Hi all,

abs light.
Hi,
Can anyone help me with some info on 1999 Jag XJ8 Dash ?
On first inspection.

Are there any common failures ? does the dash hold the mileage ?
I dont have any eeprom readers , is it possible to move milage chip to a scondhand dash ?
I have some info, wiring etc and will be taking a closer look at it tomorrow.
Thanks.

Hi Guys,
Just want to share my experience with recent DAS/Xentry versions.
I have W204 and W212 in my garage, in order to work with them at once, I need both DAS/Xentry working.
I was using 01.2011, it works well in most of W204. but due to some reason, I was pursuing the upgrade of my DAS / Xentry
(thanks for all the help from this forum, and of course web master!)
Here I would like to share some of my experience (with 100+ hours fighting with them )
2011.01 - Golden version, has no too strict check and protection.
suggest for beginner and people who has car manufactured by then
(no need to chase latest version, seriously!)
2011.07.- Golden version + , but getting difficult to install them because it requires many manual interruption during the installation, replace commonlic.dll for few times. install it only when you needed.
2012.01 (Suggest skip) - has some strange issues - even with all the add-ons applied. when use Xentry for some certain car of model, it freeze in "record boundary data" forever in Xentry.
2012.03 (Best so far) - working well in both Xentry / DAS even with base version installed. no strange bug, installation fixed works, DAS standalone works, and DAS special function no password / prototype works.
highly recommend for people who need access both Xentry and DAS cars. but installation is not as easy as 2011.01
2012.07 (Newest version, but not stable)
- I tried to apply all Add-ons but it still has strange issue when diagnose
certain cars in Xentry - it prompts error and shutoff in 20 seconds,
DAS works - but he Xentry parts made me worry about the stability. that is most difficult version for installation so far. 2 DVDs for two separated installation, new protections, (star key center) and solution is not complete yet.
That is all about my personal experience, I hope it can save some of your time when choosing the version. pursue the latest might not be a good
strategy because if it's unstable, it could made thing worse.
