Depending on the country, XENTRY Remote Diagnosis is available in five different time slices, each for passenger cars, vans and smart. A time slice becomes valid immediately after purchase. To get an overview of available time slices and prices, please visit Mercedes-Benz B2B Connect.

Basically you have the possibility to combine different time slices for car, van and smart and to purchase them in any frequency. However, if your business model is not compatible with the packages offered, please contact support.

The current amount of remaining time credit is displayed in "My Workshop" on Mercedes-Benz B2B Connect under "Applications".

The remaining time credit is checked every time XENTRY Remote Diagnosis is started. There will be a notification on your display if no ‘started’ time credit is available. When a time credit has been purchased, it is active immediately and continues to run for the full duration of the purchased time span, even if the app is not used. This means, for example, that a time credit of one day remains valid for exactly one day after it is started, even if the app is used for only a few minutes.

For business-related questions (such as StartKey, diagnostics time credits), please get in contact with the support teams via the button below. They will be happy to offer you assistance.

If you experience any problems with your order or if an error occurred during the order process, please contact our support team.
