Vediamo Tutorial - NTG 4.5 Enable MP3 Copy to Register in US cars
It seems Vediamo help is not widely available but after the SCN lockdown in Xentry it has become more necessary, after spending quite a bit of time and a bit of money to learn the ins and outs I thought I'd share as a starting point for others.
This version depicted here is 4.02.02 as I have a C3 and this is the latest version that works with C3.
This tutorial will show how to enable MP3 copy function on NTG 4.5 Music Register that was disabled on US cars.
With vediamo if you are not sure what you are doing STOP, ASK and MAKE SURE before proceeding as you can brick control units and that is expensive.
After you have vediamo installed, licensed and properly configured (I will post about C3 configuration separetly):
1. Open "Vediamo Start Center"
You should see your HW ID in the vediamo server section (Also if you open the information pop-up you should see license available)
2. Open "Ecoute" (The red simulation label is normal)
6. After connection is established select the variant coding icon: (The icon is grey in this image because I had already disconnected, it should not be grey for you)
7. Finally locate the parameter, select VCD_HU_Parameter from the services drop-down and then the Musicserver function. Select the "copy" value and click the "ECU-Coding" box:

Nice write up! What else have you tried? I bough the C5 and it came with vediamo pre-installed on the toughbook but I haven't tried connecting it to the car yet. I was wondering if there's a way to copy all the individual module coding/software to have as a backup in case something goes bad.
I've fined tuned a few other things and also retrofitted the automatic AC, what you can do is basically what you could do with DAS developer.
You can read out the configuration of your modules and save it in case a module later needs replacement and is completely dead.
That's exactly what I was thinking of doing. How do you do it though? Once the C5 is connected to the car and Vediamo is started, do I just click on the connect to vehicle icon and it detects all the modules or do I have to search for each individual module (first find out what kind my specific vehicle has installed) and then connect to it and somehow read and copy it's programming?
I haven't had the opportunity to get into DAS developer. There's some sort of developer mode on the new Xentry but it requires a password to log in. Seems to be a local/offline thing but I don't know that password.
From what I've been seeing with my tool, Xentry is very limited in what it can do, mostly reading out fault codes and a few adaptations. Initialisation of new control units, even if your old one is still running has the be done online with SCN coding or logging in to the daimler website.
Vediamo seems like a good way around this if you know what you're doing. Looking around the SdFlash folder I found a huge database of cff files so between those and the ones in the Vediamo project folder (cbf files) I should be covered in case any of my modules decide to bite the dust.
I'd still like to know how to backup my own files though .

I had a 09 s63 I had a accident and destroyed the oem and got a 2010 headlights and I was wondering if can give me a hand or a hint how to code the "new ones"Just in case you use that type

What features do the lights have and what features is your car coded for?
