Mercedes NTG2.5 Coding with SDConnect C4

Topic :Howto coding NTG2.5 on the bench

Tool option:SDconnect C4etc.

What you need to do is connect NTG2.5 with your SDConnect C4, you need to connect KL30/KL31/CAN-H/CAN-L, you don’t need to connect the ignition pin because NTG2.5 doesn’t have KL15.

And, you need to attach a 120ohm resistor as a terminal between CAN-H and CAN-L, it’s a request ofCAN BUSprotocol. You can check this. Found it on a forum

communicate-mb-ecu-with-xentry-without-car-1


communicate-mb-ecu-with-xentry-without-car-2


Then, if your connectionareall correct, you should usevediamoto code your NTG2.5, the CBF file is HU25.cbf, you can’t use Xentry/DAS because there is no ZGW on your bench, so the Xentry/DASwill never be connected with NTG2.5.

If you want to testrear viewcamera, you justneedconnect your camera to the NTG2.5, but you need supply +12V power to your camera manually.

Coding-NTG2.5


Manually trigger therear viewcamera output viaVediamo:

Just press "Rev. Cam.” item like below image in the system setting page, the rear view camera will active if you power the camera up.

rear-view-camera-vediamo


On a side note: KL31 bridge

KL 31 just means the Negative Battery Terminal / Ground (I am fromgermanyand the schematics here and in other countries say that Klemme 31 (short KL. 31) is the Minus Terminal ofanBattery.

So just connect Pin 15 (A-Block of the Quadlock Connector) to 12V+ (KL. 30) and Pin 12 to the Ground/Negative Terminal of your power supply (KL.31). And now press the ON Button and pray it works (which works always for me)

My findings: MB Variant coding tweaks & throttle delay

[[I am copying this post from the one I made on MBworld as well, I figure both forums should see it, especially considering MrScott belongs to this one!]]This post assumes you have some knowledge of the software used. I’m not entirely comfortable making a full walk-through for beginners, as this is potentially risky.

After spending quite some time tinkering with and learning aboutDAS/Xentry/Vediamo, I believe I’ve almost completely solved my issues with throttle lag on my car. Since owning the car I’ve noticed that depending on how the car is driven, like through heavy traffic or on country roads, the throttle response tothegas pedaldoes not seem to stay consistent. For example, if I start off driving the car in stop and go traffic, the pedal seems to become "lazy”; next time I mash on the gas, there’s a very noticeable delay in throttle input and sometimes the car doesn’t shift down when it should, either in C or S mode. It was quite annoying, and on a few occasions, kind of risky. Aside from that there’d be a very noticeable difference in the way the car performed on a day to day basis, sometimes it felt sluggish, and other times it felt pretty quick. I really didn’t like how it was unpredictable.

This is discussed in athreads like this, and it appears that ECU adaptations are the cause for this. I’m sure the adaptations would be effective in some cases, but where I live and how I drive, the adaptation process seems to have a difficult time calibrating the throttle response, and the result has been pretty undesirable to me. It seems others have the same issue, and have tried solving it doing the simple TCU reset. This reset does work, very temporarily. Every time I tried it, it’d help for a few drives but then it’d revert to sluggishness. I went over 10,000km after pulling thecar batteryand doing the TCU reset to see if the car needed a long time to "learn”, and it did improve, but the inconsistency/unpredictability of the throttle input, and delay, still remained an issue.

I’m very glad to have spent the money getting a diagnostic multiplexer, as it’s allowed me to learn quite a lot about how these cars operate. On top of that, I’ve done a bunch of tweaking to get things to how I’d like. If you have access to one, or know someone who does, the following tweaks have solved these problems for me. This could likely be accomplished inXentryrather thanVediamo, but I was unable to get access to the necessary settings throughXentrymyself. I Please note, I have no idea the effect this will have on warranty, as my car is completely out of any warranty..

MrScott52, a very helpful member of Benzworld posted a youtube guide on how to enable a few parameters to increase responsiveness of a diesel variant in an earlier version of DAS; these tweaks seem to make a difference with my 2.5L V6 M272 w204 as well. (I’ll link the video in a following reply.)

