What Is Xentry Simulation? Full Guide & Usage
Xentry Simulation is a powerful tool designed for Mercedes-Benz diagnostics—similar to Xentry OpenShell—but with one key advantage: you don’t need to connect to a vehicle or diagnostic device to use it. Whether you’re a beginner learning the system or an experienced technician testing features, this mode provides a complete virtual experience.
Let’s VCCarTool dive into what Xentry Simulation is, how it works, and why it’s useful for Mercedes-Benz technicians.
What Is Xentry Simulation Mode?
Xentry Simulation Mode allows you to run diagnostic functions on Mercedes-Benz vehicles without connecting to the car or a diagnostic interface. It simulates the entire diagnostic process, letting you perform tasks such as:
- Scanning vehicle systems
- Reading and clearing error codes
- Looking up wiring diagrams and spare parts
This mode is perfect for training, testing repair workflows, or learning how to use the software without any risk to real vehicles.
The interface screen of Xentry Simulation is still the same as Xentry Diagnostic
Key Features of Xentry Simulation
Simulates full diagnostics for all Mercedes-Benz, Maybach, Smart, and Fuso models
- Allows manual VIN entry for specific car models
Xentry Simulation supports many models and supports vehicle VIN import
- Displays all error codes from engine, lighting, safety systems, and more
- Guides users through error correction steps
- Includes circuit diagram lookup and spare parts locator
- Compatible with vehicles like A-Class, B-Class, C-Class, E-Class, S-Class, GLC, GLE, GLS, and more
Xentry Simulation Error Code Emulation
System Requirements
To run Xentry Simulation smoothly, your PC should meet the following:
- CPU: Intel Core i5 or higher
- RAM: At least 8GB
- Hard Drive: SSD with 100GB+ free space (HDD is supported but slower and less stable)
- Laptop Brands: Dell, HP, Lenovo, etc.
Tip: SSDs provide better performance and stability during long-term use.
