Xentry Passthru J2534 Adapters and Test Report

 If you are looking for an J2534 interface that supports Xentry passthru and cost less then a MB SD C4/C5/C6 clone, these are popular j2534 passthru adapters.

 

  • vas-5054a
  • Openport 2.0
  • Mini VCI j2534
  • some other VCIs

 

To have J2534 interface work with Xentry:

  • Ensure the tool supports SAE-J2534/2 drivers.
  • Also ensure to buy / download Xentry PassThru version.

 

5054a:

Buy VAS--5054A for 60$ and use Xentry Passthru.

The VAS5054 is a good tool. They've used it with Xentry Pass Thru, Forscan, Techstream and Nissan Consult.

Same stuff as C4 connect but way cheaper.

Openport 2.0 

Buy a tactrix Openport 2.0 original or clone

OpenPort 2.0 clone:

The OpenPort 2.0 is confirmed working with xentry passthru, one thing you should consider is that
1. you wont be able to access K-Line ECU's that are widely used in old models (W221, 220, 203, 211, 210)
2. i wouldnt trust that thing to be able to do ECU SW updates which can take hours cause you're risking of getting failed uploads and then potentially bricking your ecu
3. if you want to work with vediamo you can't use vediamo 5 (4 can't use smrd files) because vediamo 5 doesn't support Passthru so your "stuck" with DTS Monaco

so keep that in mind. but especially that these devices can be bought for 20-30$ makes them worth it imo at least to get into the whole system.

You'd better replace R1 by 47k for better operation and to avoid overheating.

Review

  1. I've installed Xentry Passthru 12.2020 and Tactrix Openport 2.0 CLONE. Successfully diagnosed W211. All modules are available including data and DTC reset functions.
    SBC and old ECU ME2.8 will not read. Other modules without a problem. The newer 211 (facelift) is also no problem. I can confirm this. Working 95 procent modules.
  2. DAS works fine, read modules, fault codes, erase, adaptation, reset control units on W639 Vito.
  3. XENTRY work fine and read 38-39 modules and fast comunication on W212. Output test, reset options, basic programming work fine.
  4. Xentry works fine, read 37 modules, fast data transfer on C205. Same features as W212.

 

Mini VCI J2534

You can even buy Toyota Mini VCI cable for 35$ and also use xentry passthru. Xentry is the same software that is used by dealer.  MINI VCI j2534 really works but you have to know that you can only do a scan. you can forget about programming but also the price between them is a big difference.

You need it to be connected to the virtual system and to have the drivers in it, Sometimes it is an option for the USB device to disconnect from the physical system and connect to the virtual one.

You can use mini vci, but you wont be able to access some modules and I dont think you will be able to access any car without CAN connection (dont quote me on that). I cannot access w203s, but 211, 204 works fine.
I can confirm that. I tested one and I couldn't access to all modules on W212.

From maybe 37 modules it accessed just 17 modules.

vas-5054a and Openport would be better choices. Openport sees more modules.

Tested two cables with a Mercedes:

W207:
Toyota Mini VCI Cable: 26 Modules
OpenPort 2.0 China Clone: 50 Modules

Both cables worked with:
Xentry Passthru 06.2021
Vediamo 4.02.02
Windows 10 x64

Not able to get passthru for Vediamo 5.01.01 at this time as it was not supported.