Attached below are the necessary parameter changes for the ME 9.7 ECU in Vediamo, which solved my issues with throttle delay (many listed in MrScott52’s video), and here are the descriptions of each:

#1 (Lastschlagdaempfung)This is the most important one. This parameter seems to be the main culprit for the inconsistent feeling throttle response and sluggishness, and I believe it causes the wonkythrottle bodyadaptations which I find so awful. Disabling it has removed most, if not all delay in throttle input. It is referred to as "load-reversal damping” inVediamo(german), but it is the "Throttle Change Damping” parameter inXentry. I changed this parameter about a month after the others, and it definitely had the most significant impact on throttle response, and now the throttle is very consistent in performance. I believe this parameter is more directly related to the actualthrottle bodythan thegas pedal, unlike the next parameter.

#2 (Pedalkennlinie) This is the pedal curve parameter. My car had KLD4 as default. You can play with this, and possibly leave it at KLD4. However, I changed it toKLD2. From what I understand,KLD2is meant for cars with a manual transmission, and as such, I’d expect the pedal curve to be the most "natural” feeling to the driver. In contrast, I believe KLD4 is more responsive, but "jumpier” (more erratic in terms of throttle input). Combining KLD4 with disabling the throttle change damping parametermaybe undesirable in terms of comfort/consistency.

#3(Momentenbegrenzung) This is the torque limit parameter. The main effect I’ve observed from disabling this is that the car doesn’t reduce throttle/torque as much while cornering anymore, and the car seems to accelerate slightly faster from a standstill than before. May not be necessary to fix throttle delay, but I find it favourable.

#4(Momentenerhoehung Getriebe) This parameter is supplementary to#3.Like MrScott describes in his video, it allows the engine ECU to monitor torque output and send it to the transmission, but keeps it within safe/comfortable limits. I find this parameter to improve gear shifts very slightly; torque input and acceleration remains very steady throughout gear shifts. I believe it very slightly improves acceleration, even compared to only having the torque limiter disabled.Do not change this to the GSG setting.Doing so resulted in some very uncomfortable shifting. I’m not sure if there’d be a long term effect on the gearbox here, so just don’t as a precaution. The option highlighted in black is the default setting – the ECU is not allowed to increase torque to the gearbox depending on measurement.

With all these parameters changed, I have my car performing the way I’d like it to. It’s performance remains far more consistent, there’ssignificantlyless throttle lag, and it does actually accelerate faster (I’ve measured), but only very slightly. Starting off in C mode on an incline also no longer feels like as much of a strain. Now, all of this being said, if you have the tools and such to do this yourself, or know someone who can,you do so at your own risk. I’ve driven over 10,000km already without any negative effects of this, but I just don’t want to be responsible if anything goes wrong. I can’t imagine anything would, though. If you are willing to do this yourself, please be aware thatthere are many ecu parameters that are difficult to understand, and modifying them at all could potentially cause irreversible damage.I do not recommend making adjustments to any other unknown parameters without thoroughly researching their function and/or purpose.

p.s the screenshots were taken in simulation mode, I didn’t think to screenshot anything while I was actually connected to my car. The highlighted values are still of course relevant.

Xentry Connect C5 Fake vs. Real

First ,see the fake mbstar c5: nothing update


Fakembstar c5 is another SDconnect c4 with a different look only

fake C5 adopts the same design in appearance as the genuine from French ACTIA Company

samesw, some PCB, same result


See the fake board from c5 mux, completely same as sdconnecc5


sd-connect-c5-fake-pcb-1sd-connect-c5-fake-pcb-2sd-connect-c5-fake-pcb-3sd-connect-c5-fake-pcb-4

To buy a fake c5 is to have a c4 in hand.



But now, you have luck with a real mercedesstar diagnostic c5.


Genuine Xentry Connect C5

xentry-connect-c5-genuine

1:1 clone of the original

xentry-connect-c5-real

This 1:1 clone of the original is the newest star diagnosis system in the year 2017.

Same as the one produced by French ACTIA Company, can test Engine / Transmission / airconditioning /SRS.ABS/anti- theftsystem and OBD-II system.


New & Update:

1 This C5 is the real version withHQ PCB like the original, not the cheaponemadeby SD connect PCB.


2 support the newest hybrid W222.


3 has an Ethernet switch, which switches the TCP/IP messages in the event of DoIP diagnosis to the vehicle side.

What the difference between C5 and other Mercedes star diagnostic?


