How to tell it’s a REAL Xentry Connect C5, not FAKE

Real and fake Xentry Connect have the same look. So, how to know if your Xentry SD Connect C5 is real or not?
Real Mercedes BENZ C5 should have good design & quality. Look here:
21-1
21-2 21-3 21-4 21-5
It’s 1:1 clone of the original from the French ACTIA Company
This board is verified to work no issues
21-6 21-7 21-8 21-9
Fake Xentry Connect C5 has boards inside, the same as SD connect c4. Have a look at this:
21-10 21-11 21-12 21-13
the fake mb star c5 has nothing update
it is another Mercedes Star Diagnostic Tool SD C4 with a different look only
fake C5 adopts the same design in appearance as the genuine from French ACTIA Company
same sw, some PCB, same result as SDconnect
Only with Real SDconnect C5, you have opportunity to:
1 diagnose newest hybrid W222
2 do DoIP diagnosis coz it has an Ethernet switch, which switches the TCP/IP messages
3 get what you pay for coz you’ll have the best experience of MB diagnostic that there is a qualitative improvement in C5 hardware and software help diagnostic efficiency esp. speed and stability
The last – there are many MB STAR C5 versions, some genuine & some copy, some HQ clone & some crappy. You can check information here: http://www.obd2tool.com/goods-5186-MB+Star+C5+With+Vediamo+V050006+Engineering+Software+Plus+EVG7+Tablet+PC.html (if the C5 is like this, you may have the luck to have a real one) www.obd2tool.com is a good man of his word to trust in.

Good luck!

How to Solve VW Amarok Caddy 2018+ Remote Not Working After Programming

Here comes the general problem of VW Amarok Caddy etc. 2018+ UDS protocol vehicles: 2019 VW Caddy. I spent a few hours programming the Xhorse key using VVDI2 . Also tried TDB1000. Remote function could not be obtained. Every time the programming failed, the original remote stopped working until I scanned and cleared errors. I expected it to work when the transponder was added (Megamos AES). I can’t access remote learning with any of my tools, nor did vvdi2 let me program the remote. I was wondering if anyone could confirm remote learning with transponders or how to learn it if not. Solution: It is not possible for BH remote controls after 2018 at the latest. You will not get any communication with the central locking remote control customization. You need a dealer key 100% and then learn from ODIS. There is no after-market solution, VAG blocked the remote channel on UDS vehicles 2018+. Had the exact same issues with new caddies. So merchant key and Odis ATM since the c...
