Unleash Extensive Functionality and Diagnostic Depth with XENTRY Diagnostics EU
XENTRY Diagnostics EU delivers a near-complete spectrum of diagnostic capabilities, including quick tests, basic diagnostics, ECU flashing and coding, fault memory reading and deletion, guided and functional diagnostics, and DAS4 services. While leveraging standard Pass Thru devices introduces some technical limitations, the software still provides exceptional diagnostic coverage:
- Rapid Diagnostics: Conduct quick tests and functional diagnostics efficiently (note: single-channel operation may extend runtime).
- Fundamental Diagnostics: Access basic diagnostic functions directly within XENTRY Diagnosis.
- Comprehensive Commissioning: Perform commissioning tasks including flashing, coding, and parameterization of control units.
- Broad Vehicle Coverage: Diagnosis is supported for:
- All Euro 5 and 6 certified Mercedes-Benz and smart passenger car model series (refer to DoIP note below).
- All Euro 5 and 6 certified Mercedes-Benz van model series (refer to DoIP note below).
- All Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) from Mercedes-Benz (refer to DoIP note below).
- XENTRY Flash Capabilities: Utilize XENTRY Flash for all Euro 5 and 6 certified model series, as well as BEVs.
- Standardized Symptom Processing: Benefit from symptom-based diagnostics using standardized protocols.
- Diagnosis over IP (DoIP): DoIP functionality is generally supported if your Pass Thru device is DoIP-compatible. Without DoIP support, flashing of the Headunit and Instrument Cluster is not possible for current PC and Van model series up to model series 206 and 223.
Important Note Regarding DoIP Model Series:
For model series 206 and 223 and newer that exclusively use DoIP communication, the following adapters are Mercedes-Benz AG tested and approved for exclusive use with XENTRY Pass Thru:
Please be aware that Mercedes-Benz AG assumes no liability for the use of any other adapters.
Recommended Pass-Thru Devices for Non-DoIP Model Series:
For optimal performance with non-DoIP model series, we recommend utilizing pass-thru capable devices such as:
— Actia Passthru+ XS 2G
— Bosch KTS 560
— ADIS Technology EURO VCI
Ensure that your chosen Pass Thru device adheres to the SAE J2534 Pass Thru standard. These devices are readily available on the open market.
Please be aware: XENTRY Pass Thru EU is specifically designed for the model series and designations mentioned above. For complete diagnostic coverage across all Mercedes-Benz model series, we recommend our full-featured diagnostic solution, XENTRY Diagnosis Kit 4.
Typically, a XENTRY Pass Thru EU contract is valid for one year and can be easily renewed annually upon payment of the yearly fee.