Hardware: The hardware of C5 is better and stable than SDconnect C4; it has a qualitative improvement in hardware and software by authorization of diagnostic interface to control the software.

1.OS: Windows Embedded Standard 7(32bit)

2.Processor: ArrandaieCeleron P4500oderP4505(38W TDP)

3.Memory: 4G hard disk with 256GB SSD

4.Display: 128*64 PX

5.Battery: 40 minutes (When CPU capacity to 60%)

6.Weight: 1.9KG

7.Network connection: WLAN : IEEE802.11 a/b/g/n2.4+5GHZ

The way to connect: support wireless connection via 1000M workshop switches, also supportwiredconnection.


Software: All diagnostic software is loaded into the Xentry Connect multiplexer itself.

The management software can be installed on any computer with Windows 7 - 32-bit or Windows 8 - 32-bit and serves only for communication with the multiplexer


The licensing system is reworked - now licenses are stored on MB servers - Any license changes are tracked by the multiplexer when connected to the Internet network.


Why you should buy Xentry connect?


After 2015, all Star Diagnosis equipment is no longer supported. First of all, this means that there is no update of the diagnostic data for the newest cars and their systems, as well as the lack of the possibility of coding and programming of electronic units due to the backlog of the software data level in the device, from data in the electronic control units of the car.


Already at the end of 2014, at most dealerships, almost all of the previously used Star Diagnosis Compact4 with SDConnect DoIP multiplexers were almost completely removed. Instead, dealers received Xentry Kit kits, which include the latest Xentry Connect multiplexers and Xentry Tab tablets from Panasonic. Tablets are custom-made, although they also have a "civilian" version - the Panasonic Toughbook CF-D1, somewhat inferior in terms of battery life to the original Xentry Tab,but ithas a much more powerful configuration.


Honestly, the need to use the Xentry Tab on non-dealer services seems somewhat exaggerated to me. With dealers everything is clear - they were forced to use this equipment.


What about original Xentry connect c5 price?


Undoubtedly, the original c5 with Panasonic tablet from the ACTIA Company is excellent ... But ... Its price is disheartening. The cost of the Japanese tablet is realistic to buy pieces of eight new laptops or tablets from other manufacturers.


So , recommend buying an original Xentry connect and 1:1 clone:http://www.mbstartool.com/wholesale/mb-sd- doip-c5-star-diagnosis-with- dts- vediamo-software.html(it’s 12000usd, the same result as the original), then buy a laptop yourself . the software from which Xentry Connect is managed can be installed without any problems on any computer that has a 32-bit version of Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 10. It's clear with Xentry Connect itself - there's noalternative .


After all, in thischoicethere are many reasons that encourage one to make a decision. The main thing is one: since 2015, the diagnostic multiplexer Xentry Connect C5 becomes the only one used at dealerships.


Thus, with this equipment, you do not lag behind the progress. You use in your work the best that is available today. Each your client, seeing with his own eyes that you in your work use the same device that he saw at the dealer's service station, will understand that he made the right decision entrusting his car to your specialists.


Xentry connect HQ clone worksgood?

Yes, attach the test photos

SD connect C4 LAN & WiFi Configuration Manual

Topic:How to configure SD connect C4 LAN & WiFi to solve DAS fault (1.1)-1.501.9500.



Software:2011/3 Xentry


Status:I’ve started up SDNC to see if the connection is okay, and it turns green when I connect the multiplexer via LAN, but when I try the wifi it stays red. It can also read out some data from the multiplexer so I am assuming thethe multiplexeris working fine too


Error:If I connect it to a car, DAS keeps popping up the (1.1)-1.501.9500 error (as I understand that must be some kind of communication problem). The car’s wiring is fine as KTS 520 can communicate with it.

sdconnect-caesar
see the error message DAS gives

sdconnect-das-error

SDConnect toolkit says that my mux is available, but when I click on the button in the middle I get an error message, with an error code 750. That button is supposed to be for searching for multiplexers. This kind of gives me the impression that something isn’t quite working right :S

In the toolkit admin, it displays a serial number, says the mux is available. See in the attachments.

sd-connect-toolkitsd-connect-toolkit2sdconnect-toolkit-admin-1sdconnect-toolkit-admin-2



Solution:

It’s working!!! (At least it’s working via LAN, have not tried WLAN yet.)

I can’t believe it :O

Changedvalue in cal.ini to PART_W (to be exact, didn’t need to change it, it was PART_W, just left it that way ).

