Which scantool to choose? Foxwell/Icarsoft/Launch
Hey Guys,
I am in the process or ordering arnott rear springs for my 2008 e63 as well as a new battery (it isn't bad yet but its lower voltage than it should be). I understand I will need to drain each of the air springs currently on the vehicle and refill them before driving using a scantool so my question is what to go with? Based on my research on here and online reviews in general, i have come up with the following
Foxwell NT520/530 $170
Icarsoft MB 2.0 $150
Launch CRP Touch pro $300
If i wanna real spend bigger bucks I can also go with a Star Diag system from ebay but trying to avoid that - $500ish
I currently have a Launch 7001S but don't think I am able to adjust suspension with that tool, however I can be mistaken. I haven't dove very deep into what its capabilities are previously and the car is currently at the dealership, so I am unable to test.
My goal is to order the parts ASAP so I can swap it out once other work on the vehicle is finished.
What is the easiest to use of these? Is there a large difference in capability between the launch, foxwell, and icarsoft? Does anyone have any familiarity with my current Launch tool? would it make sense to go with the Foxwell NT630 elite as opposed to a 530 that is MB specific according to amazon?
Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
