Your video is more than fantastic. Like you I am a Mercedes guy and have two Mercedes and one more member of the family also has two Mercedes. I am a fanatic guy of the Diesel Mercedes. Actually I own two Mercedes Diesel: one SD 1982 and one E320 Bluetec. 2008. What call my attention to look for this kind of video is because I just bought a ThinScan S01 and want know better in how to use it. Recently I had a problem with my DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) and had it replaced but my engine light still ON and, like you said, the generic scanners show as "DPF restriction, as it was before replacement. Someone told me that I need to bring the car to a dealer to have the code cleared. Dealers will not do the code clean only, they want to replace the entire system and it cost more than $4K . I also have a fuel gauge problem but the generic scanners will not even find this issue. Expecting getting these issues resolved I bought the tool. Finding what is the issue I can do the job myself because I have a good knowledge in cars. Thanks for posting this very nice video.
Thank you so much for the nice comments I appreciate it! I aim to educate in my videos the common misconceptions of tryin to diagnose a Mercedes-Benz, I am glad you liked it thank you for reaching out!
Wow! Thanks for this. At last, someone that knows what his talking about and genuinely wants to help people. With motor vehicles the way they are today being so complicated we the consumer are at the mercy of the mechanic and the company they work for. I'm old school, and drive a 1964 model car, l also have a late model Mercedes Benz 220C and only because l promised myself l would have one when l was 12 years old. Now l need a device to tell me when there is a problem, and what it is, then l need to learn how to use it. Now l know how mechanics suck money out of the customer's pockets. I'm going to sell the Benz and keep the old car, it's so simple to maintain and it never breaks down. My horse needs more maintenance than it dose. I'll stay in the past thanks, and with my four speed manual gear box and 308 V8 with timing gears, Holly, crow cam, extractors and regular oil and filter changes it will out last anything else on the road. And the value increases every year, what cost me $2,000 is now valued at $60,000.
Great & helpful video for independent minded. 2006 S500 purchased from auction has electrical issues from rebuilt. Plan on making it a show car & want to get it right before putting it on big stage! Thanks for info!
The iCarsoft should be standard issue with every Benz (just kidding). Still, I have two Mercedes and one in each car. They are small enough to fit in the glove box or other storage and can save you a trip to the dealer, where you'll pay over half as much just to scan and read codes once. I think you can also deactivate the SBC controller on cars with SBC, which is nearly mandatory if you are going to work on the brakes. But it won't let you activate the rodeo sequence in ABC cars.
I always joked that the V12 should always come with a code scanner cause they always misfire on startup. Also to deactivate the SBC simply unplug it, done. I have done that so many times with no issue. Saves the time of using a scanner or the turn signal method.Thanks, Lou
Maybe I missed what you said in the video but I didn't notice you telling us a model number for each scanner, if you did please let me know and I will try to go back to that part of the video
I did not specify. I used the actron for the first one. the icarsoft mb II for the second, the launch x431 and then the mercedes star diagnosis . I hope that helps. Lou
Can the icarsoft reset control modules? For example, if I have a code for the trans on my e55 and install a new conductor plate, will the icarsoft clear the code and reset the tcu so it doesn't keep throwing the same code?
Yes the icarsoft will. Basically any scanner that can read the transmission control module will do that. The scanners usually are labeled “all systems”
So what scanner would you use for W211 e55 amg sbc brake system after I replace the lines and the pads now I need the actuator to do each side, what would be the best one for that and also to actuate the airbags and all the stuff on that car
Checkout my other videos especially the a30m and air suspension video. As for the sbc, I always just used a pressure bleeder with the sbc disconnected. Im not sure how many aftermarket scanners will do the sbc bleed activation.
Hi I have a w204 C250 .... I recently installed a small unit to the Comand to give me CarPlay access which is working great except that aux is not activated. I tried going into the engineering mode of comand to activate it by first turning off the MOST but it’s seem to cut off the audio even when I turn MOST back on. I have ended up going to the dealership twice to have the comand reset costing bucks .... which of the scanners can I buy to reset comand on my own. Apparently it has to have the xentry
I have a 2010 e550 with front driver side loosing air after sitting for a few hours to at times many hours - is the icarsoft able to check airmatic fault codes?? Many thanks and great video...very easy to digest ;)
Hi.. thanks so much for reaching out like you are. I have an 03 E500 w211. Bought it like 2 mos. ago. It seems something is draining my battery. Main and aux are both good. Funny you mentioned Auto Zone because I went there specifically to check the basics and knowing batt. is fine, wanted to see about ruling out alternator and voltage regulator. I had enough charge on battery for them to run it . They said both are good. If that's the case , I know there are other things it could be but. I'm thinking a short somewhere. The term parasitic drain and how to detect where it's coming from has numerous videos that I watched. So my thoughts/questions are: Is an auto shop that hooks your car to a diagnostic machine and charges 140.00, is it a type of check that shows the source of the problem if it's a short or a feature in the car that stays on and I'm not aware of which particular one it is, I think I'm trying to ask what you would recommend as a next step or maybe type of scan to do. The symptoms are, that the the car won't usually start after a day of not much or any driving. When I drive like 80 miles to visit friends in LA it will stay good for about four days. When it gets closer to losing battery power it does two things. I know it probably won't start the next time I try when it has a very tiny but noticeable drag or lagging in the startup. So it starts but with that kinda lag.. Second sign is the battery pic shows in cluster with message malfunction consumer battery switched off. Unless I drive a good distance and put a good charge back on it, it won't start up next time I try. When it charges for the message will disappear.b I am sooooo sorry this is long and drawn out but I am so appreciative of the feedback, advice,etc. It's awesome and I will give back when opportunity to do so comes. Thx, penny
penny brown so sorry on the delay. The parasitic draw test is tedious but it will help find your issue if you do have something drawing excess amperage at rest. A “diagnostic” test will not show a draw. It only shows fault codes. And you will never have a fault code stating there is a draw. Hope this helps. Lou
@@MasterTechLou Hello.. Yes thanks so much ..It does help me to get an understanding of the differences of what could be going on with it.. Randomly , people will say , "it sounds like a short somewhere.." Then I think about a short vs. a draw, and the symptoms I'm having, which is a dead battery every few days. And it seems as though I only get message in the cluster , "malfunction , electrical consumers switched off, " as the battery begins to lose more of its power . and that seems to happen when I'm not driving it enough to keep putting a good charge on it.I'm wondering if, based on what the car is doing and if I explained it ok, what you may recommend as my next step.. thank you very much for your input..Very appreciated, Penny
Did you ever find the fix or what was wrong I have the exact same issues, 03 E500 w211.. any help is appreciated. I actually have the foxwell NT520 pro with mercedes aftermarket software on the scanner. Does a lot but not exactly dealership level. No coding. Minimal bi-directional functions. And doesnt read a couple modules I believe. Aside from that it's pretty good and taps into a lot of the modules. Definetley above basic level.
@Oyeniyi Bukola Adeyemi wow..sorry..I just saw this.Did you send a link? I have an issue with my front driver seat, too so if you can I would like to check that link..thx
I bought a Foxwell 510NT Elite after watching this video. I would like to test the pressure output on the ABC pump in my 2005 Mercedes SL500 using this scan tool. Can I run this test with the Foxwell? Any idea where I can find "how to" directions? I appreciate the work you do.
Thank you for the nice comments. There is no pressure test you can do. All you can do is run the car and check the live value of the ABC pressure sensor. These pumps either have pressure or they don’t. There really is no in between. So, if you don’t have a warning on your dash or a fault code, Then your pressure is most likely fine.
I wanted to add that I found a video with the procedure to run the Rodeo with the Foxwell 510NT Elite. If it can display the ABC pump pressure I'm sure it is going to come from a display that is from the same route used to get to the Rodeo.
Thanks for the great video. I have some questions: - Do you know what the difference is between the iCarsoft MB V2.0 and the MB II? - If I were to buy a multibrand diagnostic tool, which one do you advise?
George the v2.0 has a few more features for diesels, but is still limited. I can advise on a scanner but it all depends on your goals shoot me an email at diagnosisunlimited gmail
Benz-Tech Lou P. yeah, just to read out any error codes, write them down as you suggest and to reset them, check again after a test drive. Just to prevent that the garage will come up with repairs I haven’t asked for. Sometimes I want to read out cars of others, so that’s why I asked for a multibrand one. For now I think I will go for the CR Pro, unless you’ll tell me it won’t cover some features the MB II or V2.0 have.
Nice bud, love mb vids! Did you see my other comment or did it got to your spam filter.. If you have time look into my channel and check the video with the buzzing sound you may know the fix!?
Got a '14 c250 1.8, with a check engine light. The issue is when passing another car, the car feels like it loses turbo pressure. I can pull over, shut off/start the car and it's fine, until I attempt WOT again. I think it may be the hp fuel pump, but which scantool would point me in the right direction?
I am looking for a scanner that can reset the sbc for my W211 E350 4matic. I recently purchase a iCarsoft MB II (sent it back) and it did not seem to complete the reset of the brakes. I also have a LAUNCH OBD2 Scanner CRP129X, that seems to work well on my other vehicles, but not so well on the Mercedes. Do you have a recommendation for what scanner will work on most of the modules for this vehicle? I purchase the vehicle and found out many things that need repair. I have done several of them myself, but have trouble trying to reset the error codes. I ended up taking it to a dealer to reset the brake code, they said my scanner just wasn't able to complete the reset. I would rather spend the money on something I can use more than once than have them do it. Thanks for your advice in advance.
HELP! My headache…2016 E350. Originally getting error codes for Cam Position Sensors. Took care of the oil pressure (and cleaned) fresh factory oil and filter. Getting Actuator codes and even a misfire…all on Bank 2. My question: Do ai need a MB Star Tester to actuate the variable timing (or verify it is working properly? MIL flashes at higher ROM’s and idles rough. When the A/C is turned on, it almost stalls. Launch Scanner or MB Star?
@@MasterTechLou It’s showing BOTH sensors and actuators on one bank only, which I find odd. I can’t imagine both intake and exhaust actuators would fail at the same time.
It looks just like a rebranded foxwell, or icarsoft. Like just a midlevel all systems scanner. And all scanners work that way where the software is up to date then they give you 1-2 years free updates then updates stop but functionality is still there.
@@meblake7359 I have 3 launch scanners and none lose functionality. In fact the only ones I have seen lose functionality personally are the matco and snap on ones. I have a LOT of scanners after doing youtube for some time and they all still function you just wont get Updates.
@@MasterTechLou The problem with scanners is if they break. Do you know of a pc scanner software that can do everything the autel does? I know Forscan is free and comprehensive but only for Fords.
Hello Lou I have questions, my ml bluetec 350 2010, and have scan tool carsoft model i980 ,I have in the screen coming up when I start the car " adblue check additive see operator,s Manuel 1 message, be able look in the exhaust and def system, not be able isolated the trouble, and can't erase " adblue check additive " witch scanner you advise to me ,please let me know, thanks
well, thats not a fault. thats a message to add some more DEF fluid. in your 2010 your def tank cap should be in your spare tire area if memory serves me, if not its next to your fuel filler cap. The blue cap is where you will fill the def fluid calld adblue the tank only holds 7 gallons so you may only need to fill 5 or so.
Lou ,I wish was simple fill up , but had low on def ,fill up still issues ,showing you can start 20 times ,there was more to the def trouble, the upstream Knox sensor replace ,that 20 times start was in the mean 12 timers ,testing trouble shoot ,that is solve now,, with my carsoft i980 I can't test the def system properly, what is best option to have better scanner, please let me know ,and thanks for answering the other messages.
@@arendvoortman361 you really dont have to have a expensive scanner for this car. When you fill the def you turn the ignition on and wait 2 min and the message will go off before you start the car. If you have more faults you basically most times have to replace the part that the fault is for and then drive the car for 30 Min at highway speeds and the codes will self clear. If you try to clear codes, it will go into tamper mode and now the dealer has to do the clearing with the dealer scanner.
I need your help! Can I use the icarsoft to read which actuator is bad in my ac/heater system? Mechanic said its one of the actuators that let the hot air. Im getting no heat into my cabin. They confirmed the heat works but nothing comes in. 2010 s550 4matic
No the icarsoft will not help with that. Because it cannot activate anything, only read live data and you need something to activate the heater valves and then watch the live data.
Lou i have a old Autel DS708 is it worth upgrade to newest? I saw a Launch pro elite x431... Btw my old DS708 has 38 pin connector... but wonder if newest scanner has it...
I got the icarsoft found out I had to change out the drivers front abs sensor. I did tried to clear it know I get Operational check for component b24/15 Rotary speed sensor and lateral Acceleration sensor
I have a 2010 Mercedes c300 and a 2016 GMC Acadia. Would the Icarsoft Pro cover both vehicles? Does it have bidirectional ability? My head is spinning with all the different brands and features! Thank you.
It will cover both models but I do Not believe it has bi direction capabilities. You would need the v3.0 and from my understanding you can order them with 3 manufacturers loaded up. And can purchase more if needed. Seems they are all going the ala carte way. Where you pay for what you want.
Hello! Im currently looking for an Bi-directional OBD2 scanner tool for my Mercedes, but i also own other brands. Would you happen to know a tool that's able to do some good scanning a testing on MB, plus other brands? Id like to go a little above entry level, let's say between 350$ and 600$. Hope you can help me out
Hi Lou. great video thanks for sharing. I got SLK 230 2000 50,000 kilometres cannot clear code p0100 state : (Historic) using icarsoft MB v1.0 of course don’t have any issues with the engine just wanted to know the better type of scanner might do the job. Thanks in advance
When we clear codes we have to do the erase and then turn the ignition off for about 15 seconds, also if the code will not clear its possible the fault is current so it will not clear. But trying another scanner may help.
Dude, you described me! My ML320 started going into limp mode and I used one of the generic orange obd scanners, actually the little brother of the one in this vid, and got P0600 and P0720 codes. The general consensus on the forums led me to replace the conductor plate. Symptoms didn't change, which is when I started looking at scanners. I decided on the the Star Diagnostic System. I received it today and I plan on putting it to work tomorrow. Wish I had found this vid before doing a bunch of research on which scanner I needed - it would've saved me a lot of time. Blew my mind when you described exactly what I had done when I replaced the conductor plate! I also watched the other vid on how to use the Xentry system. Thanks for 2 excellent videos. Liked and subscribed.
My next video should enlighten the mercedes world and solve the mysteries and dissolve the rumors of how to fix certain issues. I had to make this video, working online people don’t know the difference and its hard to explain via text. Glad you felt this!
So, they are not knock off. They are unlocked Mercedes benz scanners. They do everything but programming and software updates since you need to be logged into mercedes dealer servers with permissions
Thanks for the great comparison. This really shows what you get for your money. While Xentry would be an amazing option, I don't think it would be suited for a home DIYer, especially if you maintain vehicles from multiple manufacturers. For a system like the Launch, how deep does it go? Can you actually do things like resetting transmission adaptations or even updating the software on various modules, or does that require Xentry level capability?
Autel is better for what youre askin but launch is the same software as matco . Launch or autel would be my preferred scanners. Especially since they do multiple cars.
Thanks mate. I'm trying to sort brake pedal issues with a w202 C280 instead of going ahead and replacing perfectly good components in the suspicion that these are buggered or wrong like we used to do. Seems simple, but dear me, ascertaining source issue for an ABS error light on an early system is like asking a GP if Neanderthals clipped their toenails.. things move quickly tech wise...people are ready to label what you are working with as old and unsupported. BTW your video is exactly what I was after. Yes you need to polish up but your intent and content is excellent and I want to support you in this.

