Problem:
VXDIAG VCX SE Benz and 2023.09 Xentry did not communicate with a MY200 Mercedes W210. Any idea?
Solution:
This is an old model with 38-pin round adapter.
VXDIAG Benz scanner can only do 16-PIN standard models. It does not work on older k-line models.
Use C4/C5 device instead.
Im happy with my product. I purchased the DIAG VCX-NANO for (Nissan) specifically for my 2016 Infiniti QX80. I was able to run an idle volume relearn procedure executed very smoothly and now it idles exactly where it should be. Also replaced ride height sensor and the air compressor myself. Without the VCX nano and consult 3+ I would not have been able to run and execute the procedures to clear, adjust, and set standardride height with a little common sense a little guidance and it’s nice to have and if you have the money, buy a cheap refurbished laptop, dedicated to consult 3 plus
As a repair shop owner, I‘ve always been super picky when it comes to diagnostic tools. I’ve used Autel and Launch T420 before, but the VXDIAG VCX SE DoIP really blew me away! This thing supports an insane number of vehicle brands : Benz, BMW, GM, Ford, Toyota, Honda, Subaru, VW, Volvo, JLR (both SDD and DoIP), Porsche, Mazda, Nissan, Renault, PSA - basically every car we regularly see in the shop.
I bought the VXDIAG VCX SE BENZ and it's been rock solid! Especially with Xentry/DAS, it diagnoses Benz models from 2005 all the way to 2025 with ease. It handles DoIP on W222 and W223 perfectly. I used to struggle with SD C4 failing to connect to newer models, but VXDIAG nailed it.
The device is compact and super responsive over USB. Software installation was easy, and customer support sent detailed install guides and software links.
When I needed the software, I just contacted support - they replied quickly with everything I needed. I definitely made the right choice.
