How to test old Benz car before 1996 year with MB SD C4 C5 Star

V2017.12 MB SD C4/C5 Star Diagnosis Plus Panasonic CF52 Laptop With Vediamo and DTS Engineering Software Support Offline

Many customers contacted:

Why can’t MB SD C4 C5 test the old Benz car?Especially the old Mercedes Benz using the 38PIN diagnostic joint before 1996.

We checked and found that customers used the xentry software in MB STAR C4/C5 to test old Mercedes Benz cars.It is wrong.Because the old Mercedes Benz cars before 1996 can only be tested by HTT software which is in DAS.And sometimes we also make a shortcut on the desktop of the computer.

xentry software

  HTT software

For example,In V2017.09 software of the MB STAR C4 / C5, HHT is made as a shortcut on your desktop.

Just click on the HHT icon on your computer desktop to open the software and test your old Mercedes Benz car(before 1996).

If you use V2017.12 software,you can lick and open the DTS icon on your computer desktop.Then choose the old Benz car(before 1996) you want.HHT software will automatically pop up.
