2018 and newer vehicles are given full diagnostic capabilities. You ideally use Xentry Pass-thru with these devices, and a subscription is available from Daimler, however it is limited to programming and reading faults from the engine ECU and transmission TCU up to 2017. Any vehicle using a 38-pin connector or HHTWIN for diagnosis will not work. Xentry Passthru with Openport 2.0 cables don’t work with KLine cars such as the C32. It has no K-Line support and no CAN-L, so no ISO 14230 for SIM4 LE ECUs, (M111Evo). The Openport is missing some protocols so it doesn’t get to a point where it could brick a module.For normal troubleshooting and diagnosis, though, it rocks. I used it to run all of the A/C diagnostics on my car, recalibrate the vent control thumbwheels, test a few actuators, run the intercooler pump, and check the weight sensing system (which needs to be recalibrated), The only thing I can’t do right now is SCN coding and programming, which requires an active M-B account.
