SWFinder 6.0.7 — find the right Mercedes flashware fast (CFF / SMR-F)
SWFinder by RMB Coding is a lightweight Windows utility that helps technicians and calibrators search, verify and download Mercedes-Benz ECU software packages. It works with both CFF and SMR-F file types and supports offline libraries as well as online link databases. The app centralizes everyday tasks around firmware lookups, VIN decoding, SCN/variant checks and file inspection, so you can prepare coding/flashing jobs with fewer clicks.



What SWFinder does

• Flashware search (CFF/SMR-F): query by HW/SW/ECU name or part number; filter by file type; one-click download with optional auto-open/unzip.
• VIN search: decode VIN to show ECU list, hardware IDs, available software versions and SA (factory option) codes.
• Compare codings: load Vediamo HTML or Monaco HTML exports and run COMPARE or FILTER DIFF to see only differences.
• UST / file scanner: open a single file or a folder and auto-identify formats (CBF, CFF, SMR-F/SMR-D, AED, SGDE, TXT, HTML, CDI, BIN).
• VGS2→3 helper: enter the 4-letter SCN and view current vs available SCN data (HEX/Decimal input).
• Utility toolbox: Version Scan, SHA-1 calculation, read Diagnostic ID, convert AED, plus a handy Hex↔Dec converter.
• Library control: shows your Flashwares Ver and Links Database date; update via Check for Updates → Update Links Database.

Why it’s useful

• Saves time when preparing ECU updates or variant changes by bringing all lookups into one window.
• Reduces errors with clear hardware/software matching, VIN-filtered results and side-by-side coding comparison.
• Works offline with local libraries — ideal for workshop networks without constant internet access.

Walk-through of the main tabs (per screenshots)

• SW Finder: search by HW/SW/ECU number; select Offline/Online and CFF/SMR-F; view Softwares list; download a full fileset.
• Flashware Search: type a specific filename/number to fetch it directly; generate shareable link; batch-download results.
• Downloads: monitor active transfers and quickly open the download folder.
• VIN Search: returns ECU, Hardware, Software and SA codes for the entered VIN; Get Available Options refines results.
• Hex to Dec: instant conversion for coding/SCN values (with spacing presets and auto-copy).
• Compare Tool: select 2 exports; FILTER DIFF shows only changed codings; COMPARE lists original vs new values.
• UST: search/browse files or scan on selection to display metadata (supports CBF/CFF/SMR-F/SMR-D/AED/SGDE/TXT/HTML/CDI/BIN).
• VGS2 to 3: helper for 7G-Tronic control unit conversions/checks via 4-letter SCN.
• Tools: Version Scan, SHA-1 hash, Get Diag ID, Convert AED, plus quick clear.

Suggested workflow

• Launch SWFinder → run Check for Updates → Update Links Database to refresh refs.
• Choose Offline (local library) or Online search, then select CFF or SMR-F.
• Search by part number/HW/SW/ECU name, or use VIN Search to list all matching packages.
• Download the needed file(s); enable Open file after downloading or Unzip after downloading if you prefer.
• (Optional) Export codings from your diagnostic suite and use Compare Tool to validate changes before flashing.
