Solved! OEM Benz C6 VCI DTS Monaco No License Available

Problem:
I got the WiFi OEM Benz C6 xentry VCI, but the DTS Monaco software was not working. Gave error "No Licensed hardware available.
A Monaco license was not found."
Does it require activation or something?
Does DTS Monaco work in WiFi status? How to configure WiFi for the C6 VCI?
oem-benz-c6-dts-monaco-no-license-1
oem-benz-c6-dts-monaco-no-license-2
Solution:
Does not require activation.
Connect Benz C6 VCI with laptop via USB cable rather than LAN cable.
Benz C6 VCI WiFi connection does not require special setting.
Connect C6 VCI unit with vehicle (don't connect USB cable), find c6 WiFi name, pair with password: 12345678 and Connect.


Feedback: 
 Wow, it seems it is working through USB cable.

How to Enable Benz W213 Multibeam LED with DTC Monaco?

Car model: Mercedes Benz W213

Purpose: Unlocking the full functions of the multi-beam LED headlights

Why need it?
Once you’ve used it, you’ll NEED it. It’s incredible to have the high beams on in traffic and be able to see 3 to 4 cars ahead.
Best example is coming down my street behind a car, then having that car turn into a driveway with a curtain of light opening 1 foot behind it.

It is really impressive, the difference. I notice that signs on the side of the road are much more illuminated. I was on a tight left-hand sweeper on a parkway – there was a car about 200 feet in front of me and you could see the entire curve (up to the car in front).

Method 1: This is just dts monaco / vediamo / mb star xentry coding
HLI_FL253.smr-d (Headlamp Interface Front Left)
HLI_FR253.smr-d (Headlamp Interface Front Right)
coding sections: IHC + SAMF + IC + MPC
dts-monaco-led-coding

Method 2: buy Mercedes MULTIBEAM LED Activator, OBD-2 plug-and play system (Price $510.00 + $39.99 shipping)

The US and Euro headlights are the same, but the module upgrades from 608 (AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM SWITCH) to 628 datacode (AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM SWITCH PLUS)
here’s the difference:
Mercedes MULTIBEAM LED Activator

Method 3:
on MHH auto they sell tunes for $99 + coding for $99 as well. $99 is a good price. somebody will teamviewer into your computer and do variant coding for this in 9 seconds.

Method 4: local MB aftermarket
I contacted my local MB aftermarket specialist who can also unlock the feature to its full functionality. It costs $300 Cdn + taxes or roughly $250 US.

Read me:
some of the light functions in the description are already programmed. For example, my Canadian car has active light function and cornering light function, the other stuff I’m not sure on but definitely not the assist plus.

Question followed: I don’t know what differences are in the US vs. Canadian cars. Obviously the US cars are affected by those antiquated regulations (but sounds like you have some of those antiquated regulations in Canada too – otherwise we wouldn’t be having this discussion). My 2019 has high beams that auto dim and perhaps has some cornering lighting?
I’m just surprised that these functions can be activated in software via a flag/switch. I was under the impression that additional software was required. So certainly very interested to see whether this works.
Answer: It works…. I just installed my module
I have the ILS package on my USDM S213 which means
1. cornering illumination
2. automatic highbeams
Added by the module
1. more cornering illumination including vertical range in the direction of the turn (USDM is same cutoff as low beams)
2. “Boxing out” of oncoming cars/cars in front + extended beam range
3. Rain light (tested by putting water on windshield) adds illumination to the sides much like fog lights

Enjoy!

How to Setup XUS on Xentry 03.2020 to Solve online errors?

In MB Star diagnostic Xentry 03.2020 (both Openshell and PT) it is necessary to modify the previous one slightly:

1. Make sure .NET 4.8 is installed
2. We configure in "ConfigAssist" the XUS services without the use of RDS.
3. Go to Services on Windows Control Panel, stop and disable 2 Daimler services with "....DeviceInfo" string and 1 service with "....Device Manager (Windows)" string.
4. Download TablePlus software, run and add new connection for PostgreSQL, name: xus, host: 127.0.0.1, port: leave blank, user xfernow, password: xfernow, db: xfernow
5. Choose deviceinfov2 table on left
6. Find startkeyvalid column on right, place 'true'. Replace value in devicetype column from XDOS to KIT2, replace appid to 254
7. Save changes by pressing commit button in the top-left corner
8. Restart the postgree service, it will ask us for confirmation to restart all the services that depend on which are the XUS services.


Additionally, if we do not want the KIT2 release to be downloaded, modify the following line in the xuslight_conf.json file (located in /programfiles(x86)/Mercedes-Benz Software/XentryUpdateServiceLight/config)

Original: "RelaeaseUpstreamUrl": "https://api-em1.emea.corpinter.net/prod/retus/catalogue/v1/releases/api/releases2/",
Modified: "RelaeaseUpstreamUrl": "",

Doing as before and returning to XDOS or PT does not work, it is only an illusion since it has the previously downloaded catalog, but it will not update said catalog at any time.

This configuration has been successfully tested in online programming without any RDS error.

We have been able to verify that the servers have a filter by location, in some cases, the only way to achieve the download of the catalog has been through the use of a VPN to Europe, once the catalog has been downloaded it has not been necessary to continue using it.

Thanks to the colleagues who have helped me with their tests and their equipment.
