New to me 2006 S55 AMG

So I just sold my Porsche 928 GTS 5 speed after I owned and cared for it well over 10 years.

I'm in the market to buy diagnostic equipment for the S55 AMG and like to learn if there are any recommendations from forum members.

Thanks H

Congrats! I got mine 2 months ago too.
I purchased my star system w/multiplexer C4 from e-bay which is a Chinese copy. It works pretty good for me.

Thanks do you have link for that supplier. I have looked at several of them and I'm also talking with some guys out of Houston. I have a computer background but not much time to tinker and put something together so a ready out of the box system is what I'm looking for.

You don't want to do that. Once you drive it with a well sorted ABC system, you'll understand there's really nothing better. It's worth it to just maintain the system, in my view.
