    Default Mercedes diagnostic tools

    Hello,

    I want to expand my garage to cover MB cars, but I have no idea what equipment i need to diagnose them... Typical work means change injector coding, clear errors, etc. Match immobilizer (if possible) Change ECU etc.

    I have read about Xentry, Das, MB Star but there are so much information out there

    What tools do you recommend ? Can someone tell me the biggeste differences between these tools?

    Thanks a lot in advance

    These are all basically the same thing.. this is dealer level equipment.. just have to decide on which interface to purchase c3, c4 or c5 if you have a big enough budget and wanna do the latest cars out..

    not only that, there is also no manuel for star/xentry device.
    so to learn work with it is to test on car.
    and if it break then your scr..d.

    True, BUT that kind of equipment is NOT intended to be used by anyone, but only by qualified and trained professionals.....and they do not make mistakes easy

    Mercedes Xentry has simulation programs that do not need vehicle to use it for learning.

    if you want to buy a scanner for mercedes, best buy is "good quality" SD Connect (aka C4).
    The price is around euro 600. A good quality one is very important, usually doesn't use serial 101044 .
    don't buy fake C5 (SD Connect with C5 case). it is use bad quality C4 boards.

    Part D (aka C3) can be used to diagnose up to 2012 for passenger car and don't wise to buy it.
    Xentry Connect (aka C5) is very expensive.

    Hi Guys!

    I am new here, and I have a thing I was thinking about. I have a w124 0m606, but do not know if there is diagnostic system in this car. It is from 94. I do not see any connections inside.
