How to use Vediamo software—that’s probably what you Googled after realizing your basic OBD2 scanner just won’t cut it for your Mercedes anymore. Maybe you want to unlock hidden features, fix nagging faults the dealer couldn’t, or flash a control unit like a nerd.
But here’s the catch: Vediamo speaks its own language, plays by its own rules, and one wrong click can turn your luxury car into a very expensive paperweight.
In this article, we’ll break down how to install and use Vediamo software step-by-step, show you how to connect to ECUs, safely perform variant coding, and even flash modules like a pro—without the panic attack.
1. What Is Vediamo Software?
Vediamo (VEhicle DIagnostic, MOnitoring, ADministration) is the proprietary engineering-level diagnostic and programming suite developed by Daimler AG for Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Unlike dealer-grade tools such as Xentry, Vediamo exposes the full range of OEM‐level functionality—allowing you to communicate directly with ECUs (Engine Control Units), TCU (Transmission Control Units), ESP (Electronic Stability Program) modules, and nearly every other control module on the vehicle.

2. Key Features of Vediamo
Vediamo isn’t your average diagnostic tool—it’s the same engineering-grade software used by Daimler AG during development and testing. With Vediamo, you get unfiltered access to the inner workings of nearly every ECU in a Mercedes-Benz vehicle. Below are its most powerful features that make it a must-have for serious technicians and retrofitters:
2.1. Full ECU Access – Even Hidden Development Functions
Vediamo allows direct communication with every Electronic Control Unit (ECU) in the vehicle via CAN, K-Line, UDS, or DoIP protocols. Unlike Xentry or OBD tools, it lets you:
-
Connect to any ECU manually, even if it doesn’t respond automatically
-
Enter Engineering, Development, or Extended sessions to access hidden functions
-
View raw data streams, security levels, and ECU metadata
Use Case: Want to access the VGS (7G-Tronic TCU) and tweak shift logic? Vediamo lets you go far beyond what the dealer tools allow.

- How to Virginize VGS2NAG2 by Vediamo
2.2. Variant Coding & Parameter Changes
One of Vediamo’s most-used features is variant coding, which allows you to unlock or configure hidden features that are not accessible through standard diagnostics.
With variant coding, you can:
-
Enable or disable features (e.g., ECO Start/Stop default off, Video in Motion, seat belt reminders)
-
Modify region-specific settings (e.g., fog light behavior, DRL configurations)
-
Adjust thresholds or logic in control units (e.g., fan speeds, ESP calibration)
Bonus: Changes are written directly to the EEPROM or coding memory of the module.

2.3. ECU Flashing (Control Unit Programming)
Vediamo supports firmware flashing (software updates or downgrades) for compatible ECUs using Daimler’s flash container (.cbf or .cff) files.
-
Upload updated firmware to resolve known bugs
-
Flash retrofitted control units to make them compatible
-
Replace corrupt ECUs by matching firmware versions
Warning: ECU flashing is sensitive—use correct files, stabilize battery voltage, and never interrupt the process.

2.4. Actuator Tests and Functional Routines
You can trigger actuator tests and run self-diagnostic routines within each ECU. These are especially useful for:
-
Diagnosing mechanical issues (e.g., open an EGR valve, test turbo actuator)
-
Calibrating sensors and components (e.g., throttle adaptation, fuel pressure test)
-
Resetting learned values or adaptations
Example: After replacing the swirl flap motor on a CDI engine, you can run the adaptation sequence to recalibrate it using Vediamo.
2.5. Live Data Monitoring (Actual Values)
Vediamo allows real-time monitoring of actual values from virtually any ECU. You can watch:
-
Sensor readings (oxygen sensors, wheel speed, temperature)
-
Actuator responses
-
Control loop behavior
-
Internal ECU status flags
Tip: Live data is critical when diagnosing intermittent faults or verifying coding changes.
2.6. Security Access and Seed/Key Unlocking
Many ECUs require security access before you can perform coding or flashing. Vediamo manages this through Seed-Key algorithms embedded in the CBF files.
-
Automatically handles authentication if the correct key is present
-
Allows access to protected functions like developer sessions, variant changes, EEPROM programming
Pro Tip: Always use the correct and updated CBF files to avoid getting locked out of the ECU.

