Frequently Asked Questions About Xentry Diagnostic Software
Q1: What are the minimum system requirements for Xentry software?
A1: To run Xentry smoothly, we recommend:
- Operating System: Windows 10 (64 Bit) or Windows 11 (64 Bit)
- RAM: Minimum 8 GB (16 GB recommended for enhanced performance)
- Storage: Minimum 150 GB free HDD space; SSD (Solid State Drive) highly recommended for faster loading and greater durability.
- Browser: Edge for Windows (for accessing web-based features).
Q2: What is the functional difference between Vediamo and Xentry?
A2: While both are diagnostic tools for Mercedes-Benz, they serve different purposes and user levels. Vediamo is an engineering-level software used for deep-dive diagnostics, module development, and ECU modifications. It is intended for engineers and advanced users. DAS/Xentry, on the other hand, is a workshop-level diagnostic tool designed for technicians to perform routine diagnostics, repairs, and maintenance in a service environment. Xentry is more user-friendly and guided, while Vediamo requires expert knowledge of vehicle systems.
Q3: How can I update my Xentry software to the latest version?
A3: Software updates are facilitated by either sending your HDD/SSD back to us for updating or purchasing a new HDD/SSD with the latest software version. Currently, online updates are not supported to ensure software integrity and prevent installation issues.
Q4: Is the included hard drive an internal or external drive?
A4: The hard drive provided is an internal hard disk designed to be installed inside a laptop as the primary boot drive. It is not intended for use as an external hard drive as this can lead to software file corruption and operational issues.
Q5: What should I do if my laptop fails to boot after installing the Xentry hard drive?
A5: If your laptop does not boot after installing the HDD/SSD, you may need to change the disk mode in your BIOS settings to AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface). This setting is often required for the system to recognize and boot from the new hard drive. Consult your laptop’s manual or search online for specific instructions on how to change SATA operation mode to AHCI in your BIOS.
Q6: Can Mercedes-Benz software be configured with FDOK Calculator software?
A6: Yes, we offer customization options including pre-installation of FDOK Calculator software with Mercedes-Benz diagnostic software. If you require FDOK Calculator, please specify this in your order notes or inform our support team when placing your order to ensure it is included in your custom software setup.
