look like metal, in the photo you can see the shine the fake one has its very easy to spot the difference.

lots of blanked off vents, no fan or hdd/SSD with Xentry software, no usb ports,

Click on images to enlarge

MERCEDES BENZ STAR CLONES FAKE SD CONNECT C5 VS REAL SD CONNECT C5 REVIEW-1

no internal batteries and the charging dock is missing on the fake one replaced with Eprom holes to use a a battery pack to do firmware updates.

MERCEDES BENZ STAR CLONES FAKE SD CONNECT C5 VS REAL SD CONNECT C5 REVIEW-2

The fake SD connect C5 has a SD Connect C4 board inside it and its ill fitting and incomplete so this detracts from the function and makes it a bad multiplexer.

The real SD connect C5 has built in batteries so can be booted without connecting to a car

MERCEDES BENZ STAR CLONES FAKE SD CONNECT C5 VS REAL SD CONNECT C5 REVIEW-3

as well as the 2 USB ports and charging port that the Panasonic charger will fit into and charge it is a superior product in every sense of the word

the function is also improved since the SD connect will be able to do diagnosis using the latest DOIP protocol
this protocol is currently used in the W222 and the W205 command system diagnoses but we are guessing the use of it will be wider and more prevalent as more cars are connected to the internet of things.

The software on the real SD connect Tablet is Xentry connect and Xentry configurator no SD media no Vediamo or Finder or Parts list

We at Pro Auto Diagnostics pride ourselves on informing our clients of all the facts, it is our opinion that unless you are dealing with the very latest MB cars and have an advanced fully qualified tech then maybe the real star MB Connect C5 Plus system is not what you need.

REDESIGNED SD CONNECT C4 DOIP CARD WORKS SAME AS XENTRY CONNECTC5

 

Our goal: to upgrade the PCB of the MB star diagnosis SD connect C4 multiplexer for DoIP and Xentry Connect C5 functionality .

What is DoIP?
What are the benefits of DoIP?
Why is DoIP applied to vehicles?
What is SDconnect DoIP multiplexer?
What is DoIP cable?
How do I upgrade the SDConnect C4 clone board for DoIP diagnostics?

What is DoIP?
Exchange of diagnostic information using the Internet protocol.

In short and simple: “DoIP are diagnostic message packages in the form of Ethernet frames (frames) for the exchange of data between the diagnostic scanner and the vehicle.”

DoIP is a standardized diagnostic transport protocol according to ISO 13400 (see next note)
DoIP is used in combination with the standardized diagnostic protocol UDS (ISO 14229-5: UDSonIP)
UDSonIP services are identical to UDSonCAN services
DoIP with Ethernet 100 Base-TX instead of CAN significantly increases bandwidth
DoIP vehicles are accessed using separate pins of the existing diagnostic connector
DoIP provides easy integration into different network structures, even in WLAN

Note: ISO 13400

ISO 13400-1: 2011 describes general use cases and communication scenarios that are supported by the vehicle Internet Protocol communication standard. In each application, specific functions of the vehicle’s communication interface are controlled, for example compatibility in the existing computer network.

Diagnostic information exchange over Internet Protocol (DoIP) is performed using a standardized service interface as specified in ISO14229-2.

Descriptions in ISO 13400-1: 2011 relate to various solutions at the application level, for example:

advanced vehicle diagnostics (diagnostics that are not legally required, diagnostics of non-emission systems);
WWH-OBD (Worldwide Harmonized OBD Diagnostics) as specified in ISO 27145-2 and ISO 27145-3.

What are the benefits of DoIP?
Transfer of huge amounts of information
Save time programming ECU flash memory
Economical technology since no need for a VCI diagnostic connector
Easy integration into IT infrastructure
Flexibility through standardized communication Integration with other vehicle diagnostic standards Future-proof technology with wide application possibilities
REDESIGNED SD CONNECT C4 DOIP CARD WORKS SAME AS XENTRY CONNECTC5-1

Why is DoIP used in cars?
Expanding the possibilities of interaction of the car with the infrastructure (environment)
Driving assistance and infotainment systems work with huge amounts of data.
Time spent on programming flash memory on production lines and in after-sales service is increasing.

DoIP is high performance and flexible access to vehicle data

What is SDconnect DoIP multiplexer?
The Model 222 S-Class SDconnect DoIP Scanners are marked “SDconnect DoIP” on the multiplexer model nameplate (system number 170,000 or higher). The SDconnect DoIP multiplexer includes an Ethernet switch that switches TCP / IP messages during DoIP diagnostics on the vehicle side.

DoIP Diagnostic Tool for Benz:

SD connect C4 original (to be upgraded)
DoIP Xentry Connect C5 , original device

What is DoIP cable?
Cable used when upgrading SD connect C4 multiplexer to work with DoIP.
REDESIGNED SD CONNECT C4 DOIP CARD WORKS SAME AS XENTRY CONNECTC5-2

How do I upgrade SDconnect C4 for DoIP diagnostics?
The main difference between DoIP and non-DoIP multiplexers is the PCB with or without an Ethernet switch.

Upgrading SDConnect C4 for DoIP

You will need:
SDConnect to DoIP Upgrade Kit: Additional DoIP expansion card, power card, and a new DoIP cable.

What was done:

Hull
Keyboard replaced
Side metal covers replaced
Top plastic cover replaced
Sensor battery and battery retainer replaced
Complete set of screws replaced

Electronics
LCD panel replaced
SD card replaced
Connector panel replaced
LAN connector replaced
DoIP expansion board installed

SD slot installed
Some additional modifications, soldering contacts, cleaning, etc. are done

Relay board
Can-chokes installed
All capacitors replaced
Main power regulators and inductors replaced
Some additional modifications, soldering contacts, cleaning, etc. are done

All! Your SD connect C4 DoIP multiplexer is ready.
REDESIGNED SD CONNECT C4 DOIP CARD WORKS SAME AS XENTRY CONNECTC5-3 REDESIGNED SD CONNECT C4 DOIP CARD WORKS SAME AS XENTRY CONNECTC5-4
Note that you will need an experienced technician to upgrade your PCB; otherwise, you may damage the multiplexer –  remember that you are working at your own risk !

Alternatively, you can take a different, simpler route to perform W222 DoIP diagnostics: upgrade to the Xentry Connect C5 scanner.

What is Vediamo?

It’s Benz Development and Engineering Software, has no limitation in diagnosis / modification / programming function are open which can not be through the VEDOC (the original application code changes with flow) can be free to increase or decrease the SA code, modify the objective, for example: the increase of vehicles equipped with SA500 electric folding mirrors. Commonly known as the Xentry and DAS development mode: open data project version in 2010 after the release, increase the number of functional limitations. So we will meet the vehicle version is too new to be into the control unit in use, or are unable to do any special modifications to the control unit.

How Xentry Connect C5 + Vediamo works for Benz?

Take an example here for you all:

AMG Menu unlock on normal 180,200,250,250 CLA

you will get this with the AMG Menu… on the normal one it’s down in the right corner E1-7, S1-7,M1-7

if you have the NTG 5 you will have the AMG Menu there as well, with PSI, oil temp. and the car in the Settings will no longer be a Urban style CLA it’s the 45 then.
