I bought TabScan T6 Xentry. I wanted to check if all the advertised features of the iOS app would work at least on my car. I also wanted to check how fast and stable the MUX would be compared to the VCI C6 clone with Xentry, Vediamo and DTS Monaco.

For the C6 clone and TabScan I used Dell 5300 with I7 8665U, 32GB RAM, 500GB NVMe SSD, Xentry 09.2023, Vediamo 05.01.01, DTS Monaco 8.16, Windows 11 Pro.

For the C6 I installed the latest 1.0.0.5 drivers on one laptop, and for TabScan I installed the latest "TabScan PC Management Tool" on the other laptop. This ensures that the drivers are installed correctly and all the necessary files are downloaded automatically. This is a big advantage of the C6 clone, as I had to contact the seller to get the correct drivers. But in the end, everything was fine.

Both the C6 clone and the TabScan T6 will be detected in Vediamo and DTS Monaco as an eCOM device, with Xentry you don't need to configure anything in the VCI Manager or in the system settings, they are both well configured and after installing the drivers and rebooting they are ready to use.

I started with the C6 clone, doing the usual EIS222 and IC222 bench testing. Interestingly, the C6 took a little longer to gather all the necessary information about the car, after which the quick test began. The T6 was a little quicker.

To confirm my impressions, I ran a quick test on my S205 2017. Both were reliable and fast, but the T6 was again faster at running the quick test and clearing error codes.

In Vediamo both were about the same, I think it's because of Vediamo and the old system architecture. But in DTS Monaco the T6 surprised me again because everything happened much faster than with the C6. Switching from one menu item to another or changing VCDs is much faster. Wow... I sent some videos to the guy with the VXDIAG SE and he was amazed at the incredible speed of the T6.

By the way, both devices, C6 and T6, can be used via WiFi. I accidentally did this with T6, and it worked stable and smoothly. I usually use a cable connection because I want to avoid errors due to slow WiFi or other problems when using WiFi. But this device is very stable.

Both devices worked great in Xentry and all other programs. If anyone wants to see the device in action, just message me, I can send you a video and you will see how fast the T6 is. I may also have some C6 videos, but I sold my C6 kit a few days ago.

Thanks for reading! I'll also look at other features of the TabScan T6 and tell you how they work.

Yes, it is a little faster, but it is also much more expensive. The C6 will be available for about $150, and the T6 will cost about $550. So it all depends on how much work you do on these devices.
 
Where did you find the C6 for $150?
 
As for the C6, I have never seen it for that price. I am currently using the Super MB PRO M6 and it works great with both new and old cars (HHT). WiFi works great too.
 
Ok, sounds good if it works! The M6 comes in two versions, one with USB (newer) and one with RJ45 (older). Do they both work like the C4?

It has both connectors.
If you plug in the USB, it will show up as a network card in the device manager, acting like an RJ45.
But since I got the M6, I haven't had any WiFi issues.
 
Thanks for your feedback. But still the main question.
Does the M6 handle the same as the C4 or C6?
I tried to find out about this on the websites of different sellers, but there is no information.
 
Yes, of course.
The connection is the same as C4 or SDconnect.
It doesn't matter if you connect the device via USB, RJ45 or WiFi, it will always be available at 172.29.127.129, just like C4, and will be displayed with the multiplexer number on the task icon.
 
Thanks for this information.
Then the latest Xentry version with native M6 support is XDOS 09.2023, all other versions need to be patched.

The old and new Super MB are the same.
Since new laptops do not have a LAN connection, the Super MB is equipped with a USB port.