2.7. Custom Macros and Automation
Vediamo includes a built-in macro scripting editor, allowing you to automate complex or repetitive tasks such as:
-
Batch flashing multiple ECUs
-
Auto-testing and logging results
-
Coding multiple vehicles in one session
Advanced Use: Workshops that retrofit fleets (e.g., taxis or delivery vans) can create standardized scripts to code or flash them in batches.
2.8. Flexible CBF File Management
At the core of Vediamo is its ability to use CBF files (CAN-based Function files), which define the functions and coding structure of each ECU.
-
Load custom or OEM CBF files per vehicle model or ECU type
-
Browse CBF structure to understand parameter logic
-
View hidden menus and engineering notes embedded by developers
Best Practice: Keep a well-organized library of CBF files by model year and ECU type to ensure compatibility.

CPU: Intel i3 or higher
-
RAM: 4GB minimum (8GB recommended for stability)
-
Ports: At least 1 USB port or Ethernet port (for LAN connection to SD Connect)
-
Admin Rights: Required for software installation and configuration
Please note: Using a virtual machine (VMware or VirtualBox) is common to isolate Vediamo from your main system.
3.3. CBF Files (CAN-Based Function Files)
Vediamo uses CBF files to define communication and functions for each specific ECU.
-
Each ECU requires a specific CBF file
-
Files contain variant coding options, diagnostic parameters, routines, and seed/key access
-
Usually included in engineering software packages or downloaded from trusted sources (e.g., forums like MHHAuto or CarTechnology)
4. Set up connection with Vediamo
Set up connection via OBD II Port of Vehicle
Step 1: Prepare interface and car
- Make sure interfaces and cables have no problems
- Car battery’s voltage is below 12 V and Battery charger for necessary cases
Step 2: Connect VCI to Vehicle and Laptop
- Locate the OBD-II port in the vehicle (usually found under the dashboard).

- Plug the OBD II cable to OBD II Port (many interfaces can be plugged directly into OBD II Port.
- Check signals on interfaces (the signal will depend on the interface type) to ensure the interface works properly.
For example: SD Connect C4

Step 3: Connect cable to laptop and Vediamo
- SD Connect and eCom can connect to laptop by Ethernet Cable

- Other interfaces can be connected with USB Cable
Step 4: Check connection in Vediamo
You can see the signal from interface at Vediamo Server CAESAR
If you use SD Connect, it will show I+ME ACTIA SDconnect

If connect to only an ECU, you need prepare cable for the ECU which you want to connect with Vediamo
- First, connect cable to ECU which you want to connect with Vediamo
- Then connect 12 V power to cable
- Finally, connect OBD II Port to VCI and set up connection as same as connect to a Vehicle

5.Understand Vediamo Data Paths
When working with Vediamo, you will need to connect to ECUs. So you need files to be able to do this, they are very important. You should have a big database for most model vehicles. It includes:
- VSB path: vediamo system descriptions
- CBF path: Caesar Binary File
You can set up Data Paths in INI Editor for VSB and CBF Files

However, most of the modules are now available as CBF files. You can easily find them with Xentry Caesar folder or contact us via WhatsApp, we will advise and help you download CBF database for most car. We have divided the files into folders suitable for each vehicle model. We have divided the files into folders suitable for each vehicle model. You can refer to the table below:

Table 3: CBF Files
After this part, you may have some doubts about the vehicle models up to present. These models you should use DTS Monaco 8.16 to work. And for older models not in the above table, you can try working with DAS. If you are interested in DAS and DTS Monaco 8.16, you can contact us for installation support.
=> Download DTS Monaco Software
As the model table is showed at previous page, there are many CBF files corresponding to each vehicle model. Therefore, to ensure that you can choose the correct CBF files suitable for the vehicle model or ECU which you are working on, we will give you some procedures you can refer to below.
In case of selecting files for all ECUs on your vehicle:
Step 1: Determine the vehicle’s VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) or FIN (Fahrzeug Identifizierungs Nummer) to to be able to determine the model code
- Check VIN on the chassis

With European vehicles, you can see the model code in the VIN. The model code for w204, from there you can easily select the BR_204 folder and start working.

If the vehicle you are working on is not from Europe, the VIN will be regulated by a different standard. Therefore, we need another method to determine the model code.
- Using a diagnosis software like Xentry Diagnosis or lookup software like WIS/ASRA and EPC

Example with this CLA, the model code is on the right of VIN. You can easily identify the model code C117

- Decode VIN with a VIN Decoder website: You can use many different websites, but I will introduce you to one website that is lastvin.com.

