So what’s this Vediamo that keeps getting mentioned and why?
Vediamo is an engineering level diagnostic and development software for Mercedes. This differs from DAS/Xentry as these are workshop diagnostic level tools, the audience for Vediamo is engineers while the audience for DAS/Xentry is Technicians. Vediamo is significantly unfriendlier and riskier than DAS/Xentry but it is also more flexible and provides more access.
With the change to always online coding in Xentry the only way to do manual custom coding in the R172 is Vediamo (Since the R172 is not supported in DAS) and this is why it now pops up here and there in the MB world.
So what is it useful for?
Installation of new/used control units
Retrofits
Fixing some annoying things MBUSA (or MB) did
