Look at MB SD C4 PLUS Star Diagnosis (with Developer mode): If you have developer mode enabled, there will be a “Development data” option in the menu for the component working with: I recommend getting the Star software with ‘Developer Mode’ which allows removing speed limiters and other in depth features not available in the ‘standard’ Star software. That was funny.ĭeveloper mode definition: There is a lot you can change with developer mode in DAS vehicles.
I’ve even seen a 2000 E320 that had both 38-pin and OBD port - I could use either port to conduct a full diagnosis. Other MB made in early 2000 and sold as a 2000 model will have the OBD port and the SDS will require the OBD cable to diagnosis….and will use DAS.Īnd then there are orphan cars, like some SLK models - some 2000-2001 SLK require the 38-pin. The year 2000 is a weird transition period - some MB made in 1999 but the model year is 2000 will be diagnosed from the 38-pin under the hood and thus use HTT-win. In essence HHTWIN is a hi-tech version of our LED blink code readers. HHTWIN encompassed within the very latest Star system is more difficult to get grips with, so this is a trial sticky topic to address any issues encountered using the hhtwin system. Post 1996 OB2 models are fairly easy to read, however the early diagnostic system. SDS stands for STAR DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM which is the original tablet and multiplexer used at the dealer. Xentry software is used for all newer cars (204 166 212 213 222 and so on).ĭas is the system for older cars(203 211 164 221 171 208 and so on). You are getting all these systems confused?
