Mercedes-Benz diagnostic software, Xentry/Vediamo, is essential for in-depth vehicle diagnostics and coding. This guide provides a step-by-step process for setting up offline coding using Xentry Vediamo Download.
Setting Up Vediamo for Offline Coding
Offline coding with Vediamo requires specific files from your Xentry installation. Here’s a detailed guide:
Locating and Copying CBF and SMR-D Files
CBF Files:
- Navigate to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mercedes-Benz\DAS\comdat\Transp\cbf - Copy all CBF files from this directory.
SMR-D Files (Location depends on Xentry version):
- Older Xentry Versions:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mercedes-Benz\Xentry\Kontexte\ODXProjekte\VAN_COMMON - Newer Xentry Versions:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mercedes-Benz\Xentry\MB_VAN\SMRX - Copy all SMR-D files from the appropriate directory.
Creating the Vediamo Database
- Go to:
C:\ProgramData\Vediamo\VediamoData - Create two new folders within the “VediamoData” directory: one for CBF files and one for SMR-D files.
- Paste the copied CBF files into the designated CBF folder.
- Paste the copied SMR-D files into the designated SMR-D folder. Ensure you do not move or delete the original CBF and SMR-D files from their source folders. This process only copies them for Vediamo’s use.
Launching and Using Vediamo
- Run the Vediamo application.
- Accept the terms and conditions.
Connecting to Your Vehicle
Once Vediamo is running, it should detect your SDConnect (or compatible interface) and display its serial number. This confirms successful communication between your computer and the diagnostic interface.
Selecting Coding Files
- For coding with SMR-D files: Choose
MVCI/smrx. - For coding with CBF files: Choose
CAESAR.
Initiating the Coding Process
- Click on
Ecoute. This starts the process of listening for communication from the vehicle’s control units. - Select the specific control module you intend to code.
- Choose the corresponding CBF or SMR-D file for that module.
Additional Resources and Support
Successfully using Vediamo for coding often requires further knowledge. Exploring online resources, such as YouTube tutorials on Vediamo coding, can be highly beneficial.
Remember, incorrect coding can potentially damage vehicle systems. Proceed with caution and consult expert advice if needed.
