1. Parts recommendations: Jump to the drawing With our last release, we implemented the parts recommendation modal in the parts catalogue. To make it even easier to identify the parts that are suggested to you, we have linked the drawing. If you click on the underlined name of a part, you will be navigated to the corresponding subgroup and drawing in the catalogue. The selected part is highlighted. 2. Parts campaign on landing page To place your dealer&#x27;s parts campaigns even more prominently, they are now displayed directly above the vehicle list. This means you can see immediately after logging in to B2B Connect whether your dealer is running a campaign with discounted prices for you. The dealer also has the option of informing you about other campaigns. To be able to see the information, you must select the relevant dealer. 3. XENTRY Tips with VIN If you open XENTRY Tips via the ‘Work on vehicle’ page, the VIN is transmitted directly. This allows you to continue working directly in the vehicle context in XENTRY Tips. 4. Export of the basket It is now possible to export the parts shopping basket in B2B Connect. The available formats are PDF, XLSX and XFR. All parts that have been selected are always exported. If a part is not ticked, it will not appear in the export. 5. Simplified dealer selection If you do not yet have a retailer relationship in B2B Connect, you can select your desired retailer directly via the header. For users with an existing retailer relationship, the selection for additional retailers remains available under Account &gt; Retailer. 6. DSB headlamp check In the service entry for Service A, B or an intermediate service, the headlamp check is now a separately listed activity. If you have performed this, you must tick the corresponding checkbox in the DSB. 7. Promotion Video on public landing page As you probably already saw when you logged in, a promo video has been integrated into the public homepage of B2B Connect. The video appeals to interested parties and new users of B2B Connect.

Due to the sharp increase in threats to the security of our applications, we will gradually introduce multifactor authentication for XENTRY applications accessed via B2B connect from the beginning of 2025 - first as an option, then as mandatory from April 2025. This includes XENTRY Parts Information, XENTRY TIPS, XENTRY WIS and others. You can enable multifactor authentication via a corresponding app on your mobile phone or desktop PC (e.g. WIN Auth, Google Authenticator, ...) or via a security key. Further information, as well as the possibility to set up MFA, can be found here: <a rel="noopener" href="https://login.mercedes-benz.com/password/mfa" target="_blank">https://login.mercedes-benz.com/password/mfa</a>

Important information for the Retail Data Storage 4 Terabyte

1. Catalog entry The catalog entry has been visually completely redesigned to simplify the beginning of your parts search. Instead of long lists, there are now search fields and dropdowns to make it easier for you to find the right part.
2. Catalog entry - Search You can certainly start your parts search using the two search fields at the top of the home page. In the first search field, start with a VIN or model. Previous entries are saved and displayed. As a result, you will be redirected to the catalog. In the second search field you can enter part numbers directly or search for keywords. The results are displayed directly. To provide the best results for your search, combine both search fields.
3. Catalog entry – series &amp; model If you do not know the series and model or looking for a special aggregate, you can use the three-stage selection within the dropdowns. First, select the appropriate division by clicking on the corresponding image. The options for aggregate, series and model are then available to you.
4. Parts catalog In addition to the catalog entry, the catalog itself has also received a visual overhaul. The main focus was on simple user navigation, including different main groups. In addition, the categories were removed and the well-known aggregate structure was included.
5. Parts catalog – Aggregates After you have entered the parts catalog, you need to navigate to the part you are looking for. First, select the corresponding aggregate in the header of the catalog. If the unit is not unique to the previously selected vehicle or model, you can select the fitting one.
6. Parts catalog – Maingroups On the left side you will now find a list of all main groups for the selected aggregate. A search bar simplifies your navigation to the desired main group. If you need more space on your screen for the drawing and parts list, you can also minimize the main group list to the numbers. By moving the mouse over the numbers, the names of the groups become visible again briefly.
7. Parts catalog – Subgroups The selection of the desired subgroup takes place in the main area of ​​the catalog and is supported by the preview of the exploded drawings. Once you have selected a subgroup, the corresponding drawing and parts list will be displayed. A change in drawings and subgroups is still maintained by using the slider that we presented to you in the last release letter.
8. Parts catalog – order type You can now change the order type in the catalog at any time. Immediate demand and stock ordering are the options available to you.
9. Parts catalog – language selection It is now possible to change the language of the parts catalog directly.

Aggregates, main groups, subgroups and parts themselves are included. Navigation elements in the header, sidebar and footer areas as well as all website content are unaffected by this language selection. For these areas, the language can be changed in the website header.
10. Parts catalog – saving vehicles If you entered the parts catalog with a VIN that is not yet saved in your vehicle list, you can do so quickly and easily in the catalog. In the header you can click “Save” next to the VIN. In addition to document services, you can also view an order history for this vehicles.

