As of Quarter 4/2022, accessing the full potential of your Mercedes-Benz diagnostic system requires an essential update: multi-factor authentication for XENTRY Flash operations. This critical change ensures the security of your diagnostic processes, and understanding it is key to maintaining efficient workshop operations. This guide provides you with everything you need to know about Diagnosis Xentry, focusing on the essential updates and capabilities of the XENTRY Diagnosis Kit 4, the premier tool for Mercedes-Benz vehicle diagnostics.
For those engaged in commissioning, programming, and coding control units, be aware that a secondary authentication step is now mandatory for each user. This is in addition to your standard login credentials. To ensure seamless access to diagnosis xentry functionalities, you will need to set up one of the following authentication methods:
- Smartphone Authentication App: A convenient and modern approach to secure access.
- USB Security Key: Utilizing a physical key that supports the FIDO2 standard, available from most electronics retailers and manufacturers.
We strongly advise setting up both authentication options immediately. This proactive approach ensures continuous operation even if one authentication method becomes unavailable, keeping your diagnosis xentry workflow uninterrupted. To assist with the setup process, a detailed HelpCard is available for download, providing step-by-step guidance.
