Choice of OBD Diagnostic tool

Greetings all..need some advice from you gurus please. I would like to purchase an OBD diagnostic tool for personal use. Not entry level and not workshop usage calibre as well. My W221 currently has a LF ABS wheel sensor defect as diagnosed by the dealership. What unit would you advise I purchase? My curent Delphi DS150 just displays an RDU_212 error with 7266 code. If possible I would like to see the new unit display "LF ABS wheel sensor defective" or similar. Thanking all for a great forum.

What options have search results in this site generated for you?

Many people like the iCarsoft MB 2. Plug that into the search function.

Thanks for the prompt response..the Foxwell 510 (now 530) and NT 680 was suggested. Chatting to the local distributors here in ZA, they all claim their units can comply..obviously for the sale. Not easy getting refunds here in ZA for dis-satisfaction. I have just been looking at the Icarsoft MB 3.0..not too many reviews considering its recent launch. Also very difficult to get a pdf of the detailed specs on any diagnostic unit to view offline. I downloaded a user manual for the Icarsoft V3 and it actually has the speed sensor test screenshot which is explicit. Does not seem to be too shabby a unit for less than $200.

I seriously recommend you go with BenzNinja and a bootleg setup.
