Scanner Tool

I just bought this scanner tool, did I do OK? I paid $172 total. I just saw it on AliExpress for $102, and would need to add tax to that.

Amazon Amazon

Good purchase. Plus, AliExpress would take a lot longer to reach you. And if you have problems, Amazon is probably easier to deal with, though I've not heard anything bad about AliExpress.

Well, that is the tool commonly recommended on the forums short of XENTRY. At least this provides good portability.

Good Choice

If you want to get the best and most comprehensive, while also having help if you can't figure something out.
AND as mentioned in the previous post mentioned....

As @JettaRed once said so perfectly... Contact @BenzNinja at www.benzninja.com. In addition to helping you acquire an SDS, he can also help you diagnose problems remotely.Being able to scan using a Mercedes-specific tool is the first step anyone will suggest. XENTRY is the scan and diagnosis tool that is part of the Star Diagnostics System (SDS). If you get it from BenzNinja, you will have lifetime support for all of your Mercedes. Well worth the investment.In addition to XENTRY, you will get the Workshop Information System (WIS), the Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC), Vediamo, DTS Monaco, Starfinder, and professional diagnostics support.
