DTS-monaco introduction:
1.DTS-monaco is the official software used by Daimler-Benz development engineers
2.DTS Monaco is universal engineering test terminal for the diagnosis and control function of the vehicle controller, The name Monaco is derived from the modular analyzer used in vehicle traffic
3.DTS Monaco covers all the tasks in the field of engineering, testing and production test preparation
4.When Mercedes-Benz maintenance test it is the greatest authority,the perfect support for C4(
SDconnect) and (Ecom) Hardware(at present, Das-xentry.Vediamo lower authority)
DTS-monaco special feature:
1.Quick Test: Entire vehicle ECU quick test, and the test can choose to edit more
2.Variant Coding: Coding with variation add VO- delete VO function
3.ID identification: One click to read the whole car and save all modules programmed numbers
4.Complete Variant Coding: One time to read all the ECU coding vehicle data, can be written to the vehicle again, completely off-line operation
5.Diagnostic Services: Advanced features can see your choice of internal and external data module, turn on the computer authorization(not driving license), Activate ECU, reset ECU, modifying the original chassis number
6.Flash programming: Fully offline programming
7.Diagnostic Trouble Code: Diagnostic module DTC fault code
8.ECU Exchange: Two of the same ECU, by reading data import data exchange
9.Symbolic trace: Record and track the file, after repeated viewing, analysis of fault logic point
What do you personally use DTS Monaco for?
DTS Monaco is a program for softening. Mercedes-Benz is dealing with some company for developing some some software’s for the control units fixed on the cars. check the web side of this company and you will understand what they are doing. My advise to you if you want to play with this program you need to be expert with the vehicles software and programming other wise you will destroy it.
For many, DTS is the best software used on cars.
Coding works very good an easy, because for all coding-points it shows a “coding description”. With Vediamo you can not sort the list and have to make “right click” on any coding-point to read the description.
So, if you search for special things or “browse” through the functions in the ECU, Monaco is more comfortable.
Btw, vediamo unlocks units same as dts. Monaco can save codings in one click and upload them in one click too especially on MVCI smr-d units, which vediamo cant handle. Quite useful, but requires quite powerful system

Where to download DTS Monaco for free?
It’s free but with unknown security.
Where to get DTS-monaco confirmed to work?
When installing DTS Monaco to communicates and works with SDconnect4 all user installed SDconnect Toolkit version 2.1.3. And no one tried to force the work SDconnect Toolkit version 2.1.4.2, which is installed together with the installation of Setup_Addon_DAG. And I did it.
Checked only on the system without DAS/Xentry.
DTS Monaco 8.03.12.
Windows 7 x64.
Follow the next steps:
1. Install Monaco
2.Install Setup_Addon_DAG
3.Go to ะก:\ProgramData\I+ME ACTIA\Toolkit\
4. Open and edit toolkit.ini
Code:
ShowInTray=2
NetworkIcon=2
DeviceIcon=1
ConnectionState=1
5. Save file and reboot Windows
6. Connect SDconnect MUX via cable
7. Start System Configurator
8. Go to Licenses and you will see your MUX as DCDIPartW with your serial number. After editing in Interfaces type of MUX will change to MVCI_IME_ACTIA_GmbH_SDconnect
9. Go toInterfaces
Code:
eCOM_SMR
Interface name – > SDconnect_SMR
Bus system interface – > D-PDU API
D-PDU API version – > I+ME ACTIA GmbHXS_D_PDU_API_FOR_DTS_8_03_12
Module type – > MVCI_IME_ACTIA_GmbH_SDconnect
Cable – > CABLE_OBDII_SDCONNECT
Physical links: CAN1, CAN4, CAN8
10 .Click Save and close System Configurator
11. Now you can connect to the car or single ECU
How to solve DTS Monaco and SDConnect Toolkit conflict issue?
SDConnect Toolkit setting and DTS Monaco Connection setting
1.Delete C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Softing \ Diagnostic Tool Set 8 \ 8.03 \ Interfaces \ DCDI_DPduApi \ eCOM_Toolkit \ all files inside.
2.Copy C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Mercedes-Benz \ SDConnect Toolkit \ inside all files,
paste it into C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Softing \ Diagnostic Tool Set 8 \ 8.03 \ Interfaces \ DCDI_DPduApi \ eCOM_Toolkit \ folder inside .
3.Copy C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Softing \ Diagnostic Tool Set 8 \ 8.03 \ Interfaces \ DCDI_DPduApi \ eCOM_Toolkit \ bin \Folder inside the Toolkit files,
paste it into C: \ ProgramData \ I + ME ACTIA \ Toolkit folder inside, replace the original file.
Any good success with DTS Monaco?
2) I successfully connected to ZGW221 w/o car
DTS Monaco always sends a notification that it is impossible to contact the EIS221 to read the mileage, voltage, etc. (because w/o car)
3)
I use both DTS Monaco & Vediamo, I can do tons of customizing settings on All MB cars; some of them are hidden by MB but very useful and cool.
For example ,
1. ALL vehicle which equip with dual multifunction camera, I could enable Traffic Sign Assist if your car does not have this function. Because MB hide it and they could sale the function for money in the future.
2. ALL vehicle which equip with parking radar sensor, I could set Alarm sound frequency related to the distance to the obstacle, instead of stock only make Alarm sound at the red zone( 30cm ). We call it synchronization.
3. ALL vehicle which equip with 360 camera, I could change the disable speed ( Distract screen engage), allow you can have more time or view around at higher speed.
4. Change temp. pressure gauge unit on cluster and Command Online ( C<->F , psi<->bar <->kpa, hp(SAE or DIN), N m <-> lb ft).
5. Disable Distract protection( allow VIDEO IN MOTION, spell input to Navi, Message while moving, and more ) Do not use them when you are driving!
6. Remove E-speed limiter, and also you can enable a menu called Winter Tire Speed Limiter on cluster, and you can choose how fast you dont want to pass, as low you can set 160km/h=100mph).
7. Adding some equipments when the car does not have them installed from factory, even transplant some from other model. ( But you need pay a lot to buy those parts compare to buy options installed by factory when they build the car. And for installation some of them are not easy as plug and play.).
8. Enable Blue Welcome home light for W beginning VIN W205 equip with Dynamic Head Light (IHL) without changing headlight assembly, 55SWF beginning…NVM, also vehicle has SA Code 608( Automatic High Beam Switch) could upgrade to Code 628 (Automatic High Beam Switch Plus) If you has dual multifunction camera.
9. Upgrade all control unit software without online daimler account, also you could downgrade.
10. Too many….
11. In general, all ppl talk about some setting or function they dont like and they want to change, I believe 99% of them can be achieved. 1% is still no solution for Apple Car Play and Android Auto for W205 before MY2018 without swapping Command Online Unit.
I would say, with those two software I could even build a car from every single pieces (IF PARTS FIT ). even the model does not exist( create a new car for MB ).
XENTRY can not do to much, compare those two software, its a baby toy.
