Want my own Star Diagnostic unit
I have a 2008 C300 and a friend has a 2006 S430. We want a diagonostic reader/code/input unit for just our two cars. Any help directing us to the applicable unit will be greatly appreciated

u can find them on ebay or alibaba for around 600$ check this one out http://www.ebay.com/itm/MB-Star-SD-Connect-C4-05-2014-for-Dell-630-HDD-Software-Mercedes-Benz-DAS-/221280008176?hash=item338550f7f0&vxp=mtr

Another source would be DHGate.com.
Some things to keep in mind while shopping. 1. Look for free shipping, preferably by DHL or the like. 2. Consider a C3 rather than a C4. Considerably easier to set up but does require a true serial port. Eliminates another layer of complexities that a USB adaptor would introduce. 3. Avoid "works on any computer" this means that its in a Virtual Machine (VM environment ) Again, more complexities best avoided. 4. Avoid "IBM T30" very old and pretty slow machines. Dell 620/630/820/830 all work very well and quite a bit faster with Core 2 Duo CPU ( up to 2.2 Ghz speed ) , SATA HD and they have a serial port. Among the very last laptops manufactured with one. I bought my system piece meal a year ago. All total to date the cost has been: $413 Dell D630 ( 2.1 Ghz processor, 120 gb HDD, 4 g ram ) = $81 + $15 shipping Ebay C3 Multiplexor = $225 shipped, sourced thru DHGate.com Xentry/DAS on Dell HDD = $93 shipped again thru DHgate.com |
thanks to both for your repy

Does anyone know if you can install the STAR hard drive for a T30 into a later Dell?

Going that route will require redoing your startkeys but probably worth it for the performance boost alone. |
