Well i am thinking of going for VVDI MB + VVDI PROG EIS ADAPTOR SET (for AKL)

i get enquires for around 5 mercedes per month and turning all away at the moment as i dont have any coverage for mercedes.

Always thought VVDI MB kit as the daddy for price & performance - but then don't know CGDI.

Hay -
You will struggle to do jobs without opening up EZS my friend. Nothing is too easy

Poldiag advertised that can do some models without opening
