Xentry/Das, Comps, and Doors...
So I have come to the determination that my Autel MD802 is good for a lot of things, but not necessary as complete as I would like for the GL. I am kicking around picking up one of the cleaner Xentry/Das complete sets online right now. It seems I could grab everything needed for between $500-$600. I have also read great things about the Autel DS708 and DS808 and their abilities. I recognize that the Xentry/Das unit is probably the better fit for the Mercedes brand, but wonder if folks have any insight on the pros and cons of an Xentry/Das unit verses the Autel DS708/808? I have no interest in modding the GL, just diagnosing and making appropriate repairs.
One of the primary reasons I want to get a little deeper into the diagnostic equipment is that I have been dealing with a driver's rear door that hasn't worked for about a year. There are so many things that could be causing that problem, my suspicion is that one of these diagnostic tools might give me enough insight to keep it away from the dealership. On the door issue, I have heard it could be the SAM, it could be the actuator, and it could be several other basic things. In researching the fuse and relay maps for the GL, I noticed there are fuses for the front doors, but nothing listed for the rears. I am presuming this means those are built into a larger component set within the fuse/relay box. If anyone has any thoughts or guidance there, it would be appreciated as well. I would hate to tear into the door only to find out that something as basic as a fuse/relay/other plug-and-play fix was actually the issue.
Thanks for your insight!
