I am interested in buying an original XENTRY VCI, but I see many different prices on the market. Some ask for 2400 EUR, others ask for 1700 USD. How can I check if it is original or not?

For example, when installing Xentry cleanly, without any additional utilities to run VCX SE, the serial number should be visible in VCI Manager. You can check how the firmware is updated or restored in the same place, in VCI Manager. It should work over both USB and WiFi, and should show up as a J2534 device in programs that work with them. When connecting to a car, you can additionally connect to the DOIP control unit, that is, check whether DOIP works in the VCI. I don't know of any other tests.

Yes, I have tested the VCX SE on several 2023 cars. Works great!
 
I asked about XENTRY VCI, I have VXDIAG but it is not fast and unstable.
On new cars you need the right tool.

As I understood after searching, there is nothing better than original diagnostic devices, only for Mercedes.
