W213 Facelift (2022+) and Xentry DOIP Connectivity: A Growing Challenge

There’s a recurring concern among users regarding Xentry diagnostic connectivity with the latest Mercedes-Benz W213 E-Class facelift models, specifically those produced after 2022. It seems these newer vehicles might be blocking or significantly restricting DoIP (Diagnostics over Internet Protocol) communication.

The Problem:

A user, utilizing XPT version 03.2025 and a GODIAG GT109 ENET/DOIP cable, has reported persistent failures to establish a connection with a 2023 W213. Despite attempting various IP addresses, ports, and disabling firewalls, the diagnostic tool sends data but receives nothing in return.

Key Observations:

  • Successful Connection with W206: The identical XPT setup and configuration successfully connect and function perfectly with a 2022 C-Class (W206). This suggests the issue is specific to the W213 facelift model, not the diagnostic tools or software.
  • Data Transmission, No Reception: Network data analysis shows kilobytes of data being sent from the diagnostic tool but zero data being received from the W213, indicating a blockage on the vehicle’s side.

The user is seeking confirmation from the community:

  • Can anyone verify that 2022 and newer W213 E-Class models do not support standard Xentry DoIP connectivity?
  • Has anyone successfully used XPT over DoIP to diagnose 2022 and newer E-Class models? If so, what specific Xentry software version and hardware interface were used?

Partial Breakthrough: Openport 2.0 and Tactrix Adapter

In a subsequent attempt, the user found a partial solution by switching to an Openport 2.0 with a Tactrix adapter. This setup allowed for a connection and a brief test, confirming that MBUX 2022+ W213 models are indeed not compatible with ENET/DoIP as previously expected.

Lingering Issues:

While the Openport 2.0 offers some connectivity, it’s not a perfect solution. The connection frequently drops seemingly at random, independent of battery voltage levels. This instability might be linked to the XPT version 06.2024 that was installed previously.
