Xentry scanner help

I bought a xentry scanner and have no idea how to use it to its full potential. It’s easy enough to use, but to do what I want and currently need it to do is what I’m after I’ve looked online for videos but the ones that are in English are only telling me how to do the basics. The ones that show you how to do in depth scanning and testing are in broken English or subtitled.
Does someone have access to or know of a comprehensive guide to using the system? As far as I can see I’ve bought an expensive scanner that can roll down the windows and pop the trunk. I’m not an advanced mechanic but I can figure most things out, but this is getting frustrating.
I currently need to diagnose the TCU on my 06 w211. It won’t move, but it’s doesn’t have any transmission codes showing.

Result






It almost seems as though this is a CAN bus problem, as there aren’t any codes that correlate to the vehicle not moving
