My family members are starting to get into the Mercedes market ever since my Mom and I started driving them so Ive been dubbed the family mechanic 😀 so this tool has saved us thousands in trips to the dealer and maintenance costs since I do all the work myself.
Autoscanit has prices that are 3-4x the price of the chinese clones you find off ebay and other sites. Tech support and "after the sale" was a concern as I was considering this purchase. I bit the bullet anyway and took a chance after I did my due diligence.
i have had to utilize autoscanit's tech support for minor questions and such and the response has always been in a timely manner.

It has served me VERY WELL. I have the Mercedes C4 Scanner which I purchased 3 yrs ago. It came with a Dell D630 laptop and a license dongle. After 3 yrs, the license on it expired so I upgraded to newer software (2017 version) and a newer Dell E6420 laptop. Laptop upgrade was OPTIONAL, but I chose it for a few reasons like boot up time, mobility, battery life, and wireless internet capability.

OK so is this seller actually in Canada? Did your unit ship from Canada?

Wow! That's my story exactly, I'm the family mechanic except I've had to learn how to fix Japanese cars, Porshe's and now Mercedes I've been battling with it after a mechanic screwed me over. Over here apart from the stealer robbing you dry, people are generally inept so I rely a whole lot on the very helpful forums like this one. This is my second merc both of them nightmares, I figured best to DIY it I'd rather pay for my own mistakes and so far, I've fallen in love with mercs again.

Let me explain something here..... and this is my honest opinion. No ONE is a supplier for Mercedes Benz multiplexers. They claim theirs is made in Germany by ACTIA..... That's a lie! They are taking your money and sending you high quality chinese clones, which work great. I have used them for years. Depending on your needs you can also use the new Xentry Passthru. It works with any J2534 device but is limited to CAN communcation only. So you pretty much 2006 and up vehicles. I have been using the passthru software for about 2 years and it works great.