Great video, explaining the different levels of capability of each scanner. Obviously, price and features will dictate what DIYers will buy. The iCarsoft scanner is one that I am contemplating, but various reviews from actual purchasers seem to show one thing in common, and that is lack of sufficient support (no returned calls or emails from the manufacturer). And some have complained that their particular model of MB is not listed. Can you comment? Would also like to see you make a comparison among scanners costing between 100 and 150 dollars, if you would be so interested. Thanks.
Ted thanks for reaching out sir. I will tell you that a lot of scanners do show the models its the lack of knowledge on the user end. The scanner is 10% of the equation, the user is the other 90%. Also Ted, if you are in the USA, send me your email. I would like to GIVE you a Icarsoft MBV2.0 . If that is what you are seeking. Brand new. No strings attached. Diagnosisunlimited@gmail.com Thanks for viewing my friend. Lou
also, I have been in contact with iCarsoft on any issues I have noted, they have been good with communication. But its like trying to steer a meteoroid. It takes time. they update as they can, these things are reverse engineered. so there will be some lack of function and usability. but for the price. and what they can do, they are a great medium between someone like yourself the avid do it yourselfer and a knowledgeable tech like myself to get you where you need to be. If that answers the question. and I will look into doing some comparison for sure. Thanks again. Lou
Where can I message you about info and how to properly diagnose my 2011 Smart Fortwo 451 Pure. I’ve had it for 3 years (used). One day it just started idling rough. Changed Coil Packs, Spark, the generic stuff. It’s been idling rough for over a year and the engine hasn’t blown up.
The "CONTACT" page on the www.cartechconnect.com site doesn't work.....keeps getting an error. So I thought I would post the question here. Which MBstar tool is used in the comparison video of scanners? Is it a stand alone item as seen in the video? They have several variations at MBstartool.com. Thanks. Just found the site. I'll be joining (if they can fix the "contact" form). Is the fee an annual / monthly / lifetime fee? Not really clear. Thanks again.
@@GorGBoi I have the launch X431. I am not sure about other models, as for the autel, the 808 or 906 (i could be mistaken) should be similar. I wish I could say what you SHOULD buy, just do your homework and see which one is best for you.
Hi.. Ihave a SLK230 1998 with 38 pin obd port. How to connect my scanner (Launch 429C) ? I know that is adapter is needed, but i dont know how works. Can you help me?
If you know there is an adapter needed then you know how it works. I don’t understand the question. The adapter plugs into the end of the scanner 16pin to make it 38 pin. Make sure to buy a good brand as a recent fellow said his cheap one would not connect so we assumed it was a scanner issue. It was a cable issue.
@@MasterTechLou exactly... I need an adapter, but i donk know what type will work with my launch scanner. I bought a cheaper adapter chinese but no works. My hope is that you know what adapter will work on Launch scanner 🙂
Great video! Thank you so much!!I'm looking for a tool that works on Mercedes as well as BMW. Will the icarsoft EU pro do everything the icarsoft MB II does? What about icarsoft CR Pro? Which Launch model do you recommend?
Hi,I got a launch 134x and not very hapy with it ,can you recomen mi one from the best autel becouse they are many to chose from £100 to £1300 here in UK thanks
Great video, thank you....So I have a 2015 Sprinter and I am looking for a code reader can you give me some idea as to which one would be go for ABS, ESP etc. under $1,000.oo...I know its a loaded question...LOL
You have to order the key from mercedes and there isnt any programming other than starting the car, turning it off then holding lock and pressing unlock 5 times. I am pretty sure thats the method but if its a single button you just start it shut it off and press the button to learn it. If memory serves
Great video. What are some ideas on how to clear the Teleaid sos defective message on an 04 s430? Do you think that the icarsoft scanner can erase that message?
somatra52 most dont understand that clearing a code doesnt mean fixing an issue. This scanner can read and clear codes, but there are extra steps needed to fix the tele aid or eliminate it. Lou
@@MasterTechLou I don't want it fixed I just want that message to stop popping up every time I cut on the car. Teleaid sos on an 04 is analog signal and I don't want to convert it into digital.
After replacing the battery in the trunk and under the hood, the power windows and mirror adjustment MB W221 3.5L 2006 stopped working. Please tell me if it is possible to fix this with Launch X431, i.e. to update the TSG block from a freeze or is only Xentry DAS, Vediamo needed for this? Thank you for your reply!
You don’t need a scanner for this, you need to relearn your windows and sunroof however this model usually retains memory. Might have blown a fuse for the drivers door module if other windows work from their switches. Could also be coincidence because the power wire likes to break in the door jamb where it bends.
I have a 99 clk430 w208 stick in limp mode. I am having the hardest time finding a tool to diagnose/ reset the transmission codes. I bought the icarsoft mb2 but it doesn’t even have the clk430 as an option in the diagnostic setting. It will read generic codes from the obd2 port but that’s not helping. The only definite recommendation is the carsoft 7.4 multiplexer with 36 pin connector When I try to find one the only places that claim to have it is like wish or Ali express…. 🤫 I don’t particularly trust that. Any advice or suggestions, reasonably priced recommendations?!
Clk is 208 chassis, the icarsoft should have that? You need the adapter from the 16 pin to the 36 pin in the engine bay. No matter what scanner you use. But I thought the mbII has 208, if not might wanna get a v3,0 or foxwell or xtool
You wont be able to program anything . You will have to have the dealer do that . Its a process to go through to have access to programming. It costs thousands and is only worth it if you are a shop.
Hello, I have a 2003 SL500 MB my ABC malfunction signal is up since I changed the engine oil and restarted the car when i had it on stands and not on the ground. I noticed an drop and ever since the ABC light is on. previously when driving the RED light would come on and go away but now the warning is up (not the red light, this still come on occasionally) I have purchased the flush toll AGA toll, and plan on doing a flush once i receive this item. I also have the iCarsoft MBii, my question is: as i have seen various videos i will need to warm up the fluid and have the car pumping fluid to the 4 wheel while draining and replacing the fluid, does the icarsoft have the capability to do this function? i basically use it to detect codes and other malfunctions, Please let me know how to best ensure i don't make matters worse. regards Jorge
Hello Jorge, the only thing the icarsoft will be able to do is erase any codes. it will not perform rodeo or any movements to help circulate the fluid. But you can simply have a helper that is pressing the raise and lower button to help circulate the fluid, but I would not flush the fluid until you know what code is in the abc module with the icarsoft. Lou
I need help with my car. Mercedes doesn’t want to work on my car because I worked on it myself after a crash. I can’t get it to start. Reads 2805 code in German with my generic scanner. What should I do?
Sorry they wont help you. You already seem to know the answer. Youll need a better scanner. A no start is actually pretty easy to figure out if you know the process. Only a handful of reasons why a Mercedes will not start.
Its like 17k a year as you have to lease their machines and then they provide you with close to dealer access. You can find this out at www.startekinfo.com
When you consider that computers are getting cheaper ,And that a scan tool can cost £200 pounds ,surely new cars should have their own scan tools built in, with the car regularly ,going through its own scanning schedule,
What tool do u recommend for working on metris vans? For programming modules, enable restart after crash. I heard the starter need flashed after replacement. I've never heard of that.
The mercedes star diagnosis is what is used for the metris just like the sprinter. However you wont be able to program modules only the dealer can. I hear scanners like autologic can but I dont have experience with those
Thanks Fred, this video is to help those that dont understand the difference and need to make an educated decision on purchasing a scan tool for themselves. I hope you laughed when you typed your statement and it made you feel good.
Well. “Unlocking” features is in most models a function of turning on or off a coding setting but it also matters if the car is equipped. Like we had a customer that added every European option to his base C class and we would just turn the setting to “present” in the gateway module. So you have to know if the car is even equipped with such features you wish to turn on. Like in my grand caravan I was able to turn on the video display in the front when in park. So it all depends. Coding is the same as what you are asking. Programming is only an option with some high dollar scanners. But there’s still a limit on modules it can program. So like launch, high end autel, autologic, and few other tablet/laptop style scanners can do that but nothing will ever be better than the oem scanners which you can find bootleg ones of every manufacturer somewhere. I hope that helps, its just a loaded question with so many variables.
Hello, I am planning to buy either Autel or launch or any tool to use them on w221 2007, w140 1996 and others like toyota prado 2013? What do you recommend 200~750$? Thankz
Great video thanks for the share. i have a shop in western montana and the benz owners are all around. i have a c4 scanner and a Panasonic laptop with xentry on it, my ? is the evc7 just a tablet xentry software on it or is it a newer software. thank you for your help
Hello and thanks! Its the same stuff just on a tablet. The software can be used on multiple computers. I just opted for the evg7. Or whatever its called :)
The pro is the best bang for the buck if you are going to work on other cars. You do not lose functionality. Its a good tool for the price for sure. Thanks,Lou
Not quite true but not false either. One is a reverse engineered product to some degree and the other is from the factory that made the vehicle. From what I understand xentry will be better however Icarsoft make pretty good products that should do most of what any of us require.
I have a 1998 slk 230 and replaced the conductive plate and 32 pin connection plug and i am still getting the p0715 and p0720 code. I purchased the Icarsoft mb 11 scanner and aftermarket 38 to 16 pin adapter but the scanner will only do the basic generic scanning under the hood or dash connection.. Does the codes need to be cleared from the tcu to get the car out of limp mode..I have owned this car for over 7 years and never had a problem with the auto trans ..the check engine just came on and went into limp mode.. Do I need to purchase the icarsoft 38 to 16 pin adapter..
I dont know what you mean by “code” but none of them Most likely can because it needs programmed and only the dealer and or European shops that pay for access can do it.
Benz-Tech Lou P. Boy… I sure would have appreciated a technical answer to these questions of mine! I probably wouldn’t be asking these questions if I had a garage my own and made a living fixing other peoples cars, but, I’m a bit of a car guy and the better I get at diagnosing and maintaining certain vehicles the more of them that I flip. So while I don’t make a living fixing cars, I do try to make a few extra dollars by focusing on certain high-quality dependable vehicles and making a little money through that expertise. Does that help?

