What if the MDI error LED is on

1.What if the MDI error LED is on?
Power cycle the MDI. If error light stays on, perform a software recovery procedure. After the software recovery procedure has been executed, the GM MDI Scan Tool should pass the POST and the error LED should be off. If the MDI error LED is still on contact your customer support center. The MDI must be connected using USB and the latest version of MDI firmware must be installed before usage.
2.What if the MDI does not power up?
The MDI automatically powers up when power is applied to the DLC or the AC adapter, the MDI will not power up on battery power alone. If the MDI was powered down manually then the MDI will need to be powered up manually by pressing the ON/OFF button.
?Power MDI from an external source, AC 12-volt adapter or MDI DLC cable.
?Check cable connectors and power sources.
?Press ON/OFF button on the MDI.
3.Why does the MDI sometimes take longer
than 1 minute to complete POST (Power On Self Test)?
The MDI will take approximately 1 minute to complete POST the first time it powers ON following a firmware update.
4. Why does the MDI beep when power is lost?
This beep indicates the MDI AAA batteries are temporarily supplying power to the unit. If power is removed from the MDI, there will be an audible beep for approximately 30 seconds before the MDI powers down. The AAA battery life can be extended by manually powering the MDI down.
5.Why does the MDI turn off immediately when external power is lost?
If the AAA batteries have been installed and are charged, the MDI should remain powered up when external power is removed for up to 30 seconds. The amount of time the MDI remains powered depends on the strength of the batteries.
?Verify AAA batteries have been installed correctly.
?Replace AAA batteries.
6.Which version of MDI Manager software is on the PC? The MDI?
On the MDI Manager Explorer screen, select ‘Show Details’. The software version information is displayed for the currently selected MDI. The ‘Help’ tab will also show software version info (PC only if not connected to an MDI from www.obd2tool.com).

Remote programming with Tech 2

So now I can show you guys why that actually failed although I hit the button a little bit before I thought I was gonna have the Tech 2 ready. So programming is in progress this is the part two of the first part of the remote programming so if you missed the first one and it’ll make no sense to you whatsoever. but the reason why this one wasn’t programming which I’ll show you know that’s the programming was successful is this guy right here he’s actually connected.

I’ve already had all this part just put it back in for right now though but they had that wired into the last two lines it was not pulling down the line. It was not interrupting the line in any other way then when I was trying to do the programming. it was just there and apparently trying to do something with that line and preventing it from being able to talk.
So always look for things like that if you’re about to do a programming and there’s something wrong that’s one of the things that you want to make sure that you have disconnected.

Alright so that’s a successful turn the key off hit the continue button come back out of here and one thing you can do just to make sure is go into diagnostics and pull up 2001 my beauty truck powertrain this is a 5.7 VIN. it’s under 86 and they can go down into the information and pull up our VIN number if the good numbers there whoops.


let’s turn that key back on dopey there’s our VIN number,then we definitely got our calibration in as long as that’s there you’re okay no bricks today and I’ll come in here and they’ll probably get the Car Diagnostic Tool for so they’re like a twenty six hundred possibly a sixteen hundred sixteen thirty one.

There you are that the turns start a naval signal not correct so just to show you because they have that thing in there that says vehicle theft deterrent we will go back hit enter go back into the service pro gaming system request the information again Chevrolet 2001 light duty truck Express gasoline hit enter and get this mosquito out of my face there I’m really suffering for you guys now I got to ask you over here even my arm as I’m holding up the camera

All right is the VIN cracked yes it is this time turn off the ignition disconnect ektu all that good stuff we don’t need to do any of that just go back to the main screen okay we’re just gonna stay plugged in so we’re gonna come down here and hit new and we’re gonna come up here I’m going to hit the remote again and we’re gonna hit reprogramming you see you this time hit next and again it’s going to start communicating up here a second let’s say download mode rs-232 possibly

There we go once it does that you should be getting that and yes these old ones are tedious and all that good stuff but it becomes necessary now there’s a VIN number this time around it pulled it up perfectly fine hit next.

I’m gonna go up here an it vehicle theft deterrent and when they learn and we read next.

I remember we’re not telling the car or anything all we’re gonna do now is we’re going to transfer over that data how we first we didn’t know if it’s an export or not so let’s see which one is export, which one’s not that’s domestic and that’s export we are domestic so we hit the mistake weird next next again and it’s going to install a very small file basically just a command to learn.

