Looking for suggestions on a scanner and/or PC software & cable combo that can read & erase module codes Epson GT-10000 [13/63] Scanner Parts(specifically for the ESP+BA module on a W208 CLK 320). I can't justify a top tier purchase, so I'm curious as to what the cheapest option would be. Any and all help is appreciated.

Thanks!

Step-by-step maintenance procedures, such as brake fluid change on SBC brake systems and ABC flush on ABC suspensions. Annual software subscription to update software. (It remains functional, but uses the last update before the first year or current subscription ends.)

Thanks for chiming in! Any thoughts on this one as well? https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w...onal-more.html

Other than that, you are looking at a Xentry kit. I have the Xentry clones from China and rarely use them. I have both the MB Star C3 and C4 multiplexers.

It also updates over WiFi and has the OBD cable permanently attached. It has some other neat features, such as emailing scan reports, and seems to be a little faster.

Sweet and you also mentioned you could buy other makes and models to work on other cars, iCarsoft can't. I think it could be a great scanner for forum members.
