When you work with Mercedes cars before 2004 release, it may automatically run diagnostic application HHTWIN (the program is outdated, primitive appearance), and diagnostics will be partially or fully be performed in this program. HHTWIN can work in German or English language. By default the program starts in German.

To switch application HHTWIN in English language you need to :

open the text editor the following files :

C:\windows\HHTWIN.ini (from 09.2012 file in this directory is missing)

C:\USERDATE\config\HHTWin

F:\userdate\config\HHTWin

Find it in the file lines:

SPC=00
SPCN=00
SPCP=00
SPCE=00
SPCD=00
SPCV=00

To install the English language correct line:

SPC=02
SPCN=02
SPCP=02
SPCE=02
SPCD=02
SPCV=02

If you want to make a language selection at startup NNT change strings on

SPC=
SPCN=
SPCP=
SPCE=
SPCD=
SPCV=
When you run the NNT will appear the language selection window.

This feature only works on HHT for cars.
The Sprinter, Vito and trucks default remains German. In them the system language selection is not working.

If the system has already been saved license keys for Xentry DAS, but for some reason require re-saving in some cases you cannot save the new keys without removing the old. Deleting keys is performed by removing the files lic_key (DAS\WIS) and lic_key_2 (Xentry) located along the way: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\.