As for the rest of the instructions, I haven’t been able to follow them exactly. I also got a vid with instructions and it’s a little bit different (I’ll post it here if anyone needs though). Forexamplethe LAN IP address is 172.29.127.112, but it seems to be working that way.AlsoI haven’t been able to configure the "roadWLAN”,because it doesn’t matter what I enter into the "key” field, it keeps saying that the key cannot be divided by 2 and therefore it is not hexadecimal

Hope this isn’t going to hinder my chances of using WLAN…

But I’m going to find out in a few anyway.


EDIT: Also tried with LAN IP: 172.29.127.119, it doesn’t make a difference. SDConnect works with both IP-s.

Damn….I clicked on the "Delivery condition” button in the SDconnect toolkit, and now I cannot turn on the WLAN on SDconnect. I think it wrote something into the MUX’s software :S

The LAN connection still works though, so the MUX is not blocked yet luckily….

DAS CAL830 error is because this new DAS was never intended to be used with an old Part DMUX..


To solve DAS CAL830 error:


Change bin file

Before changebinyou must rename your oldbin..

Maybe you already haveMixedbin atyour DAS program..

How Calibrate Airmatic Suspension On W211

Simpleoverview of calibrating my W211 suspension using the inclinometer app on my smartphone instead ofRomesstiltmeter. I did not have a picture to calibrate the front suspension, but only the photo of the rear calibration. In the photograph showing the rear voltage value at 2.34 volts, it was confirmed that the rear axle was -1.2 degrees. The original value was close to 3 volts, the rear part of the car was 1 1/2 "lower and the rear axle was -2.8 degrees.

2005 E55 AMG

-Straightened steering wheel by adjusting tie-rod ends (was offset to 1:30 o’clock). Set front toe to 0.5mm toe-in each side using string measurement.

-Calibrated suspension using Xentry DAS. Rear suspension sitting too low causing too much negative camber. Right front suspension lower than left front. Corrected.

-Before: ** = "Axle Inclination” (rear) or "Control Arm Inclination” (front) Left Rear Right Rear Left Front Right Front Camber -2.3 -2.3 -1.3 -1.2 Height 25 3/8” 25 3/8” 26 ½” 25 5/8” ** -2.8 -2.8 +2.6 +2.4

-After: ** = "Axle Inclination” (rear) or "Control Arm Inclination” (front) Left Rear Right Rear Left Front Right Front Camber -1.6 -1.7 -1.1 -1.2 Height 26 3/4” 27” 26 ¼” 26 ½” ** -1.2 -1.2 +3.1 +3.1 Note: Rear inclination measured directly off of drive axles; front inclination measured off of "nubs” on lower control arms. Confirmed voltage values withinrange, then entered new inclination values into Xentry DAS for programming. Successfully programmed suspension control module.

A brief overview of calibrating the suspension on my W211 using an inclinometer app on mysmart phonein lieu of aRomessinclinometer.

WIS from DAS: WIS is not available on this system

Topic: WIS from DAS not run


I installedWISStandanlone07/16 on XDOS 09/16.

WIS works good from desktop and from Xentry, but whenitry start WIS from DASihave error: " wisis not available on this system”

WIS is not available on this system


Reply:


WIS Standalone works just perfect from Xentry and DAS,..from desktop icon too!

But there is one condition for the system that lots of peopledontuse,.. ordontunderstand!

Some years ago Daimler start to link WIS documents through Xentry system properties!

This way all documents will be shown only ifxentryis running,..and DAS was called through Xentry!

Forget DAS standaloneexe,..it is easy to be used withoutruningxentry,..but it cannot link documents toWIS, SDmedia and TIPS



Another good tip: WISnot runin DAS help

Insert this folder (WIS_LINK) in

F:\Programm\DAS\Trees\PKW\Programm and

F:\Programm\DAS\Trees\Global\Programm


Before you make it rename the original folder.

And goto SDNC- Konfiguration-Server

mark Offline (WIS Standalone)


I hope it will help.

Mercedes W220 S55 ESP Variant Coding

What isvariant coding? And how to do on Mercedes S55 ESP?


