SM2 Pro vs VXDIAG VCX SE vs VAS5054A for Xentry Passthru

VXDIAG VCX SE, Scanmatik 2 Pro and VAS 5054a all tested working with the Mercedes Benz Xentry Passthru version.

How is the communication speed? Which is better?

One of the customers has tested all these passthru devices.

“I conducted a test in Passthru mode (XPT 12.2023) on a table (without a car, just supplied +12 volts) with the same VIN number.

 

The test included

VAS 5054A – test time 7 minutes 16 seconds.

Scanmatik 2 Pro – test time 5 minutes 40 seconds.

VXDIAG VCX SE Benz – 3 minutes 7 seconds.

 

Beware that it requires a different Xentry installation. Passthrough does not work with older cars.   Xentry Openshell installation will not work with SM2 pro and VAS 5054A.

 

VCX SE communication speed is as it should be which is great.   You can also open another brand license.  There are additional fees for each vehicle model.

 

I have had a VCX SE for a while, using it with DTS 8 and 9, as well as Xentry PassThru and OpenShell (separate installs). It works really well and is fast. If you switch between PassThru and OpenShell, you need to switch the interface of the device (in the supplied VCX Manager), but other than that, it’s been flawless on my end. I suggest just using it with the wired USB connection, if possible. “
