Hi Alex, always learn something new on this channel about my R230, can you tell me if it gives info on the Mercedes parktronic system?
I have a launch now ...used to have a autel. Nigth and day diference for the best. Easy and very intuitive
If someone have problem with connection check if you have enabled USB Debbuging in programmers options - i was sure i had it on but apparently some android update turned it off. Enabling this option resolved problem for me - my phone worked fine with apple cable but didnt connect with dji cable included with the drone or any other cable :)
I use the topdon very similar and more than adequate, yet again a very informative video, many thanks
Thanks mate
:)
Very nicely made video! It got me started. Thank you kindly
Very welcome, I lost other toys I've learnt through my channel to help, so thanks if you subscribed!
Thank you for this video. It has helped narrow down my search for an upgrade to my VGate OBDII code reader. Could you confirm that the X431 Pro Elite covers the Range Rover Evoque 2012 model please and what bidirectional facilities are there for the Evoque? Does it cover the SRS module. How comprehensive is the SRS module, as there are a number of airbags. Do you have to rely on an internet connection for DTC code descriptions, or is it built in, as in my existing code reader?
hi there, I can check for you and find out, I am 99% certain it will cover the SRS module and units.
Thank you ❤
You're welcome 😊
Not working
Does key/immobiliser programming actually work? Can I program a second key with it?
Just came here from some other video, showing key programming for a Toyota with this exact X431. So it looks like it works. It looked pretty easy too. I’m sure you can search for it easily here on UA-cam, you can see for yourself.
Yes, it depends on the car make, for example Mercedes you wine be able to, but other cars you can programme keys. Some cars use a code that came with car such as Fiat .
Hello mate just watched the vid . Really enjoyed it. Just wanted to ur advice because one of my clips to attach the grille is broken so what would u recommend?
@@adambadat1974 hi there, I had the exact same issue, in the video I used banding strap, or use similar, try using some good epoxy or id you can some small screws as well on the inside. If all else fails and you are not that handy, you could use tie wraps 😉

Hi Groove On, I really like your videos and I need some explaination over de steering wheel function. I'm an owner of a SL500 2003 and when I tried this function it ask for a road test and i'm stuck with with it since then. The ((ABS)) symbol steel light up and I can't erase the road test code with the iCarSoft. Please help....
Du bist so Krass!!! Die Action steht in 2 Tagen vor mir und es kraut mir echt schon davor! Du hast das so klasse gemacht vielen dank für das Video es war eine richtig gute Arbeit.

Is there a fuse or relay to check for the upper window latch?
no help for me! i click upload file and it doesnt change, the save button doesnt light up and it says file is not an image. its a gif image, 375 kb, please offer me a suggestion
Sir you are a wealth of information. Thanks for sharing. Just bought a used 2012 SL550 (still an R230 in Canada) and look forward to seeing all your tips!
@@CV-wo3qm lovely car week done, let me know if you need help
Hi There - I was just watching this video and I wanted to share some more key fob tricks. With my R230 if you press the open button twice all the windows roll down. Press the close button three times all the windows go back up. Press the open button three times, the vario roof opens. Press the lock button three times, the vario roof closes. pretty neat huh...
@@FrederickEsiri if only, they don't work for me, I think you have the smart roof module add on install mate
@@GrooveOn possibly...mine is the Sports package.. I want to change the Command system to a newer system with back up camera wifi, bluetooth etc but i still want to retain that old look on the dash. Any suggestions sir...
@@FrederickEsiri I have all of the items apart from camera, using a Mr 12v module. You can get units that look retro still ua-cam.com/video/FCCMRnVwk5U/v-deo.html to ua-cam.com/video/KV0eL6yb5WY/v-deo.html
@@GrooveOn Hi sorry for the late response, If i get the items from you, do you have a step by step video i can follow to install. Like Installation for Dummies....
Yes they handle well in corners. but If you are looking for comfort in these cars lol forget it and look for something else. Engines are bulletproof reliable but suspension parts are made out of tin foil 😂 and the car. You will feel each & every single bumps, potholes, wind noise on the road. Save ur money & go for german its not all about engine relibility. comfort that counts too
how do you put it the cast button on laptop
Hey are those red 10g wire dont become hot?
My engine light came on after putting it high and I put it lowest setting but it’s still on checked the code it says it’s a problem with sensor what should I do I’ve reset to factory settings on the box
@@Padhmode unplug it and use normal maf, it will sort itself after a while and turn off engine light
@@GrooveOn what if I just clear the code ?
@@Padhmode sure, you can do that too, may take a few tries
@@Padhmode ua-cam.com/video/mf5CB-obWpA/v-deo.html

To get a decent one in Poland it costs close to 7-9k. It’s a great car but not worth this much.

How can i program a key from ebay i have a scanner otofix d1 lite
@@asankovlogs there is no possible way I'm afraid. Mercedes keys have to be bought from Germany via chassis details
@@GrooveOn there is option for the scanner. No is not necessary to buy from dealer!!!
Supert :) ty
@@olemarthinsen2948 very welcome, subscribe!
So, if the trunk closes automatically and locks, then the actuator is okay, but if the trunk closes and locks, but there is still a gap and the rear tail lights don't line up (2022 C-class coupe), then more likely, the pull-down motor needs replacing? (unless there is a fuse (maybe 213) that is the problem? If I put some pressure on the closed trunk/boot, the tail lights align and there are no gaps. Thanks for your videos.
What you can do is try adjusting the 2 bolts holding the latch try going one way back or forth and see if it gets better or worse
Hi my engine is not making this sound why do you have any information about that
25:1 fuel/oil mix….? I’ve only ever know chain saws, bush cutters/strikers to be 50:1 or 40:1..
Is this scanner showing for Mercedes benz the starfinder code?
Do you mean which emblem? Go by the chassis code
@@GrooveOn no star finder code its from a to z
Bought the launch scan tool off ebay from the official launch seller, wanted the elite they sent i believe is a lpwer version was told the elite version i wanted has cosmetic damage , not available. Was curious about launch, now not so much think i will look elsewhere
Hmm surely I would send back if it's used. The link I had was for Amazon
Had my actuator done under warranty and have just turned on keyless to find that door doest unlock/lock car but all others do. Maybe they put in the wrong actuator 😂
make sure you ask them and show them my video, they need to ensure it has the keyless function mate
incredible video, amazing thank you ever so much liked and subscribed you are a star D :0)

so to make it work use an older phone? Man I hope not.
@@stephensutton6759 just check your phone can connect and send data via the port
If you have problem with connection check if you have enabled USB Debbuging in programmers options - enabling it resolved my problem with it
Thanks so much for posting this video. My blowers were stuck on full blast, the blowers-off button didn’t work, I had to remove the fuse to make it stop. After fitting a new heater resistor it works again. (79330-S6M-941 from Jap service parts) Things to note: I snapped the panel trying to bend it to get to the bottom screw. Not sure how it comes off. Took one clip off but think half the gear surround needs removing to do it without snapping
Literally one of the worst ways to remove a steering wheel