VERY WELL DONE, VERY WELL EXPLAINED. I THANK YOU AND NOW am confident and smarter because of your info. i now can saywith confidence why whch scanner is which and why and what it does and the price thank you
I’m planning on getting the icarsoft mb II because I’m trying to erase a transmission code that is stored on the tcm of my mercedes( car won’t shift at all, stuck in one gear). But i wanted to make sure that this scanner , if the problem is fixed, will it clear or erase the codes in the module?
Yes I am confident it will., But if you have an older mercedes where the body style didnt end until 2000's then you may need the adapter to go from the 16-38 pin in the engine bay. used on cars like 210 170 202 208 so make sure you do your homework. Lou
@@MasterTechLou Thanks for the info! It’s a G400 CDI , W463 chassis first gen so it was continued till 2018 . No port located around the engine bay to my knowledge and based on my researches. Anyways once i get it , i’ll be glad to post any update here.
Hi there, enjoyed your video. I m getting ready to change the pads and rotors on my 2004 E500, which of course has the SBC brake system. I have seen several people that have used a Foxwell NT520 with the Mercedes Software loaded that have used it to deactivate the SBC and then reactivate after the brake work. It will also activate the brake bleeding function. I don't want to spend over $200 for the scan tool. I have owned this car since new. It has 103,000 miles. I am getting ready to replace the valve cover gaskets and while at it, replace the spark plugs and spark plug wires. I never have had the transmission fluid changed. I may have to do that soon as well. So, what are your thoughts? Thanks, Tom
Okie-Tom so all you need to do is unplug the sbc module. Once you do that you can work on the brakes with no worries. Also you can bleed the brakes with no worries. Once done reconnect the sbc, start car. Warnings may pop up. No worries. Pump pedal about 20 times. Shut car off, repeat. It is setting the pads against the rotorS. Eventually the warnings will cease and all will be right with the world. Lou
Benz-Tech Lou P. Thanks. I thought it might be good to have a good scan tool that has dedicated Mercedes software in it. You never know when I would need it. The Foxwell NT520 with the Mercedes software looks pretty good. I know it will disable the sbc. Several people have reported they have. Have you ever looked at the Foxwell? One last thing. I bought new rotors and pads for it, but it didn’t come with the new hardware for the front or rear, do you recommend I order the hardware before starting my project? I thank you much. Tom
very nice video. so ive been in and out from shops trying to fix my navigation on my GLK350 2015 it says ..... Map data not match COMAND Please insert map DVD with correct map matirial. PLEASE HELP . ive bought some dvd from ebay but it didnt do anything . i can provide with VIN if that helps .THANKS ALOT. any ideas . some videos show i need an USB update some says DVD .
Plakanais6666 most likely just need a software update from the dealer that is always the first step with audio issues. 90% of audio issues are fixed with software updates.
Hi mate I have a Mercedes SLK 230 1999 model right hand drive. When I go to start the car it comes up start error. The key works to turn the car over it turns over for two or three seconds then shut down. Which the start error appears on the dashboard, I have changed it fuel filter and fuel pump. I have changed the camshaft sensor and crankshaft sensor.. There is spark to the spark plugs. There is fuel to the rail But it still does not start. Have you got any idea what you think it needs as I am stuck. I see you have all the tools and all the knowledge so any information will be greatly appreciated.
Start error is a problem with the immobilizer anti theft system. You either have a bad key, bad transponder around the ignition, or bad das module which means drive authorization. This is hard to test if you do not have a second key. First step is always trying a second key. Hope this helps.
@@MasterTechLou hi mate, just a quick catch up. I got in touch with you about my SLK 230 with a start error on the dashboard the car is now working. I had to send the ECU away and the mobiliser box behind the dashboard to get it opened up so it was deactivated mobiliser and now the car starts. Thank you very much for your info.
Hello I have a issue today a 2003 CL500 my power steering plug hydraulic tandem pump the plug is not getting power can you please send what the power source is coming from I'm also having problems with my hydraulic plungers the car is uneven on all four corners it goes up and down on its own
Great information thanks , what medium quality scan tool do you recommend for bleeding the Mercedes SBC system . Iv been looking on eBay at a few Star Diagnostic scan tools for around the £1000 mark , I live in the UK . I’m only a private car builder and collector and I don’t want to go too mad. Thanks again mate 👍
Hello, actually you dont need a scanner to bleed the sbc. I just unplug the sbc and use a pressure bleeder. Then reconnect the sbc and pump brakes and cycle ignition until any warnings go away. But I did just review a scanner called vdiagtool and it does the bleed process according to them, I have yet to try it myself. Hope this helps. 😊
@@MasterTechLou . Wow thanks for quick reply, I do appreciate that . Ok thanks I’ll try that , I already have an icarsoft MB scanner so I’ll see how I get on . THANKS! 😎👍
Thanks for the video, its helpful. If I buy factory scanner, and I wanted to replace a module, ie Front SAM, can I do so offline mode or do I need to have the MB login in order to do online? Or what are the options with offline vs online? I'm working on my car only, so I do not have shop.
Hello, you will not be able to program. At least not easily. There are outlets I hear of to be able to program through 3rd party companies through the scanner but I havent seen them personally. There are tools out there that can do this but they are costly. Almost ever high end scanner for any brand. Like autel or xtool or topdon.
@@dejankaran3640 you wouldn’t believe the stories I hear daily…… I get some dealeships and shops can kinda overcharge and what not. But people are spending 3k to avoid a diagnosis fee? Or a program fee of possibly 200$? I think pride and ego are costly these days. I can’t justify it myself as a tech that will work on the side. Its best to make friends with a dealer and tech so they can fill in the blanks when it comes to needing those services. They are far and few between. We dont program all the time. Especially not on the same car. So to justify 3k to save 200$ , thats 10x programming fees……. Very hard to justify
Great video! I have an 05 Cl55 that I’m working on and I want to get a mb star setup for it. I’m working on the locks, soft close doors and everything that goes with that system, and the srs. Which one would you recommend from from the mbstar website?
Thanks Shawn, all the mb star are pretty much the same it is just the package they are offered on. So my quick answer is get the latest and greatest. That will last you for years to come. As for your locks, your pse is most likely bad or you also have a leak in the system that caused it to go bad. Check fuse 62 under the back passenger seat. The PSE is in the upper left corner of the trunk behind the paneling. If you end up needing help hit me up at www.cartechconnect.com I can help you, There are fees but hey, the things I can show you and teach how to diagnose is worth it. I have been doing this for years, thousands of satisfied customers. Thanks, Lou
Your video is more than fantastic. Like you I am a Mercedes guy and have two Mercedes and one more member of the family also has two Mercedes. I am a fanatic guy of the Diesel Mercedes. Actually I own two Mercedes Diesel: one SD 1982 and one E320 Bluetec. 2008. What call my attention to look for this kind of video is because I just bought a ThinScan S01 and want know better in how to use it. Recently I had a problem with my DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) and had it replaced but my engine light still ON and, like you said, the generic scanners show as "DPF restriction, as it was before replacement. Someone told me that I need to bring the car to a dealer to have the code cleared. Dealers will not do the code clean only, they want to replace the entire system and it cost more than $4K . I also have a fuel gauge problem but the generic scanners will not even find this issue. Expecting getting these issues resolved I bought the tool. Finding what is the issue I can do the job myself because I have a good knowledge in cars.
Thanks for posting this very nice video.
Thank you so much for the nice comments I appreciate it! I aim to educate in my videos the common misconceptions of tryin to diagnose a Mercedes-Benz, I am glad you liked it thank you for reaching out!
Wow!
Thanks for this.
At last, someone that knows what his talking about and genuinely wants to help people.
With motor vehicles the way they are today being so complicated we the consumer are at the mercy of the mechanic and the company they work for.
I'm old school, and drive a 1964 model car, l also have a late model Mercedes Benz 220C and only because l promised myself l would have one when l was 12 years old.
Now l need a device to tell me when there is a problem, and what it is, then l need to learn how to use it.
Now l know how mechanics suck money out of the customer's pockets.
I'm going to sell the Benz and keep the old car, it's so simple to maintain and it never breaks down.
My horse needs more maintenance than it dose.
I'll stay in the past thanks, and with my four speed manual gear box and 308 V8 with timing gears, Holly, crow cam, extractors and regular oil and filter changes it will out last anything else on the road.
And the value increases every year, what cost me $2,000 is now valued at $60,000.
Great & helpful video for independent minded. 2006 S500 purchased from auction has electrical issues from rebuilt. Plan on making it a show car & want to get it right before putting it on big stage! Thanks for info!
The iCarsoft should be standard issue with every Benz (just kidding). Still, I have two Mercedes and one in each car. They are small enough to fit in the glove box or other storage and can save you a trip to the dealer, where you'll pay over half as much just to scan and read codes once. I think you can also deactivate the SBC controller on cars with SBC, which is nearly mandatory if you are going to work on the brakes. But it won't let you activate the rodeo sequence in ABC cars.
I always joked that the V12 should always come with a code scanner cause they always misfire on startup. Also to deactivate the SBC simply unplug it, done. I have done that so many times with no issue. Saves the time of using a scanner or the turn signal method.Thanks, Lou
@@MasterTechLou this is super helpful to know. Thank you!!!
Maybe I missed what you said in the video but I didn't notice you telling us a model number for each scanner, if you did please let me know and I will try to go back to that part of the video
I did not specify. I used the actron for the first one. the icarsoft mb II for the second, the launch x431 and then the mercedes star diagnosis . I hope that helps.
Lou
@@MasterTechLou
I guess you can't remember the model number for the first two? Thank you for your reply
Very clear description, thanks.
Checkout my autel video it may help further! Thanks for viewing!
Can the icarsoft reset control modules? For example, if I have a code for the trans on my e55 and install a new conductor plate, will the icarsoft clear the code and reset the tcu so it doesn't keep throwing the same code?
Yes the icarsoft will. Basically any scanner that can read the transmission control module will do that. The scanners usually are labeled “all systems”
I was not sure from the video if you said the transmission could be reset or gotten out of limp mode using the icarsoft MBII tool. Thanks in advance.
Yes this scanner can erase faults which will get the transmission out of limp.
as for which star tool? the newer the better for long term but they all do the same thing just different formats and speeds.
So what scanner would you use for W211 e55 amg sbc brake system after I replace the lines and the pads now I need the actuator to do each side, what would be the best one for that and also to actuate the airbags and all the stuff on that car
Checkout my other videos especially the a30m and air suspension video. As for the sbc, I always just used a pressure bleeder with the sbc disconnected. Im not sure how many aftermarket scanners will do the sbc bleed activation.
Hi I have a w204 C250 .... I recently installed a small unit to the Comand to give me CarPlay access which is working great except that aux is not activated. I tried going into the engineering mode of comand to activate it by first turning off the MOST but it’s seem to cut off the audio even when I turn MOST back on. I have ended up going to the dealership twice to have the comand reset costing bucks .... which of the scanners can I buy to reset comand on my own. Apparently it has to have the xentry
Harold Bedu-Mensah go to www.mbstartool.com any newer machine will work. Thanks
I have a 2010 e550 with front driver side loosing air after sitting for a few hours to at times many hours - is the icarsoft able to check airmatic fault codes?? Many thanks and great video...very easy to digest ;)
Andre Powell yes although this is not something that would set a code. Most likely a leakin air bag/shock.
Thanks Lou! Great overview
thanks for watching!
Hi.. thanks so much for reaching out like you are. I have an 03 E500 w211. Bought it like 2 mos. ago. It seems something is draining my battery. Main and aux are both good. Funny you mentioned Auto Zone because I went there specifically to check the basics and knowing batt. is fine, wanted to see about ruling out alternator and voltage regulator. I had enough charge on battery for them to run it . They said both are good. If that's the case , I know there are other things it could be but. I'm thinking a short somewhere. The term parasitic drain and how to detect where it's coming from has numerous videos that I watched. So my thoughts/questions are: Is an auto shop that hooks your car to a diagnostic machine and charges 140.00, is it a type of check that shows the source of the problem if it's a short or a feature in the car that stays on and I'm not aware of which particular one it is, I think I'm trying to ask what you would recommend as a next step or maybe type of scan to do. The symptoms are, that the the car won't usually start after a day of not much or any driving. When I drive like 80 miles to visit friends in LA it will stay good for about four days. When it gets closer to losing battery power it does two things. I know it probably won't start the next time I try when it has a very tiny but noticeable drag or lagging in the startup. So it starts but with that kinda lag.. Second sign is the battery pic shows in cluster with message malfunction consumer battery switched off. Unless I drive a good distance and put a good charge back on it, it won't start up next time I try. When it charges for the message will disappear.b I am sooooo sorry this is long and drawn out but I am so appreciative of the feedback, advice,etc. It's awesome and I will give back when opportunity to do so comes. Thx, penny
penny brown so sorry on the delay. The parasitic draw test is tedious but it will help find your issue if you do have something drawing excess amperage at rest. A “diagnostic” test will not show a draw. It only shows fault codes. And you will never have a fault code stating there is a draw. Hope this helps. Lou
@@MasterTechLou Hello.. Yes thanks so much ..It does help me to get an understanding of the differences of what could be going on with it.. Randomly , people will say , "it sounds like a short somewhere.." Then I think about a short vs. a draw, and the symptoms I'm having, which is a dead battery every few days. And it seems as though I only get message in the cluster , "malfunction , electrical consumers switched off, " as the battery begins to lose more of its power . and that seems to happen when I'm not driving it enough to keep putting a good charge on it.I'm wondering if, based on what the car is doing and if I explained it ok, what you may recommend as my next step.. thank you very much for your input..Very appreciated, Penny
Did you ever find the fix or what was wrong I have the exact same issues, 03 E500 w211.. any help is appreciated. I actually have the foxwell NT520 pro with mercedes aftermarket software on the scanner. Does a lot but not exactly dealership level. No coding. Minimal bi-directional functions. And doesnt read a couple modules I believe. Aside from that it's pretty good and taps into a lot of the modules. Definetley above basic level.
Oyeniyi Bukola Adeyemi hey did you ever sent the link. I’m having the same issue.
@Oyeniyi Bukola Adeyemi wow..sorry..I just saw this.Did you send a link? I have an issue with my front driver seat, too so if you can I would like to check that link..thx
I bought a Foxwell 510NT Elite after watching this video. I would like to test the pressure output on the ABC pump in my 2005 Mercedes SL500 using this scan tool. Can I run this test with the Foxwell? Any idea where I can find "how to" directions?
I appreciate the work you do.
Thank you for the nice comments. There is no pressure test you can do. All you can do is run the car and check the live value of the ABC pressure sensor. These pumps either have pressure or they don’t. There really is no in between. So, if you don’t have a warning on your dash or a fault code, Then your pressure is most likely fine.
I wanted to add that I found a video with the procedure to run the Rodeo with the Foxwell 510NT Elite. If it can display the ABC pump pressure I'm sure it is going to come from a display that is from the same route used to get to the Rodeo.
Thanks for the great video. I have some questions:
- Do you know what the difference is between the iCarsoft MB V2.0 and the MB II?
- If I were to buy a multibrand diagnostic tool, which one do you advise?
George the v2.0 has a few more features for diesels, but is still limited. I can advise on a scanner but it all depends on your goals shoot me an email at diagnosisunlimited gmail
Benz-Tech Lou P. yeah, just to read out any error codes, write them down as you suggest and to reset them, check again after a test drive. Just to prevent that the garage will come up with repairs I haven’t asked for. Sometimes I want to read out cars of others, so that’s why I asked for a multibrand one. For now I think I will go for the CR Pro, unless you’ll tell me it won’t cover some features the MB II or V2.0 have.
George Rabidin the cr pro is just perfect for that my man. That will do exactly what you need per our conversation.