11. Parts catalog – Classic vehicles In B2B Connect you can also store classic vehicles without digital data card. To do this, simply enter the VIN and, after checking that it is correct, save it in your vehicle list. You can now select and save the correct aggregates in the data card of the vehicle overview. This means you don&#x27;t have to look up the unit numbers for every repair job to get to the correct part.
12. Parts packages The parts packages are now integrated into the page navigation. The packages have the same design as the parts catalog itself. On the left you will find the main groups. You can browse these or collapse them to create more space on the screen. In the main area of ​​the window you will find the packages belonging to the main group. Selecting a package opens the included parts list. Related packages are displayed, too.
13. Paints &amp; Fluids Paints and fluids have found a new place in the navigation bar on the left side of the screen. The design of the parts catalog is retained to ensure easy operation. The main groups can be searched or collapsed. If a main group has been selected, the subgroups are displayed in the main area of the screen. By opening the subgroup, the list of paints and supplies is displayed.

This display is available both in the type entry and in the vehicle-specific parts catalogue. 4. Filter settings in the catalogue With the help of the filter options, the parts list is adapted according to the vehicle characteristics. By removing these filters, it is also possible to display parts that were not installed in the vehicle you entered. This means that alternative parts can also be found. By default, this filter is enabled to ensure clarity of parts lists. 5. Highlighting the current navigation selection The selected category, major, and subgroup are highlighted in the dropdown of the parts list page and displayed in the centre of the list for a better overview of the current selection. 6. Checkboxes in the trolley In the trolley, checkboxes are now inserted on all levels. With the help of these checkboxes, entire shopping carts can be selected or deselected.

The size of the control unit software increases with new vehicle models. Workshops therefore need longer to transfer control unit software via OBD to vehicles. The data transfer rate via OBD is limited to 100 Mbit/s.
With the USB to LAN adapter, we now offer a XENTRY Diagnosis accessory product which enables transfer of control unit software to the vehicle at 300 Mbit/s. Waiting times for control unit programming are therefore shortened. The prerequisite is that the workshop network is fast enough.
If the USB to LAN adapter and retail data storage are not in the same subnet (Class-C subnet), there may be restrictions in use with older head unit software. You can find further information on the product, prerequisites for use as well as instructions for commissioning and use in <a class="link link--quinary link--inline link--justify-content-flex-start link--align-items-center" href="/[market]/workshop-solutions/diagnosis/retail-data-storage" target="_blank" rel="" data-qa="">the USB to LAN adapter area</a>.

<h4>Interior filters in a competitive comparison</h4>
Clean, fresh air promotes driver attentiveness and the ability to concentrate,thus also increasing road safety. A test by the independent fiatec Filter &amp; Aerosol Technologie GmbH (Germany) clearly demonstrates the many advantages of the Mercedes‑Benz genuine interior filter in comparison to competitor products. From the best dust retention capacity to the simple and quick installation in the air-conditioning system.

<h4>Shock absorbers: original vs. competitor</h4>
Different manufacturers offer shock absorbers of varying quality. Even when new,their behaviour can differ severely from the desired target characteristics of the genuine shock absorbers. This has also been shown in tests conducted by the vehicle technology testing centre at Dresden&#x27;s Technical University. Weather resistance to wear and tear or braking distance evaluation: in a comparison of the four shock absorbers tested, the Mercedes-Benz genuine shock absorber performed best.

<h4>In comparison: spark plugs from seven manufacturers</h4>
Mercedes‑Benz genuine spark plugs are optimally tuned to the respective engine of a Mercedes‑Benz. In this way, they ensure high levels of performance as well as lowfuel consumption. In order to test their product quality, they were pitted against six comparable competitor products. Test institutes such as NGK Spark Plug GmbH (now Nitera GmbH), Fraunhofer IWS and Aspect Quality GmbH were involved. Example salt spray test: Here, the influence of water spray or saltcontained in the air were simulated. Even after 100 hours of testing, Mercedes‑Benzgenuine spark plugs exhibited no signs of red rust. By comparison: more than half ofthe competitor products already started to show visible signs of red rust after just25 hours; this became worse after 100 hours.

<h4>Oil filter: original vs. competitors and copy</h4>
Major visible differences with the oil filters of other manufacturers and even the copies are not immediately evident. But a product test was able to reveal significant deviations in quality. The latest results from the independent testing institute IFTS (Institut de la Filtration et des Techniques Séparatives) in France show the advantages of using Mercedes-Benz Genuine Parts. The main focus of the competitive comparison was on the decisive criteria of manufacturing quality, pressure resistance, contaminant retention capacity and separation efficiency.

