Share my experience here! Yesterday, I have used
I used:
SD Connect C4 diagnostic tool
Latest version 2016.03V Xentry
Laptop with Win 8 operating system
Steps to display the OAT:
Change the National identity from GB to Nederlands(my choice) as GB cars are prevented from displaying the temperature on the statusline.
In theBody Control Unit Menu
selectRear Sam
selectControl Unit Adaptations
thenNational version of ATA function
now choose a suitable National version
and write change to Control Unit.
In theInstrument ClusterMenu
selectDiagnosis to plant specifications
In theMain Menu of Control Module K16
selectControl unit adaptations
In theControl unit adaptations menu
selectControl unit adaptations (Variant Coding)
(if at this stage you select Menu-Werkseinstellung (Factory settings) and check the entry in Anzeige in Statuszeile you should find Geschwindigkeit if the car is UK registered. )
selectAktuelle Menueinstellung
change entries in
Anzeige in Statuszeile
toAussentemperatur (3 times)
selectVariantenkodierung
changeMenu 04 to Vorhanden
enableMenu 05 and Menu 08
save coding and retire with a stiff drink.
Done!

We have a customer asking how to activate the Mercedes Benz
I need to get the Mercedes Sprinter key coded cause I have changed the WSP. I was suggestedordering the FDOK keygen.With this dealer level tool Ican calculate FDOK encrypted random numbers for programming protected parameters in DAS. But what’s the user name and password of the FDOK? How to activate the FDOK?
This item can only be used on one laptop, you can not use it on different laptops at the same time.
DAS FDOKSupported calculation types:
• XT (changing of NOx Torque Limit)
• XN (erasing emissions-relevant fault codes in accusations of SCR exhaust aftertreatment system)

I got the MB star diagnosisSD Connect C4Dell D630 HDD (hard driver), when i installed the HDD into the Dell D630 laptop. The laptop asked me to select safe mode and required starting windows normally.
Error cause:
You did not normally shut down the computer when you insert the hard drive.
Solution:
Wait for 30 seconds. Start windows normally. Re-start the laptop,it will back to normal.
BTW,check your HDD format is ata or achi. We recommend set to achi mode in Win7 or Win8 operating system.

We have a customer whoseMB SD Connect C4diagnostic system runs great but suddenly require an VCI upgrade.
He rename the VCI update file, but still failed to run Star diagnostic self test(Error screenshot attached)
Solution:
Re-install mb sd c4 battery, update MB SD C4 firmware to V2.3.2.
Some users feedback that SDConnect with serial number 101044 will take firmware update risk. If youuse our DAS software without internet connection, it will work.

WithVediamo software, no longer need to apply online programming / online to change the SA, or offline for car program, setting code, change the SA Code function.
Free download Vediamo:
Language:
English/ German
Compatible tool:
SD connect c4/ mb star c3
Mercedes Vediamo Software is used by the plant engineers to develop diagnosis and engineering software, which is now used by Xentry and DAS, is based on the Mercedes Benz super engineering version developed and delivered to the general customer service dealers’ use.
The use of Mercedes Benz super engineering version has no limitation in diagnosis / modification / programming function are open which can not be through the VEDOC (the original application code changes with flow) can be free to increase or decrease the SA code, modify the objective, for example: the increase of vehicles equipped with SA500 electric folding mirrors. Commonly known as the Xentry and DAS development mode: open data project version in 2010 after the release, increase the number of functional limitations. So we will meet the vehicle version is too new to be into the control unit in use, or are unable to do any special modifications to the control unit.
For example: W204/2122012 instrument to modify the area family configuration, or open other resource advantage function. Diagnosis / Mercedes super engineering version of the code with code / modification / programming database using theXentrydatabase, so the Mercedes Benz super engineering version is determined with the Xentry version,as long as the database is new and can be used in new models.

2016 Xentry DAS in Hard Disk Drive (HDD) |
2016 Xentry DAS in Solid State Drive (SSD) |
|
Speed
|
HDD has higher latency, longer read/write times, and supports fewer IOPs (input output operations per second) compared to SSD. |
SSD has lower latency, faster read/writes, and supports more IOPs (input output operations per second) compared to HDD. |
|
Heat, Electricity, Noise |
Hard disk drives use more electricity to rotate the platters, generating heat and noise. |
Since no such rotation is needed in solid state drives, they use less power and do not generate heat or noise. |
|
Defragmentation |
The performance of HDD drives worsens due to fragmentation; therefore, they need to be periodically defragmented. |
SSD drive performance is not impacted by fragmentation. So defragmentation is not necessary. |
|
Components
|
HDD contains moving parts – a motor-driven spindle that holds one or more flat circular disks (called platters) coated with a thin layer of magnetic material. Read-and-write heads are positioned on top of the disks; all this is encased in a metal cas |
SSD has no moving parts; it is essentially a memory chip. It is interconnected, integrated circuits (ICs) with an interface connector. There are three basic components – controller, cache and capacitor. |
|
Weight
|
HDDs are heavier than SSD drives. |
SSD drives are lighter than HDD drives because they do not have the rotating disks, spindle and motor. |
|
Dealing with vibration |
The moving parts of HDDs make them susceptible to crashes and damage due to vibration. |
SSD drives can withstand vibration up to 2000Hz, which is much more than HDD. |