Got a '14 c250 1.8, with a check engine light. The issue is when passing another car, the car feels like it loses turbo pressure. I can pull over, shut off/start the car and it's fine, until I attempt WOT again.
I think it may be the hp fuel pump, but which scantool would point me in the right direction?
any scan tool like this will be a good start, you will either have a code in the engine module known as ME or the trans module known as VGS
I am looking for a scanner that can reset the sbc for my W211 E350 4matic. I recently purchase a iCarsoft MB II (sent it back) and it did not seem to complete the reset of the brakes. I also have a LAUNCH OBD2 Scanner CRP129X, that seems to work well on my other vehicles, but not so well on the Mercedes. Do you have a recommendation for what scanner will work on most of the modules for this vehicle? I purchase the vehicle and found out many things that need repair. I have done several of them myself, but have trouble trying to reset the error codes. I ended up taking it to a dealer to reset the brake code, they said my scanner just wasn't able to complete the reset. I would rather spend the money on something I can use more than once than have them do it. Thanks for your advice in advance.
Best choice is the factory star diagnosis. You can get them very inexpensive at www.mbstartool.com
I have a p0600 serial communications link code... can one of these pinpoint my problem? E55 AMG 2003
Yes and no. The Icarsoft can help but you also need to know the topography of the can data bus.

