Comprehensive Functionality and Diagnostic Capabilities of XENTRY Pass Thru EU
XENTRY Pass Thru EU delivers a near-complete spectrum of diagnostic functionalities, encompassing quick tests, basic diagnostics, ECU flashing and coding, fault memory reading and deletion, guided and functional diagnostics, and DAS4 services. It’s important to note that certain technical limitations may arise due to the inherent nature of Pass Thru devices.

Crucial Note Regarding DoIP Model Series: For model series 206 and 223 onwards, which are purely DoIP-based, the following adapters have undergone rigorous testing by Mercedes-Benz AG and are approved for exclusive use with XENTRY Pass Thru for DoIP model series. Mercedes-Benz AG assumes no liability for the use of any other adapters.
Recommended Pass-Thru Devices for Non-DoIP Model Series:
- Actia Passthru+ XS 2G
- Bosch KTS 560
- ADIS Technology EURO VCI
Ensure that your chosen Pass Thru device adheres to the Pass Thru standard, and these devices are readily available for purchase on the open market.
Important Reminder: XENTRY Pass Thru EU’s compatibility is limited to the model series and designations explicitly specified. For comprehensive diagnostic coverage encompassing all model series and designations, we recommend considering our full-featured diagnostic solution, XENTRY Diagnosis Kit 4.
Typically, a XENTRY Pass Thru EU contract maintains validity for one year and is renewable annually upon payment of the corresponding fee.
