MB STAR C3, sdconnect c4 , sdconnect C5 and VCI clone C6 Comparison

 

Mercedes Benz Star Scanner is a very popular car scanner in the market. However, many customers are confused about when to buy one as there are four versions of MB Star: Mercedes Benz Star C3, Benz Star C4, Benz Star SD Connect Compact 4 C4 and VCI clone C6.

Mb Star C3: It requires a laptop so that you can troubleshoot your Mercedes-Benz via Xentry software. While on paper it is slower than MB Star C4, it has proven to be a very reliable and robust scanner that is not plauged with WiFI connectivity issues like the Star C4.

MB Star C4 is the latest Mercedes-Benz wireless multiplexers that can connect to your PC via wireless connection. Being the latest Diagnostic Scanner for Mercedes-Benz it works faster, once you resolve any connectivity issues that is.

MB STAR C5 provides complete diagnosis for newest hybrid W222,with a qualitative improvement in hardware and software by authorization of diagnostic interface to control the software,it will allow you to work on windows xp, win7/8/10 system.

Mercedes Benz C6 OEM Xentry diagnosis VCI DOIP Pass thur interfac is the latest interface for For Mercedes & SMART vehicles can replace Star C4/C5. XENTRY Diagnosis VCI acts as a Pass-through Interface, also called MB Star C6, For Benz C6 multiplexer to provide complete communication between a vehicle and the XENTRY software loaded on a PC.

When referring to "online", it means that in order use certain programming functions, you must be signed in to mercedes factory Xentry online service just like the dealer. Basically you're logging in to their servers to update, program, and code your vehicle. It is not very feasable or economical for the normal DIY'er to purchase this from Mercedes as they frown on cloned star tools and even if they allowed you, its very expensive ($3k/year).

However, there are plently of providers online that have legitmate logins/passwords to access Xentry online and charge for a single use, day rate, month rate, and year for a more reasonable price. It requires some sort of team viewer where you get everything ready to code, they log in remotely, then you code everything yourself and then end the session. If you are planning on doing this, then you need to have a DAS/Xentry version that is less than a year old. MB servers block software older than that from logging in online.

Offline programming allows you to do certain programming while not logged in to xentry or even an internet connection. Certain funcitons must be done by online coding no matter what. There was a cutoff in software version (5/2015 i believe) where you can no longer use offline programming. So if you purchase a machine to do offline programming it will never be able to program online. Confusing huh!

Bottom line:
Star C4/5/6 running at least 12/2021 software will program online but not offline.
Star C4 running 5/2015 to 12/2021 will not offline or online program. Must be updated to 3/2019 or newer to do online programming.
Star C3/4 running from 3/2015 and older can program offline but will never be online capable.

Reviews on the Benz diagnostic tool sd c4, c5, C6

1. Difference between Benz c4 and c5 Multiplexer

What’s the Mercedes XENTRY SCN coding?

What’s the Mercedes XENTRY SCN coding?

Mercedes SCN Coding Software Calibration Number (SCN) coding is required to update the software when a new Electronic Transmission Controller (ETC) or fuel control unit (ME) is installed. In a majority of the systems in Mercedes Benz, SCN coding is required after the replacement.

Why is this important?

Because if you are experiencing trouble with your transmission, there is a good chance that the problem is with your ME Control Unit and that SCN coding is needed to resolve the issue. Unauthorized technicians can not fix this problem because only certified technicians can access the Mercedes-Benz system server.

ALL work on your Mercedes should be done by a technician who is SCN certified.
All these systems require network authorization from the Mercedes-Benz Technical Service Center for the completion of the process. Unauthorized technicians can’t do this. These systems like:

SRS airbag computer

TCU 722.9 gearbox computer replacement or Gearbox module
SAM computer, ABS, ESP control unit
NTG COMAND system
Intelligent headlight computer instrumentation, and ME modules, among others.
Why SCN Coding Services Are Needed
SCN coding is required for a number of reasons. First of all, it is required by law; you may also be fined if you have not performed this crucial step. Secondly, you need this if you want to make sure that your vehicle works at optimal levels. SCN coding is also required to prevent any aftermarket enhancements that are done to improve the performance. If you want to install an additional control module in the future, it will require SCN coding.

Here are some of the things that happen when you need SCN coding. First of all, you check engine light will be on. You may notice that your transmission gets stuck in 1 gear. If you turn the engine off then on again, this may resolve the problem, but only temporarily, then the same thing happens again. You may also feel a kick when you shift into drive or reverse. Any of these could be signs that your Mercedes needs SCN coding.

How does SCN Coding work?

The repair process of the ME control unit requires the technician to update the Xentry diagnosis software in order to solve the real issue. Now, to update and correct the software programming, you need to re-code it with the help of SCN Coding with the right OEM VCI tools. For example, To repair the ME control unit two steps are required: flashing and updating the software by using the Software Calibration Number (SCN). However, most independent Mercedes Benz service shops cannot perform this process of updating the Mercedes Benz ME control unit SCN because only the authorized technicians can access the Mercedes-Benz server.

Why flashing is required in the updating process of Mercedes Benz ME control unit software?

In simpler terms, flashing is a method to update the ME control unit software. Flashing would be required in many circumstances; for instance, in cases when your DTB requires the software to be updated, when TAC/EDAC requested the updated software, if there is any part with a new ECU number or when a new Mercedes Benz ME control unit is identified by SCN.
