The "Device not in use" error may due to the following three reasons:

1 The link between the diagnosis multiplexer and the diagnostic socket is interrupted.
2 The link between the diagnosis multiplexer and the diagnostic unit is interrupted
3 The voltage supply at the diagnostic socket (circuit 30 and (or) circuit 32) is faulty

Please seek help to starshop technical support. The commom reason is on account of the third reason.

Solution:

Because SD C4 is using static IP address to carry out wireless diagnosis, so users please reset the IP address in Windows XP network connection.

Result:

The SD icon showed number 5 with an open padlock. Xentry and DAS software worked well immediately. Go so far as to multiplexer took me more time to display nice.
