Passthru SDconnect Switch Tool is a lightweight helper for Mercedes-Benz diagnostic environments where you need to alternate between J2534 PassThru and SDconnect (MUX) communication modes. It is designed for workshop PCs running Xentry and DAS, where adapter selection can depend on registry profiles and local configuration files.
In most setups the switch runs quickly and closes without a full UI. Internally it may apply pre-defined configuration profiles and registry values (for example Xentry-side profiles like XPT and XDOS on some installations) so Xentry can start with the intended interface mode.

- Useful for mixed workshop benches with multiple adapters and drivers
- Helps reduce manual configuration steps inside Xentry before diagnostics
- Works as a small add-on, easy to keep in your service toolkit
Package contents
- Passthru Switch.exe
- SDconnect Switch.exe
Compatibility notes
- Intended for Mercedes-Benz Xentry and DAS environments where interface mode is controlled by local configuration and registry.
- Behavior can vary by Xentry version, installed drivers, and adapter type.
- Administrator rights may be required to apply registry changes on some systems.
- A restart of Xentry, and sometimes a reboot, can be required for changes to take effect.
Basic usage
- Close Xentry and DAS if they are running.
- Run Passthru Switch.exe to set J2534 PassThru mode, or SDconnect Switch.exe to set SDconnect MUX mode.
- Start Xentry and confirm the connection mode or interface selection.
- If Xentry does not detect the interface, verify adapter drivers and repeat the switch with admin rights.
Operating systems
- Windows PC environments where Xentry and DAS are installed.
Minimum system requirements
- CPU: Any modern dual-core or better
- RAM: 2 GB minimum, 4 GB recommended
- Storage: Under 10 MB free space
