Who Is This Software For?

Xentry Passthru is suitable for automotive technicians and independent workshops that already own a compatible J2534 diagnostic interface and require professional Mercedes-Benz diagnostic capabilities.

It is especially useful for workshops that use PassThru hardware for multiple vehicle manufacturers and want to add Mercedes-Benz diagnostics without purchasing an SDconnect interface.

This software may be suitable for:

• Independent Mercedes-Benz repair workshops
• Automotive diagnostic specialists
• Professional technicians using J2534 hardware
• Workshops servicing multiple vehicle brands
• Users upgrading from an earlier Xentry Passthru release
• Technicians who need updated Mercedes-Benz diagnostic data

Main Diagnostic Features

Depending on the vehicle, diagnostic interface, account permissions, certificates, and online services available to the user, Xentry Passthru can provide access to professional diagnostic functions such as:

Control Unit Diagnosis
Identify installed control units and perform vehicle-specific diagnostic procedures.

Read and Clear Diagnostic Trouble Codes
Access manufacturer-specific fault codes and erase stored faults after completing the required repairs.

Xentry Passthru vs Xentry OpenShell

The most important difference between these two Xentry platforms is the diagnostic hardware they are designed to use.

Xentry Passthru is intended for compatible J2534 PassThru interfaces from various manufacturers.

Xentry OpenShell is designed primarily for Mercedes-Benz diagnostic interfaces such as SDconnect hardware.

Choose Xentry Passthru if you already own a compatible J2534 interface and want to use that hardware for supported Mercedes-Benz diagnostic operations.

Choose Xentry OpenShell when your diagnostic setup is based on compatible Mercedes-Benz SDconnect hardware.

Compatible Diagnostic Interfaces

Xentry Passthru requires a correctly installed and supported J2534 PassThru interface.

Depending on the interface driver, firmware, vehicle, communication protocol, and operating system configuration, compatible hardware may include:

• OpenPort 2.0
• Scanmatik 2 Pro
• VAS 6154
• Supported Autel J2534 interfaces
• Drew Technologies MongoosePro interfaces
• Other correctly implemented J2534 PassThru devices

Important: Compatibility and available diagnostic functions may vary between interfaces and vehicles.

A diagnostic interface is not included with this digital software product.

Generic ELM327 adapters and basic OBD2 code readers are not suitable replacements for a proper J2534 PassThru interface.

Vehicle Coverage