I hope this helps. Lou
HELP!
My headache…2016 E350. Originally getting error codes for Cam Position Sensors. Took care of the oil pressure (and cleaned) fresh factory oil and filter. Getting Actuator codes and even a misfire…all on Bank 2. My question: Do ai need a MB Star Tester to actuate the variable timing (or verify it is working properly? MIL flashes at higher ROM’s and idles rough. When the A/C is turned on, it almost stalls. Launch Scanner or MB Star?
Launch or star will work but if you’re getting misfires and a stalling engine you most likely need adjusters
@@MasterTechLou It’s showing BOTH sensors and actuators on one bank only, which I find odd. I can’t imagine both intake and exhaust actuators would fail at the same time.
@@robertmorgan8104 check your timing. Thats all I can advise or will advise in the comments section.
What do you think of the youcanic? It doesn't have the module mapping but everything will always work from the year you bought it without updating.
It looks just like a rebranded foxwell, or icarsoft. Like just a midlevel all systems scanner. And all scanners work that way where the software is up to date then they give you 1-2 years free updates then updates stop but functionality is still there.
@@MasterTechLou I heard that the Launch x431 Throttle 3 doesn't lose functionality without updates. Have you checked that one out?
@@meblake7359 I have 3 launch scanners and none lose functionality. In fact the only ones I have seen lose functionality personally are the matco and snap on ones. I have a LOT of scanners after doing youtube for some time and they all still function you just wont get

