Xentry or das for offline scn coding

[StevoAmigo1]

Hi guys I have a 2016 vito, I've just fitted a brand new steering control module from mercedes and they said it had the same product code as the original and would be plug and play with no programming, however since fitting it, my airbag light is flashing, using xentry it says the the airbag needs to be scn coded to the new unit but unable to do this with my version of xentry, can someone tell me which version of xentry or das I would need to be able to scn code the airbag in? I've heard I'd need sdflash but but haven't a clue where to get these files from? Thanks in advance

SCN can't be offline - that's the whole game - settings you don't know of are everywhere, does it impact the vehicle safety, maybe, some just cause it to drive slightly less well, maybe throw a nag, cause faults later on, or just randomly play about and generally make the car behave less well - YES to all

maybe you can try and play if you have the dealer kit or serious third party tools, and get along just enough to cope by guessing at set up - so it starts and most of the external lights come on - so you try an "expert" with experience to help code it manually - but some fake errors and warning lights are in elements they will never know of, can never know of, and can't be accessed manually even with fully up to date dealer kit... SCN ONLINE gets it set to today's interpretation of perfection - adding whatever lies the manu think this weeks repaired cars should have

and just in case a plug and play rip off priced replacement module you got from a dealer gets you a drivable vehicle - you often get to the place you are - stuck with it not quite right - till you go to a dealer with online kit - and what does he really do - flash the module with a version of software - that you will NEVER have access to, that you are NEVER meant to know why its the right file for your vehicle, that might literally have been AMENDED the day before - as all the cars flashed with the previous ones for the last two years were still playing up till last week, and that is tied down in a mess of ENCRYPTED security from hell, so it CAN'T install without an online handshake, that then reports back to germany if it went on the car OK - and if so by whom, when, why and where it was installed - then the tech ticks an OK button and goes to make the tea - whilst germany's computers flash through TODAY'S interpretation of how to configure this slightly different version of software ONLINE - coz no way in hell was this tech's training ever going to get the car across the line


and YES every single bit of the paragraph above is 100% - battled through every second of it too frequently and can give the print outs to prove it ALL - there are MANY settings in Merc software that are just NOT accessible regardless of toyland XENTRY on or offline, or indeed big boy vediamo or dts monaco - much of it is part of the software code - with nothing playable even with a super expert playing in those manufacturer genuine engineering development tools

Seems euro 3 is when the boardroom meeting took place. One can almost draw a line from then to a most deffinate
dtf. It was non existantent w208, w168, started on r230 and is 100% built in on wdc166.
Once new House substanciently complete I will be looking old replacement and be prepared to pay a premium for decent rot free motor
