What you need for Mercedes Vediamo Xentry/DAS Developer Mode ? When & why you should use Mercedes Vediamo Xentry Developer Mode? How to use Mercedes Vediamo Developer Mode step by step?
THE MOST IMPORTANT NOTE: you are trying on your own risk!!!!!!!!
Be
very careful when using the Developer functions! Many of them can cause
irreversible damage to the components of the vehicle and may cause
personal injury! Please be aware that modification to some specific
systems (airbags, braking systems) may make the vehicle unsafe for on
road use and may violate the local highway laws, rendering the car not
roadworthy in the legal aspect.
This is especially true for the
SRS modules, where unintentional usage of developer options may cause
deployment of airbags/tensioners and other aggressive restraint systems.
IMPORTANT NOTE: what do you need for Xentry/DAS Developer Mode?
– original
Mercedes diagnostic tools like Super mb star c3 or HQ clone like SDconnect C4 china clone mux
– DAS/XENTRY with good installation
– a laptop running with Windows XP better
IMPORTANT NOTE: why & when should you use Xentry/DAS Developer Mode?
As
a presumed DAS user you have probably learned already that there are
number of functions that would logically belong to the software options,
but they
are missing from the regular DAS installations. These
include recoding (variant coding) the control units without SCNs
(Software Calibration Numbers), de/activation of commercially sensitive
options (in-motion video of tv/dvd), recoding the configuration of
airbag units, seat belt reminders, changing the configuration of
instrument clusters, restoring damaged EEPROM contents for Comand/APS
and other ECUs and many more. There is also an additional benefit:
sometimes control units record a DTCs (error codes) that are filtered
out by the production software. Developer kit allows unfiltered view on
the module’s error memory, therefore allowing to see all stored trouble
codes, including the masked ones.
The reasons for disabling these
functions in the DAS setups seen at the dealership are very simple:
firstly, risk associated with using them is too high to open these tools
to (very often) under trained and rushing technicians; secondly, there
are several legal obligations that put restrictions on what the dealer
can do and what he can not – for instance, recoding tv-in-motion,
airbags and emission-re lated systems fall into this category. Thirdly,
electronically damaged components very often result in replacement,
therefore repairing (recoding) would have adverse effect on spare parts
revenue.
Here is how to : clean ASSYST Plus Memory
Firstly, you need the mentioned Developer key made according to your
LAN ID. Before scrapping your old key, take note of the LAN ID (there
are some cases when it changes ie. when reconfiguring the hardware) and
the current License Key in the DAS. Both information can be found in the
licensing menu of Star Utilities. Then replace your current key with
Developer key, save and restart DAS. After selection of vehicle class
there should be now a new screen (in German, except V-Series and W221
where it comes in English) informing you about dangers associated with
using Developer Kit. You are good to go now.
In Mercedes Vediamo Developer mode : (tested version 11-2010)
Steuergerate (Control units) ->F3
Aufbau (Body) ->F3
ZGW (CGW) ->F3
Entwicklungen (Development data) ->F3
Steuergerate – Anpassungen (Control unit adaption) ->F3
Programmieren (Update) von Steuergeraten (Control module programming) ->F3
Steuergerat programmieren (Auswahl) (Program control unit (Selection)) ->F3
Now we have 2 options to flash the ZGW/CGW with, choose the correct one
Don’t panic ! if you choose the wrong file , it terminates process and you can do it over again
Confirm Flash pop-up with Ja (Yes)
After that it says : “Das Steuergerate wurde erfolgreich programmiert”
->”OK” it ask for a reset -> JA (Yes) ->
ECU Reset (FN_ECU_Reset) ->F3 again ->F3
Now you Complete full History wipe
Enable Comand DVD/TV in Motion (W211 W219) and OTHERS
USE THIS TIP WITH CARE AND COMMON SENSE !!! AND OBEY LOCAL LAWS.
In obd2tool.com Vediamo Developer mode :
Audio, Video, Navigation und Telematik ->F3
a screen might pop up with all kind of settings, ignore and press F2
New screen with ESD warning ->F3 COMAND /AUDIO -AUDIO 50 oder COMAND ->F3
Entwicklungsdaten ->F3
Steuergerate-Anpassungen ->F3 Steuergerate-Anpassungen (Variantencoderierung) ->F3
HU Parameter ->F3 scroll down to line: Driving speed is more than 0 kph and
Driving speed is more than 10 kph and BOTH enable them and ->F3 to confirm coding
Now you be able to watch DVD/TV when car is in motion
Uprate the speed limited in a gasoline (ME-series controller) engine control unit
Log on to DAS, connect to the car, select:
Control Units -> Drive -> ME-SFI 28 -> Development Data.
Then select the Control Unit Adaptations -> Explizite Kodierung
This
option works quite the same in Diesel engine models, however i found it
more difficult to use (quite frequently modules are replying with an
error message to the attempt of recoding). I was able to successfully
remove the speed limiter on a CDI2 series module from the W210 model and
some others as well.
Addrear airbags to the AB control module
Control Units -> Body -> Airbag (AB) -> Development Data ->
Control Module Adaptations -> Variant Coding ->
Fahrzeugausstatung Kodieren
(the last menu entry can be slightly d ifferent in various module variants)
Select
the drop-down list in the field Airbag Hinten Rechts and Airbag Hinten
Links – set to YES. Back up to the main Airbag menu, reset the fault
codes, cycle ignition, reset fault codes again and cycle the ignition
for 2nd time (this step is very important).
