Subject: Question regarding Xentry Ignition Enabler (Top Position)

Body: Hi everyone,

I’m currently setting up my diagnostic environment and I’m a bit confused regarding the functionality of the Xentry Ignition Enabler, specifically the "Top" position on the switch.

I understand the general purpose of the enabler for handling the ZGW (Central Gateway) on newer W204/W207/W212 models, but I haven't found clear documentation on what the specific "Top" vs "Bottom" positions actually control in terms of pin bridging. xentry ignition enabler top

Could someone clarify:

  1. Is the "Top" position specifically for the 12V ignition feed bridging?
  2. Does this setting vary depending on whether I am using a C3 (RS232) or a C4 (LAN) multiplexer?

I’m trying to avoid frying the ZGW by sending voltage where it shouldn't go. Any advice from someone who has used this specific enabler would be greatly appreciated. Option 1: Technical Discussion / Forum Post Use

Thanks in advance!

Professional tuners and coders use Vediamo or DTS Monaco for deep-level coding (changing VINs, enabling factory options like Distronic or CarPlay). The Top enabler unlocks the communication protocols (CBF/CDI files) that these heavy-duty tools need to flash or write data to ECUs. Is the "Top" position specifically for the 12V
