Does MB Star C6 support 2024 and 2025 models?
Yes. The C6 is the primary choice for newer chassis like the W223 (S-Class), W206 (C-Class), and the EQ electric series. Unlike older C4 units, the C6 supports the high-speed DoIP (Diagnostic over IP) protocol required for these vehicles.
Can MB Star C6 diagnose trucks and heavy-duty vehicles?
This depends on the specific hardware version. While some “Full” versions support 24V trucks, many compact CCI (VXDIAG-based) units are restricted to 12V passenger cars only.
Is the C6 better than the SD Connect C4?
The C6 is technically superior for modern cars due to DoIP support and faster data transfer. However, users often search for the C4 because it is more stable for older vehicles (pre-2010) and “legacy” systems like HHT-WIN, which some C6 clones struggle to run.
Is the ‘China Clone’ C6 real DoIP?
A major concern for buyers. Many low-cost C6 units are actually “C4 boards in a C6 shell.” Users frequently search for how to identify a “True DoIP” PCB with the correct network chipsets.
Does C6 work with DTS Monaco and Vediamo?
Yes, this is a top search for tuners.
DTS Monaco: Highly compatible with C6 for coding newer cars.
Vediamo: Users often ask why Vediamo 5.01.01 sometimes fails to “see” the C6 hardware (it often requires specific VCI drivers or a “PassThru” configuration).
Do I need an SSD or HDD?
Current searches suggest that a Pre-installed SSD is the gold standard, as manual installation of Xentry on Windows 10/11 is notoriously difficult and time-consuming.
