The Xentry Diagnosis C6 emerges as a cutting-edge diagnostic VCI (Vehicle Communication Interface) tool, specifically engineered for Mercedes-Benz vehicles, encompassing both cars and trucks. This powerful device surpasses its predecessors, like the MB Star C4 and C5, offering enhanced capabilities and broader vehicle coverage up to 2025 models. Notably, the Xentry Diagnosis C6 supports the DOIP protocol, unlocking advanced functionalities, especially for SCN coding in newer Mercedes-Benz models.
Xentry Diagnosis C6: Next-Level Diagnostics for Mercedes-Benz
The Xentry Diagnosis C6 is not just an upgrade; it’s a leap forward in Mercedes-Benz diagnostics. It’s designed to work seamlessly with the latest XENTRY/DAS software, currently up to V2025.01, providing comprehensive diagnostic and programming capabilities. Unlike older tools, the Xentry C6 boasts firmware that supports online updates, ensuring it remains compatible with the newest Mercedes-Benz models and diagnostic protocols. Connection versatility is another key feature, offering both wireless and LAN cable options to suit various workshop environments.
This tool isn’t limited to just cars; it efficiently handles both 12V Mercedes-Benz cars and 24V trucks. While it excels with newer vehicles up to 2025, for older models, the SD Connect Multiplexer might be recommended, showcasing the C6’s focus on modern vehicle architecture. The core functions include robust star diagnostics and programming, with SCN Coding support available for users with online accounts. A significant advancement is its native support for the DoIP (Diagnostics over Internet Protocol) function, crucial for online programming of control units in contemporary Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
For software updates, users can opt to return the SSD for updates under a 1-year warranty or conveniently purchase a new HDD/SSD, offering flexibility in maintenance. Software activation is streamlined; upon receiving the HDD/SSD, users simply provide their Teamviewer ID and password for remote activation, ensuring a hassle-free setup. The software itself is multilingual, supporting a wide array of languages including English, German, French, Spanish, and many more, catering to a global user base. Finally, the Xentry Diagnosis C6 comes with a 1-year warranty on the main unit and free technical support, providing assurance and reliability.
Mercedes-Benz C6: Technical Prowess
The Mercedes-Benz C6 is engineered to meet rigorous industry standards, adhering to ISO-22900-1/2 MVCI with D-PDU Driver and ISO13400-1/2/3/4 DoIP Driver specifications.
