The targeted file is in C:\Program Files (x86)\Mercedes-Benz\SDFlash\Release\PKW.Notice：if you have already input your account info, you don’t need to exit.

But what if the same error showing “A fault has occured” keeps popping up?As you may see in the method:C:\Program Files (x86)\Mercedes-Benz\SDFlash\Release\PKW, PKW means the car type.

So in this case, you need to make sure your car’s type.

MB SD C4 Tourismo bus communication error (fixed)

I bought the MB SD C4+Dell D630 Laptop pre-installed bundle, when I test it have the problem SD Connect C4 cannot power on when connected with  Tourismo bus, I contacted there customer service at obd2toolcom, and here is the solution provided by their engineer.
I will explain my problem in detail:
” I have tried 2 different mb sd connect c4 on Tourismo buses and sd connect does not power on.In the meantime those MB SD Connect C4 works normally to any other MB Truck and car.also on Tourismo have check Mb Star C3 and works normally.”
You should check:
bus with OBD
pin 4 + 5
both must be connected and ground
In SDConnect “-” is 5 pin only. There is 4 contact not used in 16pin OBD connector.
“i’m getting an communication error when connecting xentry to a tourismo.”

A Communication error has occurred when access FPS system


Solution:
– turn OFF/ON BUS ground switch (our remove battery – cable). FPS1 wake up and Mercedes Star Diagnostic recognized FPS1/VIN code.
or
– enter the DAS ATEGO truck come and place manually and then it will work perfect
” Another problem is : “Currently the speed limit is set to 100 km/h. I’m trying to set it to higher value (with MB SD C4 DAS using modified EOL files). On the menu it tells me that I can, because there are higher values (105 km/h. 112 km/h, etc). But when I try to set the speed limit to higher than 100 km/h it doesn’t allow me to do it (can’t save the changes). When I try to set it below 100 km/h everything goes fine.”
I done the Access special settings , and it working perfect now!

How to use Xentry DAS on AVDI passthru

---

What is the AVDI recognized by Xentry?
Xentry Passthru is different from from regular Xentry openshell. Xentry passthru does not use SDconnect toolkit. When you launch the program it will give you a dropdown where you can choose which J2534 device (can be found at http://www.obd2tool.com/) you want to use.
How to use Xentry Passthru?
If you got the Xentry Passthru installed, there is a tool which will do the dirty work for you.
Normally it is not linked or doesnt have desktop shortcut but resides (at least in my installation)
under
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mercedes-Benz\xentry\bin\SelectPTDevice
IF you have installed your passthru (would that be AVDI or anything else) with correct drivers, registry entries etc it will just present you with list of options and you select your VCI from dropdown list.
Heard good things about fvdi abrites commander J2534 compatibility (real thing, don’t know about clones) so it shouldn’t be a big deal. Recently i have tried to use BOSCH KTS560 as passthru and it works perfectly okay.
For curiosity, i did also test the 20-euro MiniVCI that gets normally bundled with Toyota techstream packages. to my surprise it also works albeit slow and sometimes freezes the application. This one can be actually made to work even with old DAS like 2009, 2012….it’s just matter of proper settings in cal.ini and slave.ini
For DAS/Xentry users:
Old thread – but do not run the SetPassThruDAS.exe, as it was written for DAS/Xentry for Windows XP, and not Openshell or star diagnose Xentry Passthru. All you need to do is install a fresh OS (Windows 7 Enterprise x86 or x64 SP1) ideally on a physical laptop, connect the AVDI device to the USB port and run the SetupInterface_yourserialnumber_PASSTHRU_xxxxxxx.exe and Next through the setup process. If you have a current version of the Passthru software, you will see a grayed out option for installing drivers for DAS that you cannot select, but do not be concerned about that. It will detect the AVDI, and install the appropriate J2534 dll files in the Windows\System32 directory. Then continue installing your Passthru software provided on the Blu-ray from Daimler. It will take a while to install, and once it verifies your hardware ID and installs your StartKey, launch Xentry Passthru from the icon it creates, and it will prompt you first thing as to what interface you want to use. You will see Abritus72 AVDI PT (your serial number here) in the drop down box. Select that device, and that is all their is to it. Xentry should automatically communicate with the vehicle.
