Need advise of equipment to obtain for servicing/coding on my car
Hi !
I have decided that i would like to buy the needed equipment to be able to do all needed work on my own car.
I have a S212 2012 model E220 CDI and are planning to buy whatever i need to be able to install additional equipment on my car that require programming/coding i addition to normal error code readings and repair/re-set.
Would like to have a system that are able to do "anything" that could arise.
Can someone please advise me of what to buy ? (Also it would be nice if it is able to use on all brands, not only Mercedes)
* Cost
* User frienldy/self explaining.
* Multi brand support.
Please advise !

Unless you are operating a repair shop or have multiple brands of cars you support, you should not need a multi-brand scanner. Good ones cost thousands of dollars and usually have yearly subscriptions costing hundreds of dollars. Still, none will be better than SDS/XENTRY for Mercedes.
