How to make Part D (C3) work with Xentry XDOS 07.2018?

Hi dear friends,…..which version of Xentry Diagnostic Openshell do you use for yourPar D C3? what about the latest and best/populous version used for C3? Here are tips and guides for you, includingpossibilityof a way to make working C3 mux with the latestXentry XDOS 07/2018(with old vehicle naturally)?



If there is any chance it will work, first thing is to play with toolkit.ini


It will be in c:\program files\Mercedes-Benz\SDconnect Toolkit\bin\toolkit.ini or C:\Program Files (x86)\Mercedes-Benz\SDconnect Toolkit\bin\toolkit.ini


There will be a line that says UseComPorts=

Here add the port number you wish to use.



Alsothere will be another line that says SkipComPorts=all

Change this to ;SkipComPorts=all

in detail…

Original line=

SkipComPorts=all


Modified line=

;SkipComPorts=all


Adding ;at beginning oflinemeans that this line is to be ignored.



Hopefullythis should mean SDnetControl will detect your interface.


However I have no idea if this still works, I have a feeling Xentry won’t work, and I can’t say if DAS will work.


I’m guessing it should work with HHT if you have it installed on a32 bitsystem



But note that since 2016-01 part Dis replacewith part Z (boschvci). so if you want to use C3, you have to use old driver.

isuggest usexentryxp/xdosup to12/2015and the most famous and favorite is 09/2014.


Honestly,09/2014is the best version for C3.. anything after that you have to do too many fixes to get it fully working..


I managed to get Xentry 05/2016 to work with my PartD aka C3. It’s just a fun project because you still can’t work on cars 2009/2010 and up that require Xentry.


Xentry 5/2016is the last versionas I indicated above that will work with a PartD.


Itis not workwith new cars another speed of CAN.


Btw, if you haveoffline coding,11/2012is the best.
