What tool would you buy?

[ascrap2003]

I have Smele, Smok Multi, DP4 Comfort Pack "Only Have a few software",
VVDI Prog, Carprog.

What should I add next?

US Market Cars

I do mostly US and Japanese, VW and Some Benz mainly 2003-2012/13 Benz

I could do

DP4 Benz update
Smele 912/9s12 & HC11 adapters
Merscleaner or Abrites Benz For Other Locations Im undecided on this one.
R270
UPA

What you think would be best to do in my case? Im also wanting to start doing BMW and Newer BMW/Benz

Or should I invest in Real Dealer Tools? Both for checking and programming newer vehicle modules such as Ford PCM Total Distance?

I can also use Dealer tools to start a reflash bizz which all my cusomers ask of me.

Your toughts?

Hi.
UPA is not bad...

Some member like CK200 in the US market.
No updates, and price is the same as many years ago. When it was released.
No support.
But it works, sometimes when other tools don't. According to some members here.
