Mercedes Benz MB Star C5 and MB STAR C4 which is better? Check user feedback below:

2021.06V MB SD Connect C4/C5 Star Diagnosis Plus Lenovo T420 Laptop With Vediamo and DTS Engineering Software Support Offline Programming

1.The feedback was based on who has both xentry connect and sdconnect systems.
2.MB STRA C5 is actually another case in SD C4 (normal C4, not DoIP one).

SDConnect Pros:
simple to work interface
uses less obd 12v power
lighter
better internet speed while interface is connected
more flexible for playing with soft like dts or vediamo
compatible with latest software, SDconnect now works with 2021/06 (in June 2021).

SDConnect Cons:
software is on your laptop and if you are not tech savy there is a big possibility you delete something or your key stops working

Xentry Connect Goods:
almost all software is installed on interface’s ssd
less chance software is going to break or get virused

Xentry Connect Nagatives:
does not support new software, the last SW its from 2020/06

harder to work with when you are setting up everything at the beggining like license, updates etc., easy after everything is setup
uses more power from obd 12v
heavier
internet speed is slower when using this interface

Recommendation:
If you have SD C4/C5 DoIP it is better than XC (Xentry Connect). XC is so slow even after upgrade. If you have good PC, XDOS is much faster. even though sdconnect interface is older than xentry connect, it is still supported even to 2021.06 version, while xentry connect xentry versions stopped at 2020.06.

XC don’t have problem with HHT, normal XDOS (win10 64bit) needs virtual machine etc.

MB STAR C4/C5 DoIP wifi:
Adds heat sink to improve the heat dissipation effect of the host to make MB DOIP C4 PLUS work more stably.

Have you ever been in a situation were you replaced an IC or PCM on a Ford, and just when “thought” the job was complete, the car won’t even start?!

Now you have several issues on your hand. If you’re an Auto Body Repair Shop, you just created a supplement that needs to go to a dealer. That’s going to waste time and money. If you’re an auto repair shop, you have to outsource this task to a local locksmith. Who feels good outsourcing stuff if you don’t have to?

This is Curt, your Autel Diagnostic Consultant, and today I am going to share with you how I helped my client code a key on a Ford 2008 Expedition. What’s interesting about this case study is my client from the Caribbean. He explained to me that if he wasn’t able to code the key, he would have to fly over a locksmith to fix the car or he would have to ship the car back to the dealer in Florida. So this was a big win for my client and Let me show you how we did it.

From 1992 to 2009 and certain newer vehicles, GM vehicles use the Tech 2 handheld scan tool. It is the same scan tool as is used also for GM, Saab, Izusu, Suzuki and Saturn including the Saturn Astra (Opel import).

The Tech 2 scan tool simply uses different 32 MB software cards which are removable and switchable. It is a very versatile tool. Extra memory cards cost an average of $449.00, which allows us to expand our diagnostic capabilities really inexpensively. The Tech 2 is menu-driven and user-friendly.

The Tech 2 scan tool is also used for reflashing GM vehicles. It uses a serial adapter with a network cable to connect the tech 2 to your laptop.

NOTE: A serial adapter is used on the laptops 9 pin serial port. Do not try to connect the tech 2 directly to your laptop with just a network cable, because it won’t work. GM has certified a specific brand serial to usb adapter for use on all modern laptops without a serial port. We do stock this part, with the cost being $59.95 plus shipping.

In 2004, GM began phasing in to CAN system cars and a CAN adapter was built so the Tech 2 could access them. GM called it a CANDI (Controller Area Network Diagnostic Interface) module.

If you are interested in having full diagnostic capability on GM vehicles 2009 and older, this is it. No compromises, and no expensive required subscription every year just to use it for diagnostics. You can count on the reliability of your diagnostic information 99.9% of the time when using a genuine Tech 2.

BEWARE OF CHINESE COPIES. THEY ARE SOLD EVERYWHERE. EBAY, CRAIGSLIST, EVERYWHERE AVERAGING $400-900.00. They don’t work correctly all the time and when they break, you throw them away. Don’t get suckered into a fake Tech 2 with a great price. We hear from people all the time that unfortunately got taken.

Chinese-manufactured Tech 2s are almost perfect on the outside. Inside is a whole different story. They can’t be repaired with Vetronix/Boschs quality parts. Chinese parts don’t qualify for the core charge! If you get one of these and it quits on you, toss it out.

In 2010, GM started phasing out the Tech 2 in favor of a laptop-based system called GDS 2. Six vehicles in 2010 are not Tech 2 capable anymore, with more being added to the list as the years go on.
The six vehicles are:

Chevrolet Camaro
Chevrolet Volt gas/electric hybrid
Buick Lacrosse
Cadillac SRX SUV
GMC Terrain
Chevrolet Equinox

However, as of 2013, there are still GM vehicles that require a Tech 2 scan tool, especially the trucks.

For those who have been waiting, after a year of trying to figure it out, it finally works!!

It seems that in addition to the codes originally found by simpaty, BMW is using additional codes to block certain features from working in certain countries, based on where you are located. By changing this coding, you can enable the Lane Change Assistant to work regardless of your location.

The 3 codes to be changed are:
HU_NBT or HU_MGU:
Spurwechselassistent – Change this to Aktiv

SAS Module:
C_SWA_Vorhanden – Change this to True
C_SWA_Land_Aktiv – You will have to edit the Werte values to “FF, FF, FF, FF” This is the item that blocks it from working in certain regions.

This worked on my 2020 530e, but the coding was the same when I was trying to get it to work on my 2019 X3, however at the time I was unaware of the C_SWA_Land_Aktiv change that needed to be made. This should work regardless of if you have iDrive6 or iDrive7, and of course this is applicable to cars with Driving Assistant Plus, as the Pro is not yet available on the BMW ICOM.

The ISA, or intelligent speed assist, isn’t blocked by region, just a few codes to change. I had enabled it on my X3 when I was coding the car to Euro spec to try to get the glare free high beams and the lane change assist to work. I will look over my old backup codes and see if I can remember what specific items changed for that to work. It didn’t automatically change though, it would alert me if the speed limit outside changed, and then I could press the rocker switch on the steering wheel and it would adjust.

You have to have the Steering and Lane Control assist on, and it has to be detecting the lane lines, as well as a physical barrier between you and oncoming traffic, so either a median or a barricade. It also only works at certain speeds, I believe over 40mph.