<h4>Engine air filters in competitive comparison</h4>
The competitive comparison was carried out by the independent testing institute fiatec Filter &amp; Aerosol Technologie GmbH. The direct comparison shows drastic differences in quality. These could be aconsiderable safety risk, particularly in the case of copies, e.g. the risk of fire in the engine compartment. In contrast, Mercedes-Benz genuine air filters are compared as offering, among other things, the best filter efficiency, the longest durability, and the highest protection against damage to the engine.

<h3>Now online: your portal update for most efficient work processes</h3>
Since the end of January 2023, your independent workshop has been benefiting from the latest developments in Mercedes-Benz B2B Connect – from even smarter navigation to the restructured overview of customer vehicles and the independent detail page for each vehicle. From now on, you can benefit from many more innovations in the portal:
<ul style="list-style-type:disc">
<li data-type="DISC"><section>Full integration of WebParts: thanks to an intuitive tile and list view, you can conveniently navigate to the desired parts and add them to your shopping cart.</section></li>
<li data-type="DISC"><section>Smart navigation via sidebar &amp; toolbar: via our new sidebar on the left, you can easily switch to the account area or back and forth between relevant work steps of the currently selected customer vehicle as required. In addition, a toolbar gives you access to important functions at any time, including access to your vehicles list from any page.</section></li>
<li data-type="DISC"><section>Faster access to the information you need when working on the vehicle: Search several applications simultaneously for vehicle-specific information, e.g. XENTRY WIS, XOT and Parts Information. Search results lead directly to the respective underlying application, provided it is activated.</section></li>
<li data-type="DISC"><section>Redesigned account area: from now on, you can access your personal account even more intuitively – directly via the sidebar on the left of the vehicle list. In your account, you will benefit from a quick overview of your licences and optimised user management.</section></li>
<li data-type="DISC"><section>Order more flexibly for faster availability: if a desired part is not in stock at retailer A, simply select retailer B or C as the supplier for this specific part in the middle of the ordering process so as not to lose any time. Provided that several retailers have been saved as possible suppliers beforehand. It will then remain a single order process per vehicle. </section></li>
</ul>
It is best to try out these and some additional adjustments directly to familiarise yourself with them.  Good to know: the further development of Mercedes-Benz B2B Connect will continue until summer 2023. Stay tuned.

Thanks to the current further development of Mercedes-Benz B2B Connect, we are providing even more targeted support for the actual work processes in your independent workshop. With today's release, we are entering the next phase. In addition to the full integration of the improved WebParts catalog and a restructuring of the navigation, you can expect further innovations. Be curious!

• Automatic indication of availability of dynamic wiring diagrams If there are dynamic wiring diagrams for a vehicle, they must be used as they provide the latest content for working on the vehicle. This can be recognized by the fact that the DWD icon for Dynamic Wiring Diagram is active in the left function bar. In this case, the static wiring diagrams of info type pe may no longer be used. To indicate this, the following message is displayed as soon as a WIS document search is started that contains the info type pe as search criterion: <img src="https://b2bcfrontdoor.azurefd.net/prod/media/n2oim4ht/bildschirmfoto-2022-06-28-um-11-08-08.png" alt="" width="500" height="129.3478260869565"/> • Deactivation/activation of synonym search in the advanced full-text search, in the advanced document title search and in the notification window for a high number of hits: - If the hit list is too large for a full-text search in documents or document titles, you can jump directly from the search to the user settings to deactivate the synonym search - If the search word was not found during a full-text search in documents or document titles or the number of hits is too small, you can jump directly from the search to the user settings to activate the synonym search • Note on a more recent document version in another language: If a displayed document is available in another language in a more recent version, an orange button is displayed at the top right with which the latest document can be displayed.

Since 11.04.2022, ISPs will also benefit from the XENTRY WIS and XENTRY Operation Time (XOT) products.

XENTRY WIS and XENTRY Operation Time now available for independent workshops

Since October 2021, the new module &quot;Dynamic Wiring Diagram&quot; is available to every WIS user in B2B Connect. Due to the VIN-specific display of &quot;Dynamic Wiring Diagram&quot;, the user is only shown the wiring diagram that is relevant for his vehicle. A time-consuming search for the vehicle equipment and system jumps are no longer necessary. This, together with other search and filter functions, helps the user and contributes significantly to reducing possible search errors in the repair and diagnosis process. Further information on components, for example, can also be displayed with just one click. &quot;Dynamic Wiring Diagram&quot; is linked to the right WIS; a separate order is therefore not necessary. Please note that from the end of 2021 wiring diagrams for new start-ups and model maintenance will only be available in the &quot;Dynamic Wiring Diagram&quot; module. Therefore, you should preferably use this module for schematic research.

The new module DWD is now available to all WIS users.
