Returning the MDI 2 for item SP163-C is not what I want. I purchased an MDI 2 because it’s supposed to be better than an MDI in multiple ways.
The MDI 2 is supposed to be able to power off the USB connection when not plugged into a vehicle.
It does work when plugged into a vehicle, but the GM MDI2 is supposed to be able to power up from a usb connection alone.
This blog says the original and clone share the same functions and only differ in price and operating system.

The WiFi in the MDI 2 (SP163-E) that I received seems to be built in instead of being a USB dongle, and so far I haven’t been able to set up the point to point WiFi communication the MDI 2 is also supposed to be capable of.

Here are some pictures showing the firmware update being done, and where there aren’t any USB A ports under the covers labeled as USB A

The unit looks good, however it seems to simply be an MDI made to look like and MDI 2.
When I plug it into a computer it will not power of the usb connection like and MDI 2 is supposed to, it does not have the USB A ports under the covers instead the is no opening under 1 and a power connector under the other like on the original MDI unit. I don’t see an SD card expansion slot like the MDI 2 is supposed to have either.

Once I was able to plug the unit in and get it powered up the GM MDI Manager software doesn’t recognize it as a MDI 2 but as a MDI. I could not connect to it until I updated the software, because it was 2 years old. Which not really a big deal because I was expecting the software to require and update to be the most current.

So my advice is: dont waste money on MDI2 knock-off. Just take a MDI instead if china clone

Here’s the detail guide on how to update software of Mercedes Benz DoIP Xentry Connect C5 MB Star diagnostic scanner.  DoIP C5 comes with both internal hard drive and external Dell HDD .

Note:

1.The upgrade procedure fits for DoIP Xentry Connect C5 but no SD Connect C5 (SD C4 in C5 case).

2.

If you have XDOS 2018.3 or  2017.9 not working well, you should update it to version 2018.7.

If you have XDOS 2018.5 works good, it’s not necessary to update to 2018.7.

3. If you feel complicated to update the firmware by yourself.  You can send both Doip C5 HDD and Dell HDD to us to run an upgrade.

How to update BMW ICOM NEXT firmware?

There are two optional ways for you: one is using ISTA-D, another is by MSI Installer and Web interface.

Option 1. Update BMW ICOM NEXT firmware via ISTA-D:

First, install ISTA-D software on your system so you can use it to install the firmware on your ICOM.

Next, start ISTA-D with ICOM connected to your car (Don’t need KL15, KL30 13.8V on pin 16 and ground on 4+5 is enough)

Then, go to connection manager and start the update.

How to get to the ISTA connection manager?

You can click on the button as following picture shows:

Option 2. Update BMW ICOM NEXT firmware via WIS Installer:

First, install the MSI installer

Next, find the system and application firmware file (.bin for ICOM A1/A2 and .tar.gz for ICOM NEXT) in your installed folder, System = ICOM Next-rootfs-XXXXXX. tar.gz, Application = ICOM Next-app-XXXXXX. tar.gz

Then, upgrade the ICOM firmware by web interface.

Note: For BMW ICOM NEXT firmware, the tarball is in C:\ProgramData\BMW\ISPI\data\TRIC\ICOMNext after you installed the MSI installer.

ICOM NEXT firmware 3.14.10 is tested on forum.

Here is feedback for your reference:

I test it this morning on a CIC of an E90 and an E60. And now also ICOM NEXT is flashing like HELL. So the bug of slow flashing CICR is gone with this upgrade. This I can confirm. THANK, it was long waiting but it was worth it.

Topic: VCM2 firmware and IDS software compatibility

It works perfectly using IDS 96.05 with firmware 2.1.119.3 from older IDS version. But even with changing the serial number, I have not been able to get it to connect to vehicle PCM with anything newer than that older firmware to use IDS 97 or 98 – Preferably 98.04 that came out today which still uses the 2.3.85.7 firmware.

IDS 97/98 don’t support that older firmware anymore so I can’t use it with the newer IDS versions. (Additionally, I changed the serial before updating to one that I know is legit (actually tried a couple different ones), it will update and install fine.) But if I update the firmware on the device to 2.3.85.7 to use IDS 97 or 98 it will update. It will show up in IDS as connected. When you actually go to use it, you can hear the relays click on as normal, but the unit will not establish a connection to the vehicles PCM to be able to use it.

Searched a lot…

And here, post what I did differently so others can benefit from my discoveries

1- Boot in recovery mode, reflash ford v86 (2.1.1.5 if my memory is right?)
2- use the test mode hack and access the web interface. change serial number to a good one.
3- reboot in recovery, reflash (still in v86) to make the serial change persistent.
4- now I have a working Ford VCM2 with a good serial that can work in v98. but before upgrading, let’s put a hacked recovery firmware in it. re-enter test mode via test mode hack.
5-follow the steps cautiously to flash hacked firmware.
Now the device will flash to ford or mazda IDS v98. the device will not be detected at first (say you used ford IDS first). to switch from ford to mazda :
1- boot VCM in recovery mode
2- change device type using web browser
3- reboot VCM again in recovery mode
4- Launch Mazda IDS and reflash the VCM.
The same steps are used to flash back into ford firmware. I have not tried folder swapping and using a single firmware for both programs but I bet it would work. Because of the nature of my work, I can live with reflashing between both programs. they reside on the same HDD in a triple boot setup. the third OS is used for something else. I use deep freeze for my ford license works like a charm. Mazda doesn’t need anything done, only a valid device type and serial.
On a side note, I tested the device in 3 different win7 environments, and it just refuses to work in 2 of them. the ETAS driver keeps acting weird and sometimes detects an unknon device. on the 3rd one the driver is happy to see a good VCM2. Go figure… I setup both IDS programs in Win XP intances and it works fine.
