2019.09 Xentry tested working no issue:

Xentry Diagnostic Passthru:
  • If your diagnostic device is a passthru device e.g VAS5054A, KTS 540/560 passthru, Chipsoft, GM MDI2, genuine AVDI, MONGOOSE PRO 2 CAN/ISO CABLE, TRACTIX OPENPORT 2.0, Toyota mvci, download this software.
Testimony from: (source: cartechnlogy.co.uk)
  • MBENZTECH: GM MDI2, genuine AVDI, MONGOOSE PRO 2 CAN/ISO CABLE and TRACTIX OPENPORT 2.0
I have used the GM MDI2, genuine AVDI, MONGOOSE PRO 2 CAN/ISO CABLE and TRACTIX OPENPORT 2.0. As long as the device is capable of J2534 protocol, it should work. Of course Xentry PassThru only works on CAN modules. So it’s safe to say that it should work with 2006 and up vehicles. I was hoping AVDI would work with Xentry PassThru with all modules, but that is not the case.
  • paja: kts bosch
I welcome all-knowledge with passthru xentry-kts bosch
1. install bosch center, driver kts-otherwise it does not work
2.UAC, defender off, deamon tool instal

  • Roturbo: VAS5054 (Read also the following post of Roturbo)
It looks like that, because if i chose a 204 and try to read the FIN/VIN of the 205
is reads it correct, but the software notice is the wrong series/model and stops.
This prove that there is no problem with Actia or VAS5054 interface, it is only
software problem/bug because the install is on 32bit.
Also Actia software is able to diagnose many units, but not all.
  • grabbelmanko: VAS5054 (Read also the following post of grabbelmanko)
Its red color in sw when i try to test.
I uninstall roturbo drivers.
Device manager show error code 51.
I follow instructions, but will try again later.
Thanks

Hallo Ivan,
the red colour gives you a hint to search in the driver problem zone:
As Medianjoe wrote :  – RED dot : PC <-> VAS5054A does not communicate. Something wrong on your driver.
  • Ficode: TRACTIX OPENPORT 2.0
This software works with openport 2.0.
Many thanks!
The list will be supplemented.
Work with:
W222, W205, W166, W211, Sprinter III W906 (2014), Sprinter 909 (2018).
DAS not work with openport 2.0:
W168, W414, W463 only engine diag(2004).
  • crazy40: VXDIAG passthru, Xhorse toyota vci, FORD VCM II rotunda, ACTIA, Mongoose 
Almost all J2534 compatible devices. Fron expensive VXDIAG passthru to a 15 bucks X-horse toyota vci. But FORD VCM II rotunda, ACTIA and Mongoose works best.
Invest in a Ford VCM, it will work for JLR, toyota, Honda, FORD/MAZDA, GM, few others with a ini modification and off course MB pass thru.
China re-flash VCM to work for Maserati and Ferrari.
MB VCI is so similar to VCM. China coming soon.
  • pesona: Chipsoft Mid, Pro 24v
i myself use Dell latitude win7x64 PRO, chipsoft mid (usd131) and pro (usd218) as my adventure with xentry passthru. i chose chipsoft because it can handle 24v (max 35v). i bought the famous VAS5054A (usd 60) too but don’t touch it yet because it can’t handle 24v (max 17v). i guess chipsoft lite (usd89) is worth to try too.
PKW (passenger car & van 12v)
i test it at a glance with xentry and das, all are easy, direct and good result.
xentry: w212, w204
das:  sprinter, w220, w221
Truck (Actros 2,3), Axor & Bus OHXBC, OC500 24v
Notes:
i try with unsupported DAS vehicles in xentry passthru (Lkw, Bus k-line).
I add the folders that is not installed with xentry passthru and take it from xdos with same release.
i am help by Denis (owner and developer of chipsoft). He is a savant.
He helps update the drivers several time to help me to achieve what i want.
The first driver when i get, it does not work with xentry/das and vediamo for mercedes vehicles 24v.
Pro:
– Actros: All ecu are okay but not GM. Still under research but i am already boring right now.
– Axor MB INA (all k-line ecu): Great working now
– Bus OHXBC, OC500 (all k-line ecu): at last, all are great now
Cons:
– device insulation is not good. i already burn one mid and one pro.
i don’t think it is good for a long term use for 24v unless Denis want to add that protection.
Comparing with partD (C3) and SDConnect
– the price (almost the same)                      –
– fully compatibility with all mb vehicles       —
– Reliability with 24v                                  —
– Size & weight                                         +++++
– Support other Brands                              +++
  • MilenaG: Chipsoft lite 12v
chipsoft lite works perfect with xentry pt, especially after updating drivers for device.
(xentry pt works only with can modules, it is not possible with k-line.)
  • liusberg: Toyota mvci + driver
If you use mvci – drivers in link:
https://mega.nz/#!9p91XIRb!AAAAAAAAAAAXIAY_DmycMgAAAAAAAAAAFyAGPw5snDI
1. Drivers
2. PassThru
But mvci show in w212 only 17 control units – VAS show 34 control units (test – piktas (pic.))
xentry-mvci-driver
  • wakawaka + aholmes28191: VCX nano (look following discussions)
try connect with the VCX cable, also disable or remove antivirus – it interferes with VCX nano
  • krazzdav: Toyota mvci
COM port does not matter it appears; i reinstalled MVCI and left it at default COM 3 and connection to 2017 GLA250 x156 was successful.
Battery appears right after selecting vehicle then XENTRY diagnosis and should not take time — see screenshots below