@@arendvoortman361 you really dont have to have a expensive scanner for this car. When you fill the def you turn the ignition on and wait
2 min and the message will go off before you start the car. If you have more faults you basically most times have to replace the part that the fault is for and then drive the car for 30
Min at highway speeds and the codes will self clear. If you try to clear codes, it will go into tamper mode and now the dealer has to do the clearing with the dealer scanner.
I need your help! Can I use the icarsoft to read which actuator is bad in my ac/heater system? Mechanic said its one of the actuators that let the hot air. Im getting no heat into my cabin. They confirmed the heat works but nothing comes in. 2010 s550 4matic
And its not low in coolant and the heater control valve was replaced
No the icarsoft will not help with that. Because it cannot activate anything, only read live data and you need something to activate the heater valves and then watch the live data.

Either raid it now...... or raid it later :)

It will cover both models but I do
Not believe it has bi direction capabilities. You would need the v3.0 and from my understanding you can order them with 3 manufacturers loaded up. And can purchase more if needed. Seems they are all going the ala carte way. Where you pay for what you want.

Hi Lou. great video thanks for sharing. I got SLK 230 2000 50,000 kilometres cannot clear code p0100 state : (Historic) using icarsoft MB v1.0 of course don’t have any issues with the engine just wanted to know the better type of scanner might do the job. Thanks in advance
When we clear codes we have to do the erase and then turn the ignition off for about 15 seconds, also if the code will not clear its possible the fault is current so it will not clear. But trying another scanner may help.
Thanks Lou. I will re try .
Dude, you described me! My ML320 started going into limp mode and I used one of the generic orange obd scanners, actually the little brother of the one in this vid, and got P0600 and P0720 codes. The general consensus on the forums led me to replace the conductor plate. Symptoms didn't change, which is when I started looking at scanners. I decided on the the Star Diagnostic System. I received it today and I plan on putting it to work tomorrow. Wish I had found this vid before doing a bunch of research on which scanner I needed - it would've saved me a lot of time. Blew my mind when you described exactly what I had done when I replaced the conductor plate!
I also watched the other vid on how to use the Xentry system. Thanks for 2 excellent videos. Liked and subscribed.
My next video should enlighten the mercedes world and solve the mysteries and dissolve the rumors of how to fix certain issues. I had to make this video, working online people don’t know the difference and its hard to explain via text. Glad you felt this!

Do the chinese knock off factory benz scanners work?
So, they are not knock off.
They are unlocked Mercedes benz scanners. They do everything but programming and software updates since you need to be logged into mercedes dealer servers with permissions
Thanks for the great comparison. This really shows what you get for your money. While Xentry would be an amazing option, I don't think it would be suited for a home DIYer, especially if you maintain vehicles from multiple manufacturers.
For a system like the Launch, how deep does it go? Can you actually do things like resetting transmission adaptations or even updating the software on various modules, or does that require Xentry level capability?
Autel is better for what youre askin but launch is the same software as matco . Launch or autel would be my preferred scanners. Especially since they do multiple cars.
Thanks mate. I'm trying to sort brake pedal issues with a w202 C280 instead of going ahead and replacing perfectly good components in the suspicion that these are buggered or wrong like we used to do. Seems simple, but dear me, ascertaining source issue for an ABS error light on an early system is like asking a GP if Neanderthals clipped their toenails.. things move quickly tech wise...people are ready to label what you are working with as old and unsupported.

Will a innova 5610 read an clear transmission codes on a 2004 clk 500
Great video, explaining the different levels of capability of each scanner. Obviously, price and features will dictate what DIYers will buy. The iCarsoft scanner is one that I am contemplating, but various reviews from actual purchasers seem to show one thing in common, and that is lack of sufficient support (no returned calls or emails from the manufacturer). And some have complained that their particular model of MB is not listed. Can you comment?
Would also like to see you make a comparison among scanners costing between 100 and 150 dollars, if you would be so interested. Thanks.
Ted thanks for reaching out sir.
I will tell you that a lot of scanners do show the models its the lack of knowledge on the user end. The scanner is 10% of the equation, the user is the other 90%.
Also Ted, if you are in the USA, send me your email. I would like to GIVE you a Icarsoft MBV2.0 . If that is what you are seeking. Brand new. No strings attached.

