Mercedes Star C5

i was looking to purchase a china version Star to diagnose and program new sensors to my w166 but some of the info on the net scares me. Do I need SCN coding and what is it. Some info on the c3 version indicates the software emulates using some VMware software, runs slow, and the key expires shortly after.

Whats your guys take on this one? They tell me key is good tim 2030 and it runs off the hard drive. Is this what I should buy?

MB SD C5 has launched the marketplace for ages,just as we have known, the SD Connect 5 is a auto diagnostic and programmer tool for Mercedes Benz Cars & Trucks ,which was updated from MB SD Connect 4,some New MB SD C5 has inherited almost all features of MB SD C4,except made mini changes in following

1.with new design to provide decent quality.
2. supports more newest vehicles.
3. with better performance.

So, will MB SD Connect Compact 5 will be a ideal optional for Mercedes Benz Vehicle programming ? Well,about this question,maybe different people will have different views,yet,IMO, MB SD C5 is worthy to have ,after all,it has launched for ages,tested by many users and left a good reputation for its performance,function as well as price. Wifi MB SD Connect 5 supports wifi diagnostic and can support car list after year 2000 ,the package also comes with a free HDD ,so if you are in the marketplace for a benz auto tool,then you can give MB SD Connect 5 a shot.and i was bought one from BUYOBDII.COM ,this tool good sure ,and this website has good serive.

Did you ended up buying this turbosl2? Can you please share your experience. I am also looking for MB Start for my 2011 W204 CDI. It has developed a DPF issue that I am struggling with. Thanks.
