💻 Any handheld diagnostic scanners for soft codes out there?

Besides Xentry, are there any handheld diagnostic scanners that would be able to scan and pick up soft codes like our Exhaust Flap Malfunction?

My current Bluetooth OBD2/Android phone setup can't pick up on those codes so I'm looking for something proper.

Thanks,
George Lisciandro

I think you would have to have xentry. I had codes for it but nothing else would pick it up. Look up Benzninja. Not a bad price for everything you can do

I have the Rosstech one we use in Audis. I was told it would work but haven't had a chance to try it yet. Will let you know.

rosstech.......... thats a name i haven't heard eons I've got that too haha i swear audi/vw are so much more user friendly with this type of stuff grrrr

RIGHT, NO THANKS TO YOU LOT.......... 😏😏😏

I've narrowed down to a couple of units:

iCarsoft MB II (No programming but made specifically for MB)
Foxwell NT624 ELITE (Can do some programming functions on MB apparently)

Has anyone used these two?

Usually what I do! People come here only when they need something. If I can help out I will.

How much is the Foxwell?