Thanks for viewing my friend.

also, I have been in contact with iCarsoft on any issues I have noted, they have been good with communication. But its like trying to steer a meteoroid. It takes time. they update as they can, these things are reverse engineered. so there will be some lack of function and usability. but for the price. and what they can do, they are a great medium between someone like yourself the avid do it yourselfer and a knowledgeable tech like myself to get you where you need to be. If that answers the question. and I will look into doing some comparison for sure. Thanks again. Lou
Where can I message you about info and how to properly diagnose my 2011 Smart Fortwo 451 Pure. I’ve had it for 3 years (used). One day it just started idling rough. Changed Coil Packs, Spark, the generic stuff. It’s been idling rough for over a year and the engine hasn’t blown up.

The "CONTACT" page on the www.cartechconnect.com site doesn't work.....keeps getting an error.
So I thought I would post the question here.
Which MBstar tool is used in the comparison video of scanners? Is it a stand alone item as seen in the video? They have several variations at MBstartool.com.
Thanks.
Just found the site. I'll be joining (if they can fix the "contact" form). Is the fee an annual / monthly / lifetime fee? Not really clear.
Thanks again.
ok thanks its a one time fee, try a different browser maybe? like chrome or windows depending on what you already tried? sorry for the confusion.,

Which scanner can disable the annoying Tele Aid malfunction message?
The launch or autel or star diagnosis. Thanks
@@MasterTechLou do you know which model i should get for Autel and the Launch?
Thanks
@@GorGBoi I have the launch X431. I am not sure about other models, as for the autel, the 808 or 906 (i could be mistaken) should be similar. I wish I could say what you SHOULD buy, just do your homework and see which one is best for you.
where can i purchase the evg7 for my 2008 s550 4matic?
Hi.. Ihave a SLK230 1998 with 38 pin obd port. How to connect my scanner (Launch 429C) ? I know that is adapter is needed, but i dont know how works. Can you help me?
If you know there is an adapter needed then you know how it works. I don’t understand the question. The adapter plugs into the end of the scanner 16pin to make it 38 pin. Make sure to buy a good brand as a recent fellow said his cheap one would not connect so we assumed it was a scanner issue. It was a cable issue.
@@MasterTechLou exactly... I need an adapter, but i donk know what type will work with my launch scanner. I bought a cheaper adapter chinese but no works. My hope is that you know what adapter will work on Launch scanner 🙂
Great video! Thank you so much!!I'm looking for a tool that works on Mercedes as well as BMW. Will the icarsoft EU pro do everything the icarsoft MB II does? What about icarsoft CR Pro? Which Launch model do you recommend?
R Flan cr pro does all models. Launch x431 as well. But autel maxis or the highest level is the best bet.
Hi,I got a launch 134x and not very hapy with it ,can you recomen mi one from the best autel becouse they are many to chose from £100 to £1300 here in UK thanks
Unfortunately, this star tool isn’t available @ MBstartool
Great video, thank you....So I have a 2015 Sprinter and I am looking for a code reader can you give me some idea as to which one would be go for ABS, ESP etc. under $1,000.oo...I know its a loaded question...LOL
that is a tough one, check out my video on the autel. that may help. the autel would be ideal , the mk808 most likely.
Hey Lou, I got an older 1999 MB C-280. What OBD would you recommend & which one is least expensive to set a FOB spare key? Thanks!
You have to order the key from mercedes and there isnt any programming other than starting the car, turning it off then holding lock and pressing unlock 5 times.
I am pretty sure thats the method but if its a single button you just start it shut it off and press the button to learn it. If memory serves
Can the icarsoft clear the codes in the TCM for a mercedes benz clk320 convertible 208?
Yes but you need the adapter from the 16 pin to the 32 pin in the engine bay to access all the modules
Awesome thank you so much
@@MasterTechLou SO I could only find 38 pin
@@deenice594 thats what I meant :)
Awesome thank you so much for your help !
Great video. What are some ideas on how to clear the Teleaid sos defective message on an 04 s430? Do you think that the icarsoft scanner can erase that message?
somatra52 most dont understand that clearing a code doesnt mean fixing an issue. This scanner can read and clear codes, but there are extra steps needed to fix the tele aid or eliminate it. Lou
@@MasterTechLou I don't want it fixed I just want that message to stop popping up every time I cut on the car. Teleaid sos on an 04 is analog signal and I don't want to convert it into digital.
After replacing the battery in the trunk and under the hood, the power windows and mirror adjustment MB W221 3.5L 2006 stopped working. Please tell me if it is possible to fix this with Launch X431, i.e. to update the TSG block from a freeze or is only Xentry DAS, Vediamo needed for this? Thank you for your reply!
You don’t need a scanner for this, you need to relearn your windows and sunroof however this model usually retains memory. Might have blown a fuse for the drivers door module if other windows work from their switches. Could also be coincidence because the power wire likes to break in the door jamb where it bends.
Hi I have a mercedes w204 year 2011 and I would like to regenerate the dpf... Icarsoft allows to force the regeneration.. Thank in advance
The icarsoft v2.0 does allow the regen. Or is supposed to as its in its list of functions. I have yet to try one myself.
I have a 99 clk430 w208 stick in limp mode. I am having the hardest time finding a tool to diagnose/ reset the transmission codes. I bought the icarsoft mb2 but it doesn’t even have the clk430 as an option in the diagnostic setting. It will read generic codes from the obd2 port but that’s not helping. The only definite recommendation is the carsoft 7.4 multiplexer with 36 pin connector When I try to find one the only places that claim to have it is like wish or Ali express…. 🤫 I don’t particularly trust that. Any advice or suggestions, reasonably priced recommendations?!
Clk is 208 chassis, the icarsoft should have that? You need the adapter from the 16 pin to the 36 pin in the engine bay. No matter what scanner you use. But I thought the mbII has 208, if not might wanna get a v3,0 or foxwell or xtool
Where to buy a MB Star Diagnosis machine?. Also where to get the correct software? Need to flash TCU SAM and ECU on a Smart fortwo 2009 Cabriolet
You wont be able to program anything . You will have to have the dealer do that . Its a process to go through to have access to programming. It costs thousands and is only worth it if you are a shop.
Hello, I have a 2003 SL500 MB my ABC malfunction signal is up since I changed the engine oil and restarted the car when i had it on stands and not on the ground. I noticed an drop and ever since the ABC light is on. previously when driving the RED light would come on and go away but now the warning is up (not the red light, this still come on occasionally) I have purchased the flush toll AGA toll, and plan on doing a flush once i receive this item. I also have the iCarsoft MBii,
my question is: as i have seen various videos i will need to warm up the fluid and have the car pumping fluid to the 4 wheel while draining and replacing the fluid, does the icarsoft have the capability to do this function? i basically use it to detect codes and other malfunctions,
Please let me know how to best ensure i don't make matters worse.
regards
Jorge
Hello Jorge, the only thing the icarsoft will be able to do is erase any codes. it will not perform rodeo or any movements to help circulate the fluid. But you can simply have a helper that is pressing the raise and lower button to help circulate the fluid, but I would not flush the fluid until you know what code is in the abc module with the icarsoft.
Lou
I am also a mercedes guy!! Extremely helpful!! Thank you so much!
I need help with my car. Mercedes doesn’t want to work on my car because I worked on it myself after a crash. I can’t get it to start. Reads 2805 code in German with my generic scanner. What should I do?
Sorry they wont help you.
You already seem to know the answer. Youll need a better scanner. A no start is actually pretty easy to figure out if you know the process. Only a handful of reasons why a Mercedes will not start.
Do you know how to get a MB subscription for Mercedes Benz xentry. Do they have like a year subscription?
Its like 17k a year as you have to lease their machines and then they provide you with close to dealer access. You can find this out at www.startekinfo.com
When you consider that computers are getting cheaper ,And that a scan tool can cost £200 pounds ,surely new cars should have their own scan tools built in, with the car regularly ,going through its own scanning schedule,
They do. We can run remote diagnostics on cars today. But only to read codes.
Will the MBII be able to deactivate the SOS TeleIAid that is no longer supported in mercedes?
no this scanner does not code or program.
What tool do u recommend for working on metris vans? For programming modules, enable restart after crash. I heard the starter need flashed after replacement. I've never heard of that.
The mercedes star diagnosis is what is used for the metris just like the sprinter.
However you wont be able to program modules only the dealer can.
I hear scanners like autologic can but I dont have experience with those
So, the Mercedes tool for $$$$$$$$$ is better than the $150 icarsoft ll ? Sure glad I watched this......
Thanks Fred, this video is to help those that dont understand the difference and need to make an educated decision on purchasing a scan tool for themselves. I hope you laughed when you typed your statement and it made you feel good.
Do you recommend any tool that is capable of unlocking features or coding modules ?
Well. “Unlocking” features is in most models a function of turning on or off a coding setting but it also matters if the car is equipped. Like we had a customer that added every European option to his base C class and we would just turn the setting to “present” in the gateway module. So you have to know if the car is even equipped with such features you wish to turn on. Like in my grand caravan I was able to turn on the video display in the front when in park. So it all depends. Coding is the same as what you are asking. Programming is only an option with some high dollar scanners. But there’s still a limit on modules it can program. So like launch, high end autel, autologic, and few other tablet/laptop style scanners can do that but nothing will ever be better than the oem scanners which you can find bootleg ones of every manufacturer somewhere. I hope that helps, its just a loaded question with so many variables.
Great video 📹, don't worry about the guys wich don't like you ,only one on this coments ,keep going for the one we do like 👍 you ....thanks
Thank you so much!!!
Hello, I am planning to buy either Autel or launch or any tool to use them on w221 2007, w140 1996 and others like toyota prado 2013? What do you recommend 200~750$? Thankz
I would go with autel.
Mk808 and adapter kit might be best purchase!

