What is Xentry Passthru:
XENTRY Pass Thru EU is Mercedes-Benz vehicle diagnosis solution for independent workshops. The software runs on any workshop PC and commercially available Pass Thru equipment.
Xentry Passthru is different from regular Xentry openshell. Xentry passthru does not use SDconnect toolkit. When you launch the program it will give you a dropdown where you can choose which J2534 device. If you are keen to do proper Xentry grade health scanning, but not coding say for START STOP be gone, but can do lots of TEST, go and get Xentry PassThru.
The right to repair in Europe and USA has made car manufacturers to abide by certain rules, where an Indy shop can access ( for an hourly fee ) manufacturers servers to do certain ( not all ) repairs where the data will come from manufacturers server.
So those Indy workshop or petrol head can use certified J2534 interface box for many brands of cars , not only MB.
It is for any owner attempting DIY to not have this level of diagnostic capability.

Xentry Passthru Review
the wealth of information and possible test Xentry PassThru can do will open your eyes to know about your car more.
testing xentry PT version on a Mercedes Benz E class W212
Health scanning 100% all modules read.
I can do airconditioning 7 way venting ( air distribution )…which I always wanted for the LEG + BODY
LEG + BODY air distribution possible now. BTW using AUTEL MS906BT I have disabled the stupid FRESH AIR FLAP WILL OPEN NO MATTER WHAT…AFTER 30 MINUTES. Now it remain closed.
Data gold-mine. Now we can know how and when a certain code made it to be a CEL/MIL and yada yada. No more guessing a 3rd party scanner interpretation of a DTC code actual meaning… we use the MB ones.
