Best inexpensive way to do Xentry in 2026

I have a 2016 GLA 45 and a 2014 GLK. I have the WIS/virtual machine setup, but what is the best inexpensive way to get xentry working to diagnose and perform procedures on the car?

Specifically, I want to check the service history stored on the GLA and perform the transmission related functions related to a fluid change and the "learn in" to calibrate the shift forks and clutch movement.

Thanks

For transmission learn, just go to actuations after fluid change. The official SDconnect is overkill for your needs.