Hi, what's the best scanner for a 1998 Mercedes E320 sedan???
Any of the ones I review but you have to get the adapter from 16 pin to 38 pin in the engine bay
Can u make a video How to check headlights level I know how to but am wondering if is possible to adjust the height level with it?
Hi.Does the Icarsoft CR PRO be able to do the same work with Mercedes like MB V2.0?Or you lose functions with the multi-brand?Thanks!
The pro is the best bang for the buck if you are going to work on other cars. You do not lose functionality. Its a good tool for the price for sure. Thanks,Lou
Not quite true but not false either. One is a reverse engineered product to some degree and the other is from the factory that made the vehicle. From what I understand xentry will be better however Icarsoft make pretty good products that should do most of what any of us require.
Very helpful and a great presentation.
Thank you , I truly appreciate that! Lou
I have a 1998 slk 230 and replaced the conductive plate and 32 pin connection plug and i am still getting the p0715 and p0720 code. I purchased the Icarsoft mb 11 scanner and aftermarket 38 to 16 pin adapter but the scanner will only do the basic generic scanning under the hood or dash connection.. Does the codes need to be cleared from the tcu to get the car out of limp mode..I have owned this car for over 7 years and never had a problem with the auto trans ..the check engine just came on and went into limp mode.. Do I need to purchase the icarsoft 38 to 16 pin adapter..
codes need to be cleared from the trans module, the adapter should work with the icarsoft, 170 model,
Sounds good I ordered the icarsoft 38 to 16 pin adapter. Thanks
Which one works on old Mercedes W210?
Almost any with the adapter from 16 pin to 32 pin
Which of this scanner can be used to code my Mercedes Benz 7g tronic gear box
I dont know what you mean by “code” but none of them
Most likely can because it needs programmed and only the dealer and or European shops that pay for access can do it.
How do you compare the Autel MS908 with the Autel 906BT? HOW IMPORTANT IS THE J2435 PROGRAMMING CAPABILITY?
Charles Foster are you a shop owner or what are your intentions and why are you needing a scanner?
Benz-Tech Lou P. Boy… I sure would have appreciated a technical answer to these questions of mine! I probably wouldn’t be asking these questions if I had a garage my own and made a living fixing other peoples cars, but, I’m a bit of a car guy and the better I get at diagnosing and maintaining certain vehicles the more of them that I flip. So while I don’t make a living fixing cars, I do try to make a few extra dollars by focusing on certain high-quality dependable vehicles and making a little money through that expertise. Does that help?

I’m planning on getting the icarsoft mb II because I’m trying to erase a transmission code that is stored on the tcm of my mercedes( car won’t shift at all, stuck in one gear). But i wanted to make sure that this scanner , if the problem is fixed, will it clear or erase the codes in the module?
Yes I am confident it will., But if you have an older mercedes where the body style didnt end until 2000's then you may need the adapter to go from the 16-38 pin in the engine bay. used on cars like 210 170 202 208 so make sure you do your homework. Lou
@@MasterTechLou Thanks for the info! It’s a G400 CDI , W463 chassis first gen so it was continued till 2018 . No port located around the engine bay to my knowledge and based on my researches. Anyways once i get it , i’ll be glad to post any update here.
Hi there, enjoyed your video. I m getting ready to change the pads and rotors on my 2004 E500, which of course has the SBC brake system. I have seen several people that have used a Foxwell NT520 with the Mercedes Software loaded that have used it to deactivate the SBC and then reactivate after the brake work. It will also activate the brake bleeding function. I don't want to spend over $200 for the scan tool. I have owned this car since new. It has 103,000 miles. I am getting ready to replace the valve cover gaskets and while at it, replace the spark plugs and spark plug wires. I never have had the transmission fluid changed. I may have to do that soon as well. So, what are your thoughts? Thanks, Tom
Okie-Tom so all you need to do is unplug the sbc module. Once you do that you can work on the brakes with no worries. Also you can bleed the brakes with no worries. Once done reconnect the sbc, start car. Warnings may pop up. No worries. Pump pedal about 20 times. Shut car off, repeat. It is setting the pads against the rotorS. Eventually the warnings will cease and all will be right with the world. Lou
Benz-Tech Lou P. Thanks. I thought it might be good to have a good scan tool that has dedicated Mercedes software in it. You never know when I would need it. The Foxwell NT520 with the Mercedes software looks pretty good. I know it will disable the sbc. Several people have reported they have. Have you ever looked at the Foxwell?
One last thing. I bought new rotors and pads for it, but it didn’t come with the new hardware for the front or rear, do you recommend I order the hardware before starting my project? I thank you much. Tom

Hi mate I have a Mercedes SLK 230 1999 model right hand drive. When I go to start the car it comes up start error. The key works to turn the car over it turns over for two or three seconds then shut down. Which the start error appears on the dashboard, I have changed it fuel filter and fuel pump. I have changed the camshaft sensor and crankshaft sensor.. There is spark to the spark plugs. There is fuel to the rail But it still does not start. Have you got any idea what you think it needs as I am stuck. I see you have all the tools and all the knowledge so any information will be greatly appreciated.
Start error is a problem with the immobilizer anti theft system.
You either have a bad key, bad transponder around the ignition, or bad das module which means drive authorization. This is hard to test if you do not have a second key. First step is always trying a second key. Hope this helps.
@@MasterTechLou hi mate, just a quick catch up. I got in touch with you about my SLK 230 with a start error on the dashboard the car is now working.

Hello, you will not be able to program. At least not easily. There are outlets I hear of to be able to program through 3rd party companies through the scanner but I havent seen them personally. There are tools out there that can do this but they are costly. Almost ever high end scanner for any brand. Like autel or xtool or topdon.
@@MasterTechLou thanks. Launch PAD V can do this, supposedly, but its over $2000, I'm having hard time justifying the cost for the benefit.
@@dejankaran3640 you wouldn’t believe the stories I hear daily……
I get some dealeships and shops can kinda overcharge and what not. But people are spending 3k to avoid a diagnosis fee? Or a program fee of possibly 200$? I think pride and ego are costly these days.
I can’t justify it myself as a tech that will work on the side. Its best to make friends with a dealer and tech so they can fill in the blanks when it comes to needing those services. They are far and few between. We dont program all the time. Especially not on the same car. So to justify 3k to save 200$ , thats 10x programming fees……. Very hard to justify
Great video! I have an 05 Cl55 that I’m working on and I want to get a mb star setup for it. I’m working on the locks, soft close doors and everything that goes with that system, and the srs. Which one would you recommend from from the mbstar website?
Thanks Shawn, all the mb star are pretty much the same it is just the package they are offered on.
So my quick answer is get the latest and greatest. That will last you for years to come. As for your locks, your pse is most likely bad or you also have a leak in the system that caused it to go bad.
