Problem:
I have a problem with the navigation system in my Mercedes-Benz CLA Shooting Brake X117. I recently replaced the faulty head unit and then restored the original settings via VXDIAG VCX SE Benz DTS Monaco software. However, the navigation still does not work.
A message appears on the screen stating that the Garmin MAP PILOT SD card has been used on another vehicle. My vehicle’s VIN is displayed on the screen, but for some reason the system does not recognize it. Is there any way to change the VIN in the head unit with Xentry or DTS monaco to match my car’s VIN?
Solution:
It is impossible to change VIN using Vediamo, DTS Monaco, and Xentry. It is a security issue. And the dealer does not work with other units, only new ones. These programs can change the configuration, and not all. SLA and lane control are welcome, but the steering wheel heating is no longer there. You need to erase the VIN in the heating unit. In fact, break it. This can be done with VVDI, or by directly reading and correcting EEPRPOM.
You need a different level of equipment, for example VVDI. You need to reset EEPRPOM, and the car code will be automatic. Option 2 – unsolder EEPRPOM, and reset with a programmer such as EZP2019
Programs can put the unit into operation, remove and record adaptations, read and explain errors. But, when putting into operation the unit must be Virgin or Renew.
