YTMercedes  C3/C4/C5/eCom
Hi

While i'm completely newbie to MB diagnostics i'm in need to take care of small MB fleet.
Could anyone please explain in few words what should i get to have comprehensive MB support in my workshop in terms of diagnostics ?

I assume C3/C4 are some heads/multiplexers which are working with DAS or Xentry diagnostic software? Why there are DAS and Xentry ?
What is eCom then (i know it's hardware...) ?

Tnx

Software
HHTWin / DAS Works on cars upto 2001~3 (but it's not fully capable because it's base on module some are newer some are older)
DAS / Xentry works on 1998~UP (but it's not fully capable because it's base on module some are newer some are older)
Hardware
C3 Bulky Old popular, Sold to anyone but nolonger available, wires for connections are different then C4-C5
C4 Wireless capabilities Sold to anyone but nolonger available
C5 Completely wireless ONLY LEASED on USA Markets, been design with newer OS's in-mind(win7 8 10 etc..)
I want to buy C5 (ORIGINAL) but everytime i remind myself that i do not want to deal with theft recovery and i stick to C3/4

Before i read A MYTH(s) about C3/4 that C3 is much slower and soooo much other BS, until i tested Fake C3/4 original C3/4 on same cars just to provide to my self the truth of what i heard and read and all are JUST COMPLETE BS by people that DO NOT EVEN KNOW HOW TO READ OR WRITE
Just because somebody is still on IBM Laptops that are produced in 2001~6 does not mean it can not work on SSD i3/5/7/OR OR OR.....

If any of my posts or current one helps then don't forget to press thanks and add a reputation thankyou

RE: C3/C4/C5/eCom
Thanks a lot.
Assuming rice clones, i should get C5 (http://www.aliexpress.com/item/MB-SD-Con...eb201560_5) ?

Could anyone add what's eCom ?

And what model of tablet/laptop is that nice Xentry Tab tagged Panasonic ? (http://www.obdtool.co.uk/wholesale/merce...nz-c5.html)

And what Vediamo is ?

Be careful, not head Xentry Connect c5 Clone.

Read the headline of an article for sale.

It is a SDconnect inside with housing C5 devildevil

It is false.yikes
It is best to ask for pictures of the motherboard and the casings inside to see.

RE: C3/C4/C5/eCom
That C5 is a fake one. Actually it's a C4 in a so called "C5" box.
Don't bother about eCom because you'll not need that and also very expensive compared to clones.
Vediamo is another software for Mercedes, out of DAS, Xentry, XDOS, Monaco.... smile
Honestly, there are too many to be said and doing this by yourself without the basic info about this system will be a nightmare for you.
If you like to be up and running search forum for paid solutions and let experts do the hardest part for you.
There are guys who are selling full pack (hardware and software).
Don't jump on first Chinese site and buy what you think is good. You'll end with a horrible hardware and software with dongles which all they will become your biggest nightmare ever.

RE: C3/C4/C5/eCom
Well that`s the reason of this thread - to know what to get and what not to get smile Before i get know basic knowledge i don't think buying anything makes sense.
I linked up rice page just for clarification purpose, usually i get OE tools as long as they are available and price doesn't seem to be ridicolous.

So what is eCom ? What are the differences/purpose of all these (xdos,xentry,vediamo) software floating here ?

RE: C3/C4/C5/eCom
Here is add-on information

SDconnect C4 supports Wireless Diagnosis
SDconnect C4 supports not only KL diagnosis and three lines CAN BUS diagnosis, but also UDS diagnostic protocol. Because the board of Mb star Compact 3 doesn’t contain UDS protocol chip, the hardware will be eliminated directly.
SDconnect C4 can do wireless diagnosis. Besides, it uses LAN cable connection. So it can support more computer model.
Interface components used the military quickly inserted techniques that can support one million times plug, more stable.
All of the core components adopt new original packaged chip, plus 24 hours fatigue test, to ensure product stable release
