To connect to control units Ecoute relies on descriptor files (vsb or cbf) these files contain the necessary information to interface with a control module and execute defined functions and routines. The CBF file is backwards compatible, meaning that it will be able to interface with all the previous software versions, up to that point, but will not be able to interface on a control module with newer software.Įcoute is the main module used for diagnostics, coding and flashing. You may attempt to use a CBF file descriptor, with an older version, on a control unit, which has a more up-to-date software, but it will not work. You see, apart from some control units being available to specific cars, these control units also have software versions on them.

Vediamo Ecoute will just not be able to translate the setting values and memory positions and interface them to you. What happens if I use an incompatible CBF file? In Vediamo, you can see the current value assigned to a specific memory location, and the possible other values you can assign. These files describe the parts of the memory the control unit has, and translates each pointed memory, and each valid memory values, to be human readable.īy having these translations, the user knows in which part of memory, what value is valid, in order to operate specific settings. These will also be available in Xentry 2020 installations.ĬBF files are descriptors, which Vediamo Ecoute uses to interface with a specific control module from the car. Here you will find all the CBF files that Xentry/DAS uses. #CFF1.zip thru #CFF8.zip (#CFF8.zip appears in 2019 installations)Įxtract using 7zip in numerical order so that at the end you have a complete list of folders for each ECU that have the lastest CFF files for use with Vediamo.īeginning in Xentry 2020 installations, these CFF files are no longer included.Ĭ:\Program Files (x86)\Mercedes-Benz\DAS\comdat\pkw\cbf The CFF files are contained in a series of compressed archives. If you installed 2019 or earlier version of Xentry, you have an official CBF and a CFF database that you can use for Vediamo for coding and flashing.Ĭ:\Program Files (x86)\Mercedes-Benz\SDFlash\Release\PKW