- Enter your VIN and solve the CAPCHA

Press to Get Datacard you will get the results.

- You can also identify by the name and year of the vehicle to determine the model code.
Example with a 2012 MERCEDES-BENZ C 250 BlueEFFICIENCY, you can easily identify this is w204 with vehicle model table on previous page.
Step 2: Once you have located the CBF files folder, open and choose cbf folder

And of course, you need to understand clearly about the ECU names corresponding to each CBF files. We will list some ECUs and CBF names in the following table.

6. How to Select System with Vediamo
Now, we will start using Ecoute with CAESAR Server. First, you must know how to select CBF Files for ECU. Of course, you can select the system to be diagnosed either from the menu System / Select… or using Alt-A.
- You can also select System faster with button on Tool bar.

- The dialog “Select system” appears and lists the available ECU systems. Now you can select ECU which you want to work. You can change folder if you want to work with a ECU not in your Database.

- “Show” function is entry specifies if Vediamo systems (VSBs) and systems derived from Diogenes data (CBFs) are are displayed in the system selection dialog. Standard setting for VSB files and CBF files is No. You can change setting for in Ecoute Options of INI Editor

- Then choose ECOUTE options

Choose “Offer CBF files when selecting the system and click to Show Default Systems to change setting
You can disable setting for VSB files and work only with CBF files. Combine with setting up CBF Path in Vediamo Data Paths section to be able to quickly when selecting System
7. How to Close System in Vediamo
A system can be closed using the menu selection System / Close. All windows displaying ECU-relevant data (system, error, measurement, trace) are then closed.
The system is automatically closed if:
- Ecoute is ended and no further clients are using the server
- A new system is selected
- The DiagServer is re-initialized (server reset)
8. How to Do Variant Coding with Vediamo
Now we come to Variant Coding – one of the important sections of working with ECUs. Coding an ECU involves modifying your vehicle’s Electronic Control Unit so it behaves differently. Whether you’re adjusting settings to enable hidden features (commonly called ECU coding), the process requires a clear understanding of what you want to achieve and the right tools to get there. So, in the process of Coding an ECU, careful consideration and understanding of ECU Coding is essential. Here, we’ll walk you through the essentials to get the job done.
Step 1: Access the Variant Coding Window
First, we need to know how to access this feature. The current state of the variant coding can be read and modified with Ecoute. You can open Variant Coding window for that as follows:
- Navigate to
Coding > Variant Coding
from the top menu, or simply pressAlt + V
.

- You can also use button on toolbar to open it.

- Then Variant Coding Window will be opened

Once opened, Vediamo checks for preconditions defined in the current ECU’s system description. If any services require input (like vehicle VIN or hardware configuration), a dialog will appear for you to fill in the required parameters.
⚠️ Note: If the Variant Coding window fails to read current data (with a “Read codstring failed” error), it could be due to:
Wrong or incompatible VCI type
Incorrect or mismatched CBF file
ECU protection or lack of access permissions
Try using a supported VCI (like SDconnect C4 or C6) and ensure you’re using the correct CBF file for the ECU you’re coding. In some cases, you may borrow a CBF from a similar model as a workaround.

You can get a good VCI type or you can borrow a CBF file from another model series to read. This error can occur for many different reasons. We will talk more about VCI in another chapter.
Step 2: Understanding the Coding Interface
1. Services List
All the ECUs coding services are displayed in this dialog field. When a service is selected from the selection list, all fragments and the respective values in the “selection window” are displayed in the lower section of the dialog. You can open the selection list to change the service you want to work on.

2. Current Coding:
The current coding string from the ECU is read and displayed when the dialog is opened. Fragments and values matching the coding are displayed in a list field. If the coding is not found in the parameterization, “unknown” is entered under values. You can resize the Variant Coding window or scroll down to display more Fragments and Values.

