SimpleDiag 13 License (SD13) – Mercedes-Benz Dash Renew
The SimpleDiag 13 tool is for those looking to refresh Mercedes-Benz instrument clusters. It allows you to reset the cluster back to a “virgin state,” which means the kilometers will be set to zero and the drive authorization data will also be reset, breaking the synchronisation between the cluster and the EZS (FBS3 or FBS4).
The software offers several functions, including the ability to read/write eeprom by OBDII or on a bench, renew the IC function, and learn the IC function. All of these functions can be done fully through OBDII, without the need for soldering of an unblocked MCU or dismounting the dash. You no longer have to directly access the PCB to unblock the MCU of the instrument cluster.
The following functions are available in the SD13 software:
- Read/Write eeprom by OBDII or on bench (Also standalone without Gateway on bench for some clusters)
- Renew IC function
- Learn IC function
Fully by OBDII
- No soldering of unblocked MCU
- No dismount of dash
- No longer necessary to unblock the MCU of the instrument cluster directly by accessing the PCB
Additionally, after the renew procedure, the dashboards can be learned with DAS/Xentry. The new LCD clusters can be powered up on a bench, allowing you to see a real-time display while working.

Video demonstration of SimpleDiag 13 (SD13) – Mercedes-Benz Dash Renew:
Steps to use the SD13 tool – Mercedes-Benz Dash Renew:
- Connect dash with diagnostic – make sure you see active diagnostic variant
- See the software versions of dashboard
- See the state of the dash
- See the state of the dash
- See the read of trip mileage
- See main mileage of dash
- Use Simplediag MB dash renew software
- Use the function ‘’Read EEPROM’’ before and safe dump for back up, then click ‘’Renew IC’’ and start procedure.
- Make sure you choose the correct car & software and everything will be done automatically.
- Let the software read all the needed memory for the process and wait until the software writes the needed memory areas back.
Video demonstration of SimpleDiag 13 (SD13) – Instrument Cluster Renew:
Steps to use the SD13 tool – Instrument Cluster Renew:
- Read the original EEPROM from the cluster
- Successfully read EEPROM from the cluster and it is good to save it to have the original.
- Once the cluster is in ‘virgin state’’ the kilometres are zero and drive authorisation is also reset.
- Learn IC function adapts the cluster to the car