Purpose:ESP module variant coding withStar diagnostic


Vehicle:2002 Mercedes w220 s55


Problem:I get a code under ESP module saying C1511-005 Coding Error Variant Coding is incorrect


Reply:

The variant coding in question is set by using factory data. That factory data is basically what chassis that engine control unit is bolted to. Things likeweightof the car, yawsensorand acceleration sensor parameters, moment arms, etc etc.

Once the engine control unit "learns” its variant coding, it is permanently and irrevocably locked down.


The ESP module reads the variant coding from the ECU. Once read, its ” soft” locked.


Your trouble code suggests that the ESP module has a variant coding that differs from that of the ECU.


Is this a recent occurrence? Did you perhaps havean thirdparty ECU tune performed? Was the ESP modulereplaced ?Is the trouble code stored orcurrent ?


Using STAR you can go into the ESP and check the currency of the error code and determine if it was 9 years ago or last Tuesday. If it was a long ago and a stored code, I would clear it and move on. If it is current, you can force a variant locking reset of the ESP module in STAR diagnostic and see if the code returns. If the trouble code returns, that would make it a current and ongoing error. If that turns out to be the case then perhaps the ESP module has gone "breasts skyward”.


Look here:


in STAR diagnostic

go to theESP moduleunder CONTROL UNITS

CHASSIS

ESP

Fault Codes

Select C1511-005

1. to the right it should say CURRENT or STORED

hit F8

It should show you how many time the car hasbenstarted after the code was detected. "0” means the fault is CURRENT, any number greater than 0 the fault should be STORED and past history. The ( obviously ) higher the number of start cycles the longer ago it was.

2. Double click C1511-005

Read thepre conditions

hit F3

read the sequence and follow it to (hopefully) force a variant coding re-read/write.

It would seem that the ESP reads the ECU on everystart up. Having a bad TCUMAYbe contributing to the ECU variant coding being off kilter. I would think there would be some P2000-P2564 series codes displayed for that though.



The most important note:When you get into adaptation it shows 000000 zeros on thevinnumber section and ask you to entervinto match it. tried but no success.


How to solve:


Bear in mind I am using Xentry-Sim.

Paramaeters: specified US D2B version 220.175

Control Units

Drive

Transmission: selected 722.6 as of 2001

Control Unit Adaptations

Firststab in the dark, try F7 ( Perform Synchronization ) In other words.. ” go fetch me the VIN from the ECU ”

If that is successful ( something other than 0’sdisplayed) ,then F5 ( confirmation of the VIN ).

If not successful, try entering VIN as it appears normally, then F5

If that doesn’t work try entering as internal FIN, 2201751Axxxxxx wherexxxxxxis your chassis serial from Normal VIN. Then F5.

If none of that works…Itmaybetimefor some of that professional help mentioned earlier up the thread.

Try that and see what happens


I have no training asa MBmech/tech and offer this as just a possible direction to proceed in. The ( very ) highly paid professionals at theDollarshipor the ( not so ) highly paid folks at a good independent shop should/would have the final say.

DAS/Xentry Sim Error: No language defined (solved)

Q:I haveproblemwithXentry Sim11.2011, when itlaunchSim DAS -> No language defined!

How to fixit ?

A:Place DAS SIM and DAS Shortcuts ondesktop:

DAS shortcut target as: F:\Programme\DAS\bin\DAS32R2.exe -len

And for DAS SIM Target as: F:\Programme\DAS\bin\simdas.exe -*CALsimu -*ctxtsim.sli-*nolog-*len

Q:do you have DAS32R2.exe for 11.2011. I launch ORG DAS32R2.exe say Star DAS via Xentry

A:you can usexentrysim

no worries

starting 05 2011 das execute underxentry

if u insist to use das standalone, then use 01 2011 or 2010 version asPatriansaid.

why you shouldlookingfor difficult ways

therearesome reason why missdaimlerdevelopedxentryand merge Das inside it.

best wishes

Q:I want to useSimDAS

OfcourseI launch Xentry Sim first but when I choose C Class (203). SimDas is executed but " No language defined! " and not run

A:It seems that the installation not goingperfect.

you mustpassedall the installation ways to finish button.

And the nature junction f older "Üserdata"fromC to F will be created itself

when you have a good installations steps.

no need to use any junction method. :tdown:

the folderUserdatain F:\ will be seen as a book folder, a little different than C:\.

take a notice on that asPatriansaid above.

anywaywish u a good booobieeess

there you go ... M8 ....