That’ll be now up here get back to the main screen its back on the main screen and they’re going to service programming hit program ECU am I sure you betcha and then you get a timer say preparing controller for programming performing programming operations and this time around what you get is please wait 10 minutes remaining
Now you can wait 10 minutes and sit here and stare at this thing I’m going to tell you now Chevy Express Van zhis Peschel II when you do in the old remote programming this Pro this process or alright that’s a you know this is a 2001 I will say anything prior to 2001
it will not work 2002 2003 have actually had a couple of them that did go through but certainly not on this one so I’m just gonna cut the video right where it is the next part of this here if you wanted to do this manually you have to do in the programming is I’m sure most of you guys are already familiar with it.
You’ll go into the crank position release the key wait 10 minutes for that little security light down there down there to actually go out once that goes out your 10 minutes is up cycle the key off wait two seconds do it again go to crank position again 10 minute wait for the security light to go out you can do that process anywhere from 3 to 4 times service information says 3 sometimes.
It’s not really in programming mode so it might take 4 but that’s it and that’s what’s gonna get this thing back up and running again so this is more about the programming operation and watching the truck run but anyhow that’s it for you guys and apparently they must have unplugged but I’m looking now throughthe viewfinder.
They must have unplugged my battery maintainer out there alright then you go take care of that before this thing good does have a good day.

I recommend that you buy gm tech2 on Obd2tool.com. They are cheap, logistics is fast, and after-sales service is also very good. I have been using it for a year and there is no problem with the quality of the product.

DAS Xentry C3 C4 Diagnostic Software, Resources, Wiki

Xentry DAS (Diagnostic Assistance System) is the complete diagnosis system that is used to troubleshoot Mercedes-Benz car problems and is the official Mercedes-Benz dealer star diagnostics software. It can configure, reprogram, initialization of new components, program, perform guided tests, read or erase fault codes in any of the systems including AirMatic, AirBag, SRS, EIS, Transmission, ETS, BAS,  and all of the control modules. DAS Xentry software requires the C3 Multiplexer Star or C4 SD Connect hardware. The c3 multiplexer is an earlier model that was replaced by the C4 SD Connect. To operate Xentry, you will need a laptop with a serial port RS232 to connect the Multiplexer and run the Xentry software. The online marked is flooded with pirated versions of Xentry Diagnostic scanner, so be careful and avoid those hacked versions. Online merchant which may not be authorized resellers, distribute the software and show you how to install Xentry as you can see on this guide.

1. Where to buy  Xentry C3 Multiplexer or C4 SD Connect?
The system was listed for sale and can be purchased from sellers on www.obd2tool.com.

Be wise when you purchase a Xentry DAX Multiplexer as there seems to be a lot of cloned versions on the market. Unfortunately, there isn’t a good way to know what is original or not. Buying DAS Xentry program Diagnostic Software for Mercedes Benz on Amazon at least adds an extra layer of protection in case there is an issue. We would not recommend buying from retailers that ship from China on eBay. Yes, you can return those units if there is a problem but you will have to pay return shipping and will not know if you are getting an original unit. We do not endorse any of these sellers and do not know if these are authentic versions.
To learn how to use Xentry software MB Star C3 or C4 DAS watch this video that was posed online by OBD2TOOL.
2. What is Developer Mode Extension for DAS.
Developer extension of the DAS for Mercedes-Benz vehicles allows in-depth configuration and programming of the control units. This option is typically enabled for the factory version of the scanner. It was meant for development and testing purposes of the onboard electronic systems. It will allow the user to change the configuration of the car. For example, you can change the ECU, program to use a different engine model, change the speed limit or torque settings and a lot more. Using Developer Mode without knowing exactly what you are doing can be dangerous.

