Review on Original C5 SDConnect Xentry Tab Kit for W222

I have focused on C5 mux for a long time, too expensive I think. And happily,last week, I just read a post from https://www.facebook.com/pages/MB-STAR/958955347459296?ref=bookmarks. It is amazing for me! Second hand but original!!! Then I went to mbstarshop by the link in the post.
Here, I would like to show you what I got first!


Although it is second-hand described on the web, it comes like a brand-new one. Without any scratch or damage!! Totally different from personal sellers! It only cost US$14,999, much much cheaper than a really original new one. Purchased from www.mbstarshop.com, with 5-day delivery.
I have to say C5 is really professional (also wonderful) for my love, W222(2014). It had efficient diagnostic program and complete vehicle database and the high-performance Panasonic tab H Tab with 4G memory and 13.3 inch LCD touch screen with advanced upgraded VCI+ communication interface. The nice customer service helped me to pre-instlled the software before delivery, which brought a lot of convenience for me. I used it when I got it!! And It is said that C5 diagnostic tool in the only one supports protocol---DOIP in the new Mercedes, which C3, C4 cannot support. Like SDconnect C4, C5 also supports wireless diagnosis.
I used it to for my air condition. Days ago, I got air condition regassed and noticed that while it was being done that the compressor clutch isn't working - so I have no air condition she has manual air condition with knows. The EC button works, well the light cones on! With the help of C5, I got the AC codes, and then search the codes’ meaning on the web to diagnose it well.
Luckily, it came back to my arms yesterday. Thanks to C5!!

Recently, many Mercedes owners have been looking on mbstarshop for Star diagnostic units but most of them really don't know why the laptop is necessary but see most come with a hard drive. Does the software need to be on it's own hard drive or can it be put on their existing drive if they have room? Here, we customer service would like to help will-be buyers out.

Quoted from users on specialized MB forums:
---Need to connect directly into a RS232 port without using an interface - this is why I went for the complete system with laptop.

Which version of MB star diagnosis to buy

  1.To buy best quality Star C3 2015.5 $459:
Recommend you MB Star C3 Pro 2015.5 with 5 pieces of cable, it is the best quality and most stable, for € $459 not with shipping cost
Even the middle box in RS232 to RS485 cable is made by metal.
  2.To buy cheaper Star C3 for $359
Recommend Mb Star C3 Pro 2015.3 with read head and with 7 pieces of cables. It has the same function as best quality Star C3.QQ截图20150827141515
3.MB SD C4 for $539 - most technicians highly recommend
1) Actually the SD c4 is highly recommended, The SD c4 is more up to date, SD c4 clone is faster.
2) Compared with Star C3, MB SD C4 can communicate by WIFI/wireless, support UDS protocol, work with a part of Mercedes Benz truck.
MB SD C4- Truck Support List:
Actros963/4,  Actros2,3,  AtegoIII,  AtegoII,  AxorII,  Eonic,  Zetros,  Actros,  Atego Light,  Atego Heavey,  HPN M96,  Atron,  HPN M2000,  SKL,  FSK,  Further model series.
3) to pay extra $39.99 and get Vediamo V5.00.5, with this software, you no longer need to apply online programming or online to change the SA. You can now use Vediamo any offline for car program, setting code, change the SA Code function.
4.To buy MB Star with internal hard drive or external hard drive
Both Star C3 and MB SD C4 are available with external and internal hard drive, to buy external hard drive or internal hard drive; it is specific to individual users. According to most users’ feedback, I conclude their advantages and disadvantages as follows.
External hard drive advantages and disadvantages:
1)  External hard drive is a much more versatile solution. If laptop broke, you could just plug it into another machine.
2)   It’s a lot slower than running it from disk, because of VMWare overhead. If you use it 2 or 3 times a year, a VM solution is perfectly fine.
3)   Hangs off the machine and can be damaged as you move the laptop around. If you pick up the laptop, the USB drive unplugs, then it will fall to the ground and you’re cooked.
Internal Hard drive advantages and disadvantages:
1) To minimize setup difficulties I recommend purchasing a kit which includes an internal hard drive with all software pre-installed.
2) Much faster, if you use it quite a bit then go internal hard drive.
3) Internal is so much nicer because now I just have the multiplexer and laptop to carry to the car. Nothing to unplug or fall off.
These months, many people would purchase SD C4 unit and pay extra Dell D630, they think it’s worth every penny… just takes some time to get to learn how it works.
