What will be the best diagnostic tool for home use for Mercedes GL 2007?

vladc77 · 07-17-2012, 12:35 AM

I am thinking to get some diagnostic equipment for testing Mercedes GL450, 2007 at home. I found few options but have difficulties to choose. I have found references to Star Diagnostics C3 or C4, Carsoft Ultimate Pro and many option for OBD II readers. Perhaps, none of them is a good choice. I am wondering if you can share your experience using them. Which will be the best choice? Thank you in advance!

I have the Autel Maxidas 708 and so far it does everything I need. Bonus is that it does almost everything you need for most any car! ( Audi to Veyron )

A Chinese c3 for about $350-400.

Thank you for sharing this information with me. I am planning to order MB Star C3. It has a reputation to be more reliable then C4 and SD Connect.

Correct. Besides the c4 is very mb- dependent and becomes disabled very often when it "calls home". The c3 especially for pre-2011 vehicles is plenty. If you have a 2011+ you will need a c4.