In detail…
(Note that all solutions here are based on personal experience and you can have a try as you want, but no one will hold responsibilities of what will happen to your tool and car. Good luck!)
1.  XDOS Windows 10 Startkey not valid
I have strange problem with XDOS version on Win 10 x64: In ConfigAssist I can’t enter Xentry key – “StartKey not valid error”
I try to use standalone key center but see 0x8000704C7 error when I start it.
For Win10x64, it is one of the recommended system requirements by Mercedes. but maybe there is some obstacle(s) but a member wrote in this thread that he could handle it as well.
Xentry xdos: xentry diagnosis for 12/24v using partd aka C3 (obsolete), sdconnect aka C4, ecom, xentry connect aka xentry kit 2, and bosch vci aka xentry kit 3
Xentry passthru EU or USA: xentry diagnosis using J2534 passthru devices e.g: mercedes passthru vci (12/24v), avdi, vas5054a (12v), drewtech MongoosePro (12/24v) and many other J2534 compatible devices.
2.  XDOS Windows 10 security settings
I have enough problems with w10 and security settings I just used w7 x86 ultimate went thru no problems did all my addones 1st took some time but , for some reason no taskbar icom for connection setup but can manually open .
if you install xentry passthru, it will not install sdconnect toolkit.
but if you install xentry xdos, the sdconnect toolkit will be installed.
you can set to ‘show’ in the taskbar tray at right bottom corner.
3.  No Windows 7 VMware on Windows 10
Are you booting into a Win7 VM or some sort of Win7 image on your Win10 laptop?
No VMware no win 7 image. It working on Windows 10 64bit professional. The same Ad-hoc like on Win 7. WEP is not problem. You have to manually set new connection with name Road24h/WEP/key uncheck automatic connection or something like this /I forgot/ then use solution which posted Mr.Rocinante and allow Ad-hoc thats all. This working for me. You can see on picture in my post how is connected SDConnect. I tested it on 3 cars and no problem with Ad-hoc. I reinstall full system now because I found one larger hdd
4.  Windows 10 Ad-Hoc Fix
On win 10 will be hard as hosted networks on win 10 not accept wep anymore
This is how I fixed the Win10 Ad-Hoc, wireless SDconnect C4 connection issue.
I downloaded the Win 8.1 wireless adapter drivers for my specific wireless card.
Download ONLY the drivers, not the software suite with the driver.
The Win 8.1 drivers will allow Ad-Hoc to function under Win 10.
I deleted/uninstalled my wireless adapter card to remove all current drivers associated with this wireless adapter.
I double clicked the .exe driver file for Win 8.1. The software found my wireless adapter and installed the Win 8.1 drivers.
Rebooted system, Ad-Hoc functions properly now.
Hope this works for others using Win 10.
5.  Ad-Hoc connection on Windows 10
There seems a problem between Ad-hoc and win 10?
This solution working but also need to be allowed Ad-hoc.
On the pictures you can see adhoc connection on win 10. You need settings from thread “sdconnect xdos configuration” you need set up new connection Road24h with wep encryption and allow adhoc that’s all.



1.  Sdconnect C4 Wifi connection on Window 10
Can somebody help me with wifi connection C4 and win 10
It worked for me
To save an ad-hoc network and its network key on the guest computer (running Windows 7)
Note down the SSID, security type, encryption type and the key of the ad-hoc network.
Disconnect your connection to any wireless network and switch off/disable your wireless device. Turn on/enable your wireless device but don’t connect to any network. (Thanks GK.)
Click on the network icon in the taskbar.
Click Open Network and Sharing Center > Manage Wireless Networks > Add.
Click “Manually create a network profile”. (This may look silly but we really are going to create an infrastructure network now.)
Enter the network name (SSID), security type, encryption type (if any) and the key that you noted in step 1.
Uncheck both checkboxes (“Start this connection automatically” and “Connect even if the network is not broadcasting”.) [Note that you cannot have the connection start automatically. If you try to have it checked, step 10 will fail. A different way to start it automatically during system boot is described below.]
Click Next > Close. Your connection must appear in the list with the icon suggesting infrastructure (two big screens connected to a tube). Don’t worry about it.
Click Start, type in “cmd” in the search box, press Enter.
In the Command Prompt, type in “netsh wlan set profileparameter name=NetworkName ConnectionType=IBSS”, exactly as shown, without quotes, except you must substitute NetworkName with the SSID (network name) of your ad-hoc network.
If everything went well, you’ll see that the icon has now changed to an ad-hoc icon (three small screens connected to each other) in the Manage Wireless Networks window.
Turn on/enable your wireless device, and try connecting to the Ad-hoc network. You will notice that you no longer need to enter the network key.
To automatically connect to a saved ad-hoc network during Windows boot (can be applied to both guest and host computers running Windows 7)
Click Start > point to All Programs > right-click Startup > click Open. (You may choose Open All Users instead if you prefer).
Right-click an empty space and click New > Shortcut.
Type in “netsh wlan connect NetworkName”. Once again, NetworkName must be substituted with the SSID of your ad-hoc network.
Click Next and enter a fancy name such as “Connect to NetworkName” or something like that.
Click Finish and you’re done. This shortcut will run when Windows starts up, giving you a very brief flash of the black command window, followed by your computer connecting to the ad-hoc network if it is available. Tip: You can also pin the shortcut in your taskbar or copy it to the desktop to easily connect to the network any time you want.
Note: You will probably need Administrator access to complete some of the steps above (in both procedures).
