Xentry Developer V1.1.0
While standard DAS provides guided troubleshooting, the Developer mode in v1.1.0 exposes hidden actuator tests and routines. You can force relays, override safety interlocks, and test components outside of the vehicle’s normal operating state—invaluable for diagnosing intermittent electrical faults.

Step 1: Prepare the Base Xentry System Version 1.1.0 is often distributed as a patched version of Xentry 09.2021 or similar. Install the base Xentry software first, but do not run the update routine.
Step 2: Apply the Developer Patch
The developer patch replaces critical .dll files and configuration XMLs. This unlocks the "Development" tab in the DAS menu. Copy the patched XentryLauncher.exe and DASDeveloper.dll into the installation directory. xentry developer v1.1.0
Step 3: Disable Automatic Updates
Navigate to the C:\Program Files\Mercedes-Benz\ folder and rename the XentryUpdate folder. If v1.1.0 phones home, it will brick the developer functionality.
Step 4: Configure the VCI
Connect your SD Connect C4 via Ethernet (WiFi is unstable for flashing). Set a static IP address in the range of 192.168.1.10 to 192.168.1.20. Open the C4 configuration tool and set the mode to "VCI Developer Mode."
Step 5: First Launch Run Xentry as Administrator. Select "Developer Mode" from the startup menu. Perform a quick vehicle diagnosis to verify communication. If the developer menu appears greyed out, your VCI firmware needs repatching. | Feature | Standard Xentry | Xentry Developer v1
