    Have you tried the icarsoft MB 1.0 or 2.0? That's what I use as it has a good 38pin adaptor to do the modules on the older cars that don't have OBDII.

    @MBDieselFreak I installed a Kenwood 10.1 head unit in my 2009 Mercedes Benz harmon kardon ntg 2.5 and was wondering if I can use the scanner for the command and change it to not present to see audio Nav on the instrumental cluster display? or do I need to go to dealer to use star? or can I use a fiber most loop to fix the ring or a canbus decoder? the in advance

    Hey man, first thing first - absolutely love your channel man. Some stuff you explain is priceless.
    On another hand, I was thinking to buy this scanner and then i saw all negative reviews on Amazon. People use it, there is an update, people do update it and then "repurchasing" option pups up and manufacturer is ignoring customers. So my isssue is that it will work for unknown period of time and then it becomes paper weight.
    Can you recommend any other brand please?

      I hadn't heard of that issue. Odd since software updates are done automatically by the scanner and the updates are vehicle specific.
      The other scanner I showed in the video is great also, the Launch X431. I've also heard good things about Autel, but not sure which model is mercedes specific.

    Do you know if the NT530 will measure or display fuel pressure? I’m having long starts on my OM642.

    Hi does "stored" on my foxwell scanner mean the fault is still there?

    I dont think so but does that code things out, on a 2004 clk500 i would like to code out the Tele Aid . i feel its only the star system that can do that

      These newer scanners can code in options that the cars never had before. Shouldn't have any issue doing teleaid

    Meh, I am not sure if "need" is the correct term for needing to add a injector code haha. likely something more like "would be preferred" to add injector codes.....

      For diesels it's pretty much mandatory. Or am I totally wrong? Afaik most diesels throw all the codes if the injectors aren't coded.