Addfog lamps to function as a cornering aid
Select Body, then Driver Side SAM -> Development Data -> Control
Unit Adaptations -> Variant Coding -> Abbiegelicht set to ON
(“ja”).
Then go to the Passenger SAM (if present, for example in
211/219 model series) and similarly, perform the same coding in the
second SAM unit. I have found that quite often cars manufactured prior
to year 2003 have the relevant cornering lights option available in the
left sam, however right sam is missing it. Not a big problem since these
are readily and cheaply available from the second-hand market.
For
all the onboard systems to recognize the new function you will also
need to recode the CGW or EZS and mark the appropriate factory option in
the adaptations.
Hidden error codes
For W211/W219/W230
series with SBC system, go to the Chassis-> Sensotronic Brake Control
(SBC) then enter Development Data then call up Fault Codes. Most
likely, a car that has been driven for some time will have a code
“Event: ABS Bremsung” stored. This Fault/Event is not normally shown in
the general menu of DAS – it is being filtered. It actually
does
not represent an actual error, just a specific condition (hard braking
with ABS activation). You will find many modules that actually filter
out some more or less useful fault codes.
This menu is also very
useful when evaluating vague fault codes (ie: “Hydraulics fault” in the
general version in the developer menu can be drilled down to something
more meaningful like “rear left release valve stuck in closed state” –
this will come in German though).
Adapting the SRS control unit to a new car (different configuration, different VIN).
First of all erase all present error codes in the unit if possible. If
there are current faults the airbag module might not get properly
reinitialized.
Then proceed to the menu control unit adaptations -> special functions -> Control Unit is released.
From
this point do not turn the ignition off or reset the control module.
Proceed to the menu option “initial startup” where the current
configuration will be reinitialized and new VIN can be written to the
control unit.
Please pay attention to the specified configuration
(ie. Does the car have rear side airbags?) otherwise you will end up
with a controller that does not recognize airbags installed in the
vehicle.
After completing the initial startup, reset the control
module (cycle ignition) and erase all fault codes resulting from the
startup process.
Extend SBC life
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES USE
THIS PROCEDURE MORE THAN ONCE ON ANY CAR AS TRUE SERVICE LIFE OF SBC
UNIT IS AROUND 160-180% OF WHAT MB SET THE UNIT AT
Make sure engine is running !!!
In
Mercedes Vediamo Developer mode from obd2tool.com you need to go to
Entwickelingsdaten – > ansteueringen -> Gesamstliste aller
Ansteuerungen
to see how many times brake has been pressed there is a line that says: Bremsenzahler (DJ_GetBrLive)
then 1 line down there you see Bremsenzahler aktualisieren und Lebensdauerzahler F neu berechenen -> click it !
Parameter uINBR = 0
then click F3
1 line down Bremsenzahler auf beliebigen Wert setzen (DJ_SetNBr) -> click it
Parameter uINBR = 0
then click F3
then scroll down untill you see the line’s :
Lebensdauerzahler F neu berechenen (DJ_CalcLiveTime)
Parameter uINBR = 0
then click F3
Lebensdauerzahler F neu berechenen und schreiben (DJ_BuildAndWriteF)
Parameter uINBR = 0
then click F3
Log out of SBC !!
log out of verhicle !!
let engine run at least 10 minutes or drive at least 10 minutes
If no coils are damaged , SBC fault code is not AKTUEL no more
Desactivate seat children and ocuppancy seat in mercedes ml270 cdi
MUST READ !!
Warning !! Warning !!
After completing this procedure
NEVER use a child seat in this seat again
Warning !! Warning !!
EXTREME CAUTION TO BE USED WITH THIS METHOD
In obd2tool.com Mercedes Vediamo Developer mode , you have to Disable AKZE in passenger seat.
When you disable this feature, passenger airbag in Dashboard, will work
ALLWAYS when crash signal come’s from the front of the car , even if no
passenger is sitting in this chair . So in an accident from the front,
you allways have to buy a new Dashboard + dash airbag as well
Important !!
After you disabled AKZE in SRS unit ,you will notice you can’t erase the fault , or another fault came back (fault coding).
To complete procedure , you have to unplug the Yellow AKZE connector
under passenger seat, so SRS can’t measure anything connected on this
input port.
Now you can erase Fault codes in SRS , and your SRS light in Instrumentcluster will go off
MUST READ !!
Warning !! Warning !!
After completing this procedure
NEVER use a child seat in this seat again
Warning !! Warning !!
Activate this secret function as litres, datum, bigger pictures/symbols of some check controls on all models
like W211
AGAIN!
DISCLAIMER: The author takes no responsibility for any damage caused by
use of the Developer Kit of DAS. This option is a very powerful tool
but must be used responsibly and with extreme caution. If in doubt,
please do not blindly try the menu options – several of them will cause
EEPROM or FLASH memory damage, requiring the module to be disassembled
and reprogrammed using external tools – this is a troublesome and risky
operation. Unintentional actuation of components may cause mechanical
failures or even risk of fire – please remember, that in obd2tool.com
Mercedes Vediamo Developer Mode DAS will do exactly what you command,
all safety checks and interlocks are bypassed!
