I've been using the VXDIAG SE FOR BENZ for a while now, mainly for Xentry diagnostics, and overall, it has been a great experience. Here's my detailed feedback:
Xentry Compatibility:
I'm using Xentry 09.2024, and everything runs smoothly. All functions work as expected, including automatic ignition status detection and voltage reading. It is very stable, and it works like the older C4 device.
Wireless Connectivity:
The Wi-Fi connection on this device is spot on. It works exactly as advertised, allowing wireless diagnostics without the hassle of cables. This feature is a huge convenience, especially when working in tight spaces or on the go.
Passthru Compatibility:
I have not specifically tested the Passthru functionality, but it comes with a Passthru license, so in theory, it should work with other software like ODIS. I have seen other users report success with wireless connections, and the device also supports adding licenses for other brands. I plan to get the VW license soon to make things even simpler.
Firmware Updates:
VXDIAG SE gets regular firmware updates through Allscanner software, and the process is really easy. You do not need to connect it to a car to update-just plug it into a USB port, and you're good to go. Very convenient.
Xentry Driver Issues:
One thing to note is that Allscanner has to release a new driver for every new version of Xentry. So, when a new version of Xentry comes out, you might need to wait for the driver update to be available. The software detects the version of Xentry you are using and loads the correct driver, which is nice, but you will have to wait for the update after a new release. So far, I have not had any major issues, and my Xentry 09.2024 works perfectly.
Customer Service:
I also want to mention that buying directly from the official website is a smart move. The customer service is top-notch..very professional and quick to respond, which is always a plus when dealing with technical tools.
