![]() In my case, there were two: (WIS) E:\programme\SDflash and a virtual drive, K:\SDflash. ![]() ![]() This may be located in a drive partition. First, you need a SDflash folder that DAS can read. I tried a bunch of "stuff" and don't know exactly what made a difference. Next, when you get to the decision screen of offline vs online and choose offline, unless you're damned lucky, you'll probably get errors about VeDok or other mysterious missing "stuff". (If you're still reading, this may be good time to stop and come back to "5" when you are able to get to this DAS screen after changing your Flashen folder.):ĥ. replace the folder you have with one that allows offine programming), instead of "Xentry Flash access required" on the screen above, you'll get to a screen that allows "off-line programming". Anyway, the “Flashen” folder is out there on the net, so I'll leave it to you to find a copy of "Flashen" or reprogram it yourself?ĭ. The "Flashen" folder is just programming so, one would assume, you can modify it. And, you need to know how to use Windows ‘File’ Explorer, cut and paste, etc., etc.) The “Flashen” folder holds the files that allow offline programming.Ĭ. (Your hard drive may have a different drive letter. Specifically: (DAS) F:\programme\das\trees\pkw\Flashen. Without going into too much detail, you need to modify the files that your Xentry hard drive came with. ![]() Also, I don't know exactly which Xentry systems are in favor today but, from the discussions on the forum, it seems many owners have the old Dell/XP setup… IMHO, XP is a stable and reliable OS, so, if it ain't broke don't fix it. I didn’t need the back-up hard drive, but it’s good insurance. (SIDEBAR: Tip, get another hard drive of the same type as the one your Xentry/Das software came on and clone your working hard drive, test the clone and set it aside, in case you FUBAR the good, working drive. You need to figure out how to change your DAS to do "off-line programming". Now, at this point, like me, you'll find out you have to "start all over again":Ī. 25USD to join and, like me, you'll probably find the download you are looking for is no longer available.Ĥ. If you start searching for stuff like that, Telematics CD, you are probably going to find yourself in the weird world of *******.com. It's not an iso file, BTW, it's just a CD data disc, as we will see…)ģ. I cancelled the order and looked to see if I could just download the. Dealer emailed me back that the CD-ROM has to come from Germany. I was thinking I might could use Developer Data to load it. (SIDEBAR: For Telematics, I ordered the CD from a dealer, part # A221-827-06-65-26. Once you get familiar with Xentry, you'll find that SCN coding (updating software programming, as opposed to just "coding", which DAS will do.) is not normally available in DAS- it requires access to MB's online data base.Į.g., when trying to program, or ‘update', Telematics/COMAND (control units> communications>telematics> adaptions> programming- or, something like that path), you'll get to this screen: As many have said, having DAS is a "Must" to do most work on the W221 and will pay for itself the first time you need it.Ģ. Version 09/2014 running on Windows XP with a Dell D630 laptop- don't ask me why but, the DIY version of DAS seems to work best on that old Dell. You need, or will need to get, Star/Xentry/Das. So, let's start from scratch on updating Telematics:ġ. Let’s just say, at that point, it become a "challenge" and I decided to tackle it. Now, back to the subject at hand… I ran out of options after searching 'Telematics Update' on this forum and was asking about updating at the end of this very old post: Others on the forum have said, if you don’t have “Bird’s-eye View” or “Video” on the Comand screen, you don’t have the Telematics update… But, you’ll know when you try to install the last NAVI update version.) And, the Telematics update must be done to make the last NAVI version work correctly. All I can add is this: I was surprised to find that almost none of my car’s systems had been updated even with previous dealer service. (SIDEBAR: I’ve seen some other posts about the Pro’s and Con's of updating programming. Unfortunately, that's not a DIY, like updating NAVI. The "fix" seemed to be updating Telematics. And, plenty of complaints about the newer versions freezing on "Loading Navigation" after a successful install. Plenty of info on this forum on how to install. My NAVI was out of date, so I bought the NAVI V13 DVD on Ebay and, when it didn’t work right, I got a V15 (2016 version), the last available for the USA, and, it didn’t work right either. This endeavor started innocently enough… Bored with staying home, I tried to update the NAVI on my 221.176 (2007 S600).