The coding string can be displayed either in decimal or hexadecimal format depending on the setting in Vediamo.ini. The coding string format is specified by the “VarCodStringFormat” entry in the [ECOUTE] section of Vediamo.ini.
This entry can have the value “Decimal” or “Hexadecimal”. To change display format:
-
Edit
Vediamo.ini
in the[ECOUTE]
section. -
Modify
VarCodStringFormat = Decimal
orHexadecimal
.
The value “Decimal” means that the coding string is displayed in decimal form. The value “Hexadecimal” means the coding string is displayed in hexadecimal form. The coding string is in decimal format by default. You can change to hexadecimal format if it is better for your work

3. Selection Area
All parameterized fragments of the selected service are displayed along with their values in this section of the dialog. Normally the current code will be displayed corresponding to the values in the fragments.
When a new value is selected:
-
Vediamo instantly recalculates the new coding string.
-
A diff is shown, highlighting which values or bits have changed.

Step 3: Change the Coding Values
You can change coding by changing a value in fragments list. As soon as a value is selected from the list, the corresponding coding string is displayed immediately. In addition, the difference between the current coding string and the selected coding string is evaluated and the position where the two strings differ is marked with the numerical value of the difference (decimal: absolute value of the difference of the two values; hexadecimal: bitmask of changed bits).
Here’s how to modify the ECU’s behavior:
-
In the fragments list, select the value you want to change.
-
Verify the new coding string displayed.
-
Once you’re satisfied, click the ECU Coding button.
Note: Vediamo will display a confirmation dialog before writing the changes to the ECU. You can skip this warning in the future by checking “Do not show this window again.”



After confirmation, the coding process begins.
-
If successful, you’ll see
Variant Coding completed
andRead variant coding string
in the status window. -
If access is denied, you’ll receive a
DiagService refused
error—this typically means the ECU is locked.

Step 4: Unlock ECU (If Required)
Some ECUs are protected and do not allow coding unless unlocked. If coding fails with an access error:
-
Perform the Unlock ECU procedure first.
-
Once the ECU is unlocked, repeat the coding process.
Detailed steps for unlocking ECUs are covered in the next section.
Please Note: If you try to perform ECU Coding without knowing or forgetting to unlock the ECU, you don’t need to worry about this because Variant Coding will not be changed and status window will appear a message to tell you that your action has been refused

In this case, you can perform Unlock ECU and continue Coding. About the steps to Unlock ECU, we will help you learn the details in the next section.
Step 5: Save Variant Coding Snapshot
Before or after making changes, it’s a best practice to save the current coding:
-
Click the Save to File button.
-
Choose the file name and location.
-
Add comments for future reference.
This feature is especially useful when working with multiple vehicles or modules—allowing you to quickly revert or reuse known-good configurations.

This makes it easier for you to work between multiple ECUs and multiple vehicles.
Clicking this button to close the variant coding dialog. After the button is pressed, any postconditions regarding variant coding included in the system description are executed, in the same way as the preconditions described above.

9. How to Do Manual Variant Coding with Vediamo (Advanced Users)
Another way you can change Variant Coding string is Manual Coding. Clicking on the button Manual Coding opens a dialog, in which the coding string can be edited manually.
Step 1: Click the Manual Coding button.

The coding string in the edit field is taken from the selection field. If the selection field does not contain a string, the coding string is taken from the field of the current coding string. The user can edit the coding string and execute the variant coding by clicking on the ECU-Coding button. The dialog is closed without coding by clicking on the button Close.

Step 2: Save/load custom strings from files.
You have the possibility of naming your own coding strings and storing them in a list (Add to list button). Strings in the list can also be deleted (Delete button). The compiled list can be stored in a file (Save file), or previously compiled lists can be loaded from a file (Open file). This is particularly useful when the number of combinations is very high and working with your own selection lets you work more effectively.
The coding string loaded from the file is displayed in a decimal or hexadecimal format, according to the parameter VarCodStringFormat in the file Vediamo.ini. The format in which the string is stored in the file might be decimal, hexadecimal or even mixed and it has no influence on the display and entering format.

Manual Coding is very useful when you work with a module that has a long Variant Coding string. With copy Variant coding string you can write fast and perform ECU Coding.
Then there will be a dialog box similar to when you do ECU Coding with fragments and the result will be the same, will be displayed on the Status window.
Step 3: ECU Reset after ECU Coding
Finally, after perform ECU Coding with any ECU, you need to perform Hard reset (will be displayed differently for each different ECU like FN_HardReset, FN_ECU_Reset, …) to reset the ECU.

You can check the error to determine the effectiveness of the ECU Coding process, you can perform different methods to get the best results.
