Purchase my Carsoft 7.4 diagnostic system
Here is the link

TOTAL was $121.72 with shipping, comes from Washington, inside the US.
<o:p></o:p>
It works fairly well. It brings the software with installation instructions. The installation is somewhat complex but not impossible. The interface is somewhat plain. The data is presented in basic text form. In my opinion it is not for beginners, you need to have a bit of computer and mechanical knowledge to utilize this system efficiently but I don’t think it would be hard to learn the necessary steps to use it successfully.
<o:p></o:p>
I would say it gets the job done. It is nothing like the Star diagnostic system but for the price it's a great deal. Will diagnose pretty much everything the Star system will. I have used it in my 97 W210 and worked well.
WARNING!!!!!!!
**YOU DO NEED A LAPTOP OR DESKTOP WITH A SERIAL PORT CONNECTION!! ALSO KNOWN AS DB-9 CONNECTION. THIS IS SOMEWHAT OUTDATED TECHNOLOGY. IT LOOKS JUST LIKE A MONITOR CONECTOR BUT IT HAS 9 PINS INSIDE. MOST NEW LAPTOPS DO NOT HAVE THIS CONNECTION**
It claims model from 87-03 I believe.

Any questions please feel free to post them here.

I have an error from my Teleaid system (old analog phone system which won't work anymore). I had tried before to remove it with Carsoft but couldn't. Any ideas how to do it? I have the same kit as you.
