Well Bob I will say this. I have read many posts by you helping others with many issues with these cars. And I believe you have helped many. But there is no reason to tail Peter on almost every post he makes. You wanted a Foxwell Sticky and you got it. If you have other information about a Das system post it on your own thread. There is no reason to jump on every thread with the same criticism. Peter is engaged in helping and running a business. There is no need for you to interfere with a person who has a 100 percent approval from his customers. Do you own thing but stay off his posts and everyone will be much happier. It really is that simple. Come on Man! LOL

I was working with Peter for almost a year and he helped me on many different issues. I will not give him my 100% approval, but will give him 1000% approval and appreciation not only for his bulletproof system, but for his service, availability and determination!

Negative, friend. The only thing I am interested in doing is calling things as they are. Was that screenshot from BenzWorld not you?

If you can't handle direct feedback without twisting and exaggerating things, then this conversation will not be productive.

It's in this forum's best interest that members be informed of all of their diagnostic options in a manner which is fair and accurate. By definition that includes mentioning free DAS software, Chinese software, and Foxwell NT510 Elite.
Offering alternatives and touting Foxwell units is perfectly fine, especially in threads when the OP is asking for feedback on a system.

Track record, however, is everything. Notice a trend among these happy customers, in that many of them are coming from other setups? The unfortunate reality is that among this sea of alternatives, there is a lot of "junk" floating around.

Having direct experience with a couple of these setups, I would agree with the part in bold. Want a comparison video between my first setup (from a reputable source) and Peter's to see the difference in performance?

As for the second part, you are taking that too personally, IMHO. Like I said earlier, this topic is well-documented. Anyone who does a bit of research can quickly ID the alternatives and make an informed choice for themselves.

There's no villain here, Bob. Just a bunch of diagnostic systems and people excited about them.

This thread has been polluted quite a bit by this ongoing bickering. There is good information and member feedback here so please stay on topic only or we'll have to close the thread.
Thanks!

Cool

Sadly i was not able to get a complete help from Benz Ninja,i gave him my Whatsap number but he is said he is not able to reach me n how? i do not know..!!Apparently we first communicated on email and he perfectly explained everything to me until we came to a point where i needed his recommendations on where to buy proper tools from proper sellers of his choice.Mind you, i did not have any problem to pay him either a deposit or whatever he requested for this particular service.This days he is not responding me.Note,I only have proper access to network while i am at my work area and too bad the company policies do not allow for things like skype that he somewhat prefers.

Connecting a C4 MUX to 2015.7 C3 software

I have a HDD loaded with data version 2015.7 marked "C3 software".
Is there any way that I can use my SDconnect C4 multiplexer with this system?
My original 2015.12 version that I originally bought with the C4 is bricked with PEGuard.
Thanks for any suggestions.

JP.

set your LAN IP IP4 to 172.29.127.119 255.255.255.0
if that doesn't work, ask the Chinese or whoever build it what they messed around with
if it is a clean genuine Xentry, it must work
good luck

Thanks for your suggested fix, I will let you know if it works.
It seems that most of these Chinese HDDs have all sorts of problems but the original German MB system is out of my price range.

The IP address has now been changed for LAN and WiFi however there is no connection to the C4 MUX. The C4 screen reads "Device not in use".
I think the problem lies with the MUX names, the laptop shows 02 with a red cross whereas the C4 is named 21. With my bricked (locked) HDD there is a yellow padlock numbered 21 that matches the C4 MUX.
Is it possible to configure the laptop to read 21 and not 02?
Thanks,
JP

How to change this value?

names have nothing to do with this
the number is just a number you assign to a device, you can change it to any in config
I said LAN not WAN , so disable wifi
if it doesn't work you have a manipulated xentry so as this is not the right forum for this, you have 2 solutions
1 email a remote repair request on my website
2 ask this in hack'n crack forums

OK, and thanks for your suggestions.
I've only just bought this HDD and was anxious to get it up and running.
The seller tells me it is the Chinese new year holiday so his technician will not be able to do anything until next week.
Let's see if he can get it all working?
