Xentry software inventory

Most owners of W124 vehicles will primarily run the Xentry software (which automatically transfers over to HHT-Win when a 38-pin connector is sensed), the WIS-ASRA, EPC, StarFinder, and perhaps MediaDb software.

Owners of newer cars (210 and up, particularly model year 2000 and newer) will likely use the same as above, except will use Xentry or DAS depending on your car’s model year. HHT will not be invoked for cars after model year 1999.