Win7x64 + Xentry PassThru 2018 + scanmatik 2 ( not scanmatik 2 PRO ) = Works 100% bluetooth and USB !
( first install the scanmatik driver )
Tested : x166 , w212 , w221
Old models DAS connects with motor only !
I’ve tried a few passthrough modules today – feedback below:
VXDiag VCX Nano for TIS (Toyota Techstream).
This was on the latest firmware (1.5.5 from memory) and in passthrough mode it initially looked good showing voltage but then when trying to connect to the car after ticking the ignition box in Xentry an error from the VXDiag is raised saying “Error License for Function: BENZ” and then Xentry throws an error. The device is licensed for Passthru and Toyota so it seems they prevent this from working in the driver. I’ve mailed Allscanner to see if it’s a device or license limitation.
OTC VIM for Toyota (think this is actually a Bosch device).
Unfortunately even with the passthrough driver Xentry didn’t see the car voltage and just throws an error saying voltage is too low.
Volvo DiCE.
This actually works quite well and sees most modules – a few said they couldn’t talk to the car ECU so guessing there’s a protocol missing but overall it ran through the quick test and got the info I needed (ie software versions).
I’m wanting to update the firmware of the NTG5s1 and from what I’ve read you need a DOIP device to do it so I’ve got a VXDiag C6 on the way – from what I’ve read here and elsewhere it’s slower than the other devices but should do the one off I need.
I’ve got a W212.001 so DAS has it as a prototype and errored out – not sure if that’s because of the Volvo DiCE module so will see how it behaves when the C6 and disk arrive. Hoping I can sort some firmware out.
I actually took the car to a local Merc specialist yesterday and paid £120 for them to do it but when I got there 3 hours later they couldn’t do it – I’m guessing because they had an old non DOIP SDConnect so instead of messing around I’ll try and do it myself!

Xentry passthru does not support these vehicles in DAS:
– Bharat Benz
– Foton
– Fuso
– LKW
– IMO
– Unimog
– PKW using HHT
Disclaimer: All testimony above is personal experience, NOT the official test! It’s your own risk!
You are advised to use tested XENTRY XDOS with the new SD connect C4,  DOIP compatible:

OEM Xentry VCI C6 (genuine vci look) How it works?

Let’s start with some questions on the Xentry VCI C6 OEM clone (looks like the genuine XENTRY Diagnosis Kit 3.)

Is it the clone of genuine Bosch xentry VCI?
Does it require install VXDIAG drivers?
Can it be used wirelessly?
Do you use ordinary Xentry openshell or Xentry openshell pass-through?

Answer:1. They have not cloned the new Xentry VCI
2. You can use ordinary XDOS without VXdiag Driver. Only config ecom and ready.
3. With keygen. No wireless or wifi, usb and lan only.
The one looks like original, but inside is different. It works like Ecom.
Here some Pictures of Xentry VCI C6 Clone.
The inside boards:
xentry-vci-c6-pcb-1

xentry-vci-c6-pcb-2

xentry-vci-c6-pcb-3
Software contains xentry (not DAS), vediamo, dts, epc/wis.
Test on A class W177 and a Brabus, fast USB connection and able to access all possible modules.
xentry-vci-c6-pcb-4

xentry-vci-c6-pcb-6

xentry-vci-c6-pcb-6

xentry-vci-c6-pcb-7
Downside:
The Benz C6 VCI should work with only the software they produce which can be expensive when updating.

Suggestion:
In conclusion we think the SD Connect C4 represents better value for money for the novice user who should wait until they can use Xentry software with confidence before moving to more advanced Vehicle Communication Interface, The C6 VCI seen in the photo is what a good high quality clone should look like and not the VCM2 encased version which is of lower quality
We only stock the highest quality VCI call us for free consultation.
