DTS Monaco Coding Problem with Openport 2.0

[rimedre]

I bought a copy of Openport 2.0 from Aliexpress which can work online for coding my W177 car. Everything ran smoothly with Xentry. It took me a while to run it with DTS Monaco 9.02, but I did it. However, it does not work properly with DTS Monaco. IC177 (Instrument cluster) was coded without problems, the rest of the modules were not coded. For example, I wanted to code HU6, I coded it, got no errors, but there were no changes. Also when I want to scan all modules with DTS Monaco, it scans up to 6% and then gives an error that the Openport connection is lost. I think the Openport I bought is broken. Why hasn't anything changed in HU6? Which Openport device should I buy on Aliexpress? If I buy ENET Cable instead of Openport, will I be able to code with DoIP?

Openport 2.0 clones are not very reliable, I have read a lot about them dying after 2-3 successful flashes, from different people. For peace of mind, you can buy the original. They tend to die due to overvoltage, overheating, poor build quality, etc. I suspect you have the same problem.

Short answer. What is a Tactrix Openport 2.0 clone? Transparent case, gold PIN, black circuit board, has SD card slot (write logs if necessary, otherwise not used), usually sold with a "Full Chip, new version" tag. This can be improved by replacing the 6 resistors to enable the network connection, otherwise the network connection will destroy the device.

There is a blog post that may help, you can find it by searching on Google: "How to choose the right clone Tactrix Openport 2.0 J2534."
And there is another blog: "How to modify a Tactrix Openport 2.0 clone to enable network connection?"

Thank you for your information. I returned the device yesterday.

I want to buy an ENET cable and code with it. Is the ENET cable compatible with W177? Is there any ENET cable you recommend for me or what should I look for before purchasing one?

For me, online coding is not important, I still want to code offline. But I don't understand why HU6 was coded but went back to the old settings without any changes.

Can I do the coding using any OBD device that supports J2534? For example, with Godiag GD101? From what I have seen this device is original and according to what it says on it it is compatible with Mercedes vehicles.

I read that in some cars with an ENET cable coding is impossible, so is it possible to buy the device that I wrote above?

Just look for a quality ENET cable, a quality RJ45 socket and a quality OBD2 socket, it is not like Openport, does not have complex components.
You can even build it yourself.
But I don't know if W177 is compatible with ENET.

Can all ECUs be encoded using the ENET cable?

By the way, the problem is solved. With DTS Monaco 8.16 all codings worked fine. If someone encounters such a problem as I did, you can install DTS Monaco 8.16 and solve the problem.
