Xentry Advanced Tool
: This scans all installed control units. Results are color-coded: Green Check : No faults detected. Lowercase 'f'
The software requires a Vehicle Communication Interface (VCI) to connect the computer to the car’s OBD2 port.
Adjusting or removing the factory speed limiter.
The Xentry Advanced Tool is an specialized, elite software extension and modification suite built around the official Mercedes-Benz Xentry Diagnosis ecosystem. While standard Xentry software allows technicians to read codes and perform basic adaptations, the "Advanced Tool" unlocks deep-level administrative access, engineering modes, and offline coding capabilities that are typically locked behind strict factory firewalls.

When adding aftermarket options or upgrading factory hardware (such as installing a newer MBUX infotainment screen, ambient lighting kits, or digital instrument clusters), the vehicle’s central gateway must be informed. Xentry Advanced Tool allows users to alter the variant coding of individual Electronic Control Units (ECUs) to accept new hardware combinations without needing an official online connection to Mercedes servers. 2.

The Xentry Advanced Tool boasts an impressive array of features that make it an essential tool for any Mercedes-Benz technician. Some of the key benefits include: : This scans all installed control units
The hardware is a compact black box (about the size of a smartphone) that plugs into the vehicle’s OBD-II port. It works exclusively with the running on a Windows laptop or Mercedes’ own tablet.
Read and clear active and stored diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) with detailed descriptions, allowing for rapid identification of issues.
Enables the use of used modules through VIN reprogramming, avoiding expensive new parts, and eliminates dependency on online dealer coding fees. Adjusting or removing the factory speed limiter
The Xentry Advanced Tool is a software-based diagnostic tool developed by Mercedes-Benz, designed to work in conjunction with their proprietary diagnostic equipment, such as the Snap-on Solus Edge and the Autel MaxiSys. This advanced tool provides technicians with a comprehensive platform to diagnose and repair a wide range of issues in Mercedes-Benz vehicles, from simple maintenance tasks to complex electronic system faults.
The Xentry Advanced Tool is the evolution of Mercedes-Benz's diagnostic software, succeeding the previous Xentry DAS (Diagnosis Assistance System). While DAS was used for many years, Xentry represents a new generation that supports modern electronic vehicle architectures and provides a more intuitive, feature-rich interface.
Locksmiths and security professionals use the software to interact with the Drive Authorization System (DAS/FBS). It aids in reading security data, adapting used modules (like steering locks or transmission control units), and matching them to the vehicle's immobilizer chain. 4.
