Xentry Passthru 06.2023: Guide to Setup Vediamo for Enhanced Diagnostics

For automotive professionals utilizing Xentry Passthru 06.2023, integrating Vediamo can significantly enhance your diagnostic and coding capabilities. This guide provides a step-by-step process to ensure seamless setup of Vediamo by correctly transferring necessary files from your Xentry installation.

To begin, you’ll need to manually copy specific CBF and SMR-D files from your Xentry directory to the Vediamo database. Follow these instructions carefully to ensure proper integration:

1. Copy CBF Files:

   • Navigate to your Xentry CBF file directory. The path is typically: C:\Program Files (x86)\Mercedes-Benz\DAS\comdat\Transp\cbf
   • Copy all CBF files from this location.
   • Create a new folder specifically for CBF files within your Vediamo data directory: C:\ProgramData\Vediamo\VediamoData
   • Paste the copied CBF files into this newly created folder.

2. Copy SMR-D Files:

   • Locate your SMR-D files within the Xentry installation. The directory varies depending on your Xentry version:
     • Older Xentry Versions: C:\Program Files (x86)\Mercedes-Benz\Xentry\Kontexte\ODXProjekte\VAN_COMMON
     • Newer Xentry Versions (including Xentry Passthru 06.2023): C:\Program Files (x86)\Mercedes-Benz\Xentry\MB_VAN\SMRX
   • Copy all SMR-D files from the appropriate directory.
   • Within the same VediamoData folder created earlier, create another new folder for SMR-D files.
   • Paste the copied SMR-D files into this new folder.

3. Run Vediamo and Establish Connection:

   • Launch the Vediamo software. Accept any terms and conditions presented upon startup.
   • Once Vediamo is running, the software should automatically detect your SDConnect interface and display its serial number. This indicates a successful connection.

4. Select Coding Mode and Control Module:

   • In Vediamo, choose your desired coding file type. Select “MVCI/smrx” for coding with SMR-D files or “CAESAR” for CBF files.
   • Click on “Ecoute” to initiate communication.
   • Select the specific control module you wish to code by choosing the corresponding CBF or SMR-D file.

By following these steps, you can successfully integrate Xentry Passthru 06.2023 files with Vediamo, enabling advanced coding and diagnostic functions. For further assistance with Vediamo operation and coding procedures, numerous video tutorials are available on platforms like YouTube. Remote support from experienced technicians can also provide valuable guidance for complex coding tasks.
