DoIP Xentry Connect C5 Host Hard Drive and Software HDD Issue

Each Mb star diagnosis DoIP MB STAR C5 host comes with a built-in hard drive (green board in picture below) which contains the data that makes the machine run properly.  The hard drive is used to reflash/update C5 firmware as well.

Recently come customers are attempt to remove hard drive on Xentry Connect C5 host by themselves and change data on computer, we sincerely warn our customers don’t do that.
Please don’t move the hard drive on SD Connect C5 host. Don’t connect the hard drive to computer to change data. You are at your risk. We are not hold the responsibility of your damage.
You need to send back the hard drive to factory to run firmware upgrade. If the factory provides the firmware upgrade link or online resources, you don’t need to send it back.
By the way, the movable external hard drive (software HDD) in the package contains Xentry Openshell XDOS, and engineering software Vediamo, DTS Monaco etc, it is the correct hard drive you can run on computer.

And don’t insert the software HDD to Benz diagnostic tool C5 host to replace original hard drive.  It will cause damage to the xentry connect c5 multiplexer.

What is used for BMW G30 ECU flash

Purpose: Need to flash a BWM G series G30
Puzzle: Is the ICOM Next mandatory or is the up to date ICOM 1st generation ICOM from 2012 ok?
Can I flash NBT EVO with old ICOM?
Advice & Options:
1.
ENET cable would probably be better for you.
2.
I flashed NBT EVOs with old ICOM without problems.
3.
Flashed all Cars with ICOM Next and Online Aos with DHCP over Router. Since that i have Never any Problems with NBT or other. Flash E/F/G with this Setup.
Note that Online Aos is the online version of the BMW software for Diagnostic, Programming any many other things.
4.
To answer your question
1st : you doesn’t need iCOM NEXT ON CnAutotool to flash the G series…but It actually Lot better & save up your times because iCOM NEXT has build in Gigabit connection.
2nd : old iCOM working find. It just take a lot longer.
5.
Icom best any type , router I noticed w my setup I use desktop w 2 lan port and on a few f cars it actually faster then oem it programs up to 8 module same time w gigabit switch , and handle data lots faster than etnet cable and for certain modules the router is a must will crash hu high in kombi in a few others
6.
Any icom will work , but to be safe with f,g,i series vehicles , use a dedicated router as kafas huh and a few other modules will crash if you do not use a router it handles the switches for Ethernet as those modules use more than 1 path way , in short it uses all 4 two pair wires and without router not good , this has worked for me for some time now good luck. note my router does not connect to wan
Conclusion:
ICOM Next is the best option for G series, working better and faster than old BMW ICOM cables. It handles multiprogramming and coding quite nicely. Gets the job done much faster if flashing the complete vehicle. Also, another benefit to Next will be compatibility for future cars.
