MB Star failed to work on Mercedes W205 Solution

User puzzles:
I have installed Xentry 9.2014 in 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 Connect 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.xentry sd connect 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.

DAS Missing Development data in SAM Smart 451 solution

Wanna activate DRL in SAM on a Smart 451 for the wife; however, it turns out my good old SD Connect C4 05.2012 Xentry/DAS machine is missing the “Development data button” in SAM
Development data button
I have “Diagnosis to plant specifications button” in KI on 451
Diagnosis to plant specifications button
It’s the same issue in SIM as on the car
I can access all development data in SAM on Smart 450, 452, 454.
But no SAM dev access in the bloody one i just bought…..

SOLVED !!!
Started a topic in the forum… Wait but no one could help me, so i did some “development” my self..
Changed all “LIC_Erstellerdaten” entries to “LIC_Entwicklungsdaten” in the 4 menu files attached
If you want development data in SAM on Smart 451’s then change your current 4 files with the edited ones in my attachment.
Files are located in this folder F:\Programme\DAS\trees\smart\AC451\SAM_451\menues
You will now have “Diagnosis to plant specifications” in your main SAM menu.
Don’t forget to back up the old ones in case i have messed something up

How to change DAS XENREY start menu picture

It’s a customer interesting setup on changing a picture of MB Star diagnosis DAS XENTRY software interface. Here is what he shared for all:

I was playing around with DAS the other day, changing things when i came across a picture of Xentry
So i decided to change it and it worked…
I think you guys can change it so that it displays your shop logo every time you start DAS or picture that you like.
It takes couple of tries but once perfected it can be used on other systems as well
When you change it, just make sure it’s confined to standards such as

Code:
File must be in location C:\Program Files\Mercedes-Benz\DAS\bin
File name must be “XentryDAS 991×620.bmp”
File must be in “bmp” format or Bitmap image (.bmp)
Width must be 991
Height must be 620

The original Xentry DAS interface picture:
das-xentry-original-picture
2016.09V MB Star xentry das start picture after change:
xentry-das-start-picture-1
xentry-das-start-picture-2
