The Photoshop'ed license is a cute trick, but I can tell it's faked. You have a long way to go before you become a good forger.
First and foremost, the seal on the left side of the license would never partially overlap the title or be cut off at the bottom like this. The seal was obviously faked in. If that was a real license, why whould anyone try to do that?
That's where my shop is at! In Marietta! Maybe you can send your sister here to help Dudeman take a chill pill! lol
There you are... Cheap pops. Love it . My sister, if I had one, would come there (wherever there is), and put you over her knee and spank your butt. By the way, where in the world are you from pMercury? Russia somewhere?, eastern Europe?
Maybe we should start a game like "Where in the World is pMercury"
Here is the sad part. You think you're slick and smart, but you really aren't. You might be able to fool some newbies some times, but not everyone is gullible.
@speedlimit A month ago you told me you would take care of this issue if I backed off. And I did back off. But it's obvious nothing came of it. pMercury is still peddling his stuff, logging in under multiple accounts, which is supposed to be against the rules, yet here it is. And YOU KNOW that is a fake account. And he's doing it in order to promote his product using fake "satisfied customer reviews".
I just formed this new LLC used to be called Mercedes CLK Brokers...
I'm inclined to believe you, but isn't it true that Dream Machines was formed nearly two years ago on June 8, 2018? And why would a business located in Marietta Georgia have an Oakland California phone number? And finally, who is Stephanie C.?
eastern europe, russia lol all the people I work with have my private number, these are in majority no newbies at all
I whatsapp and video with them daily you are just a spreading fake news as usual
and everybody sees that you just changed subject, why don't you go on with the Remington being fake ?

What !! there's something fishy going on??? SAY IT AIN'T SO !!!

Comon, ask Leej to send his sister now and we will know, is it so difficult to take a mile drive ?
Fair enough. But Dudeman plainly requested your business number.
No. What's fishy is lying or thinking an event from two years ago just happened.
Anyhow, I believe you are actually a customer of Peter's, and you posted to this thread at his request.
and a very happy one like 100% of them, they are not beginners most of them, they have seen it all
everybody is free to chose the tools they want, Like Leej said earlier impartially
And this does not excuse Dudeman to insult me, anyone may express his opinions, discuss and so on, but you may not insult members like "YOU ARE A SHAMELESS SCUMBAG !!!"
This just shows he is a troubled person
I am not from Eastern Europe, not from Russia, I am 100% genuine Dutch and lived in New York for many many years
Corona Virus should get everybody realise what we are on this world and make ourselves better for the after corona
OK, so much as it pains me to write this, I will apologize to pMercury FOR THIS ONE INSTANCE.
I did call Remington at the number in the photo, and he is a real person, and he really did purchase a Xentry from pMercury, and is apparently satisfied with the product and service received. Nice guy, was looking for a product like this, found it here and bought it. So, since it works for him, great. Good job.
So if you feel like flaming me, go for it. I still stand by opinion of pMercury in general.
that is not a software setup, that is cloned junk
If you want cheap, get C3 and 2015 DAS not those chinese junk versions from 2016-2020
pm me for info on the real thing

@sean65 As you can see from the posts above, there are some strong opinions on this, and there are many options. I haven't purchased anything from PMercury, but others have and seem very happy.
Here is my experience (although I am sure there are others on the forum with more experience and knowledge that myself).
I bought a C3 multiplexer and cables from Aliexpress for about $185 (the seller was "obd2device", but there are many sellers on Aliexpress). If you go this route, I recommend finding a seller that has had numerous sales, appears to be in the OBD device business, and will hopefully be available to help you if needed. I also bought an HDD (for Dell 630) from the same seller for $50. The HDD had all the software on it, but still requires some setup once installed in a laptop. I bought an old Dell D630 on ebay for $55. I removed the original HDD from the Dell 630, and inserted the HDD from the Aliexpress seller, and everything booted up. You then have to set up the various software programs (EPC, DAS, Xentry, etc.) and there was some software tools on the HDD to help with this, but not a lot of instruction on how to proceed. I'm certainly no computer expert, and while I got about 80% through the process, I had trouble with a few things; I reached out to the seller, and he logged into the laptop via Team Viewer (which was already installed on the HDD) and finished the set up for me (no charge). After that, everything has worked perfectly, and I have about $290 in the whole system. The software version I have does have developer mode, although I have never had a need to use it. I mainly use mine for diagnostic and problem solving. I also have an old E320 (W211) and have used the SDS for that car as well (actually more than the R230). I only use this laptop for working on my car, and I have connected it to the internet, although some say you shouldn't do this (I had it on the internet with Team Viewer so the seller could help with the setup); but I don't have any other personal info on that laptop, so I don't have any security worries.
Since then, just for a project over Christmas, I bought an 120GB SATA Solid State Drive (SSD) on amazon for $30, and found a different version of SDS that I installed on the SSD (again, this took a little set up time), and it runs much faster than the HDD version I purchased on Aliexpress.
If setting all this up sounds too difficult or you don't enjoy doing things on your own, you can buy a complete system with multiplexer, laptop, and software installed and setup, but it will cost more. You can also purchase from an expert who offers additional support and help, but that will also cost more. It really just depends on how much you want to spend and how much time you are willing to take to figure it out yourself, and of course some risk that what you buy may not work.
Mine has been working fine, and I valued the learning experience and satisfaction of setting it up myself. The old laptop is a little clunky, but it is fine for what I am using it for; I'm only using it a few times a year anyway.
Again, this is just my experience; I know there are other options out there. By all means, explore those options and share what you find.
Maybe I didn't express myself properly above,
you will get a far more stable system with C3-2015 like Leej then with a C4-ChinaJunkXentry2016-2020 pack if you stick with your old MB forever
2016-2020 chinese versions are junk, not properly installed, unstable, manipulated (even windows is and cracked licence) worms and trojans included
the difference in price between these last and the real thing (just ask me) is ridiculous compared to maintenance & parts, I mean, this is Mercedes Benz, not Hyundai
and don't forget the really really budget choice: Foxwell that's only 100$
happy to see opinions can been given without hate as fuel and no insulting

I'm slightly interested in obtaining the latest release of Star Diagnosis from China, and I've gotten a completely different story from another website. The only thing I can't determine is if I can use my C3 multiplexer to diagnose an R230 with the very latest release of Star. (I know I can't diagnose a new M-B with a C3.)

Dudeman - just read through this thread and it’s sad someone like you can berate and insult another forum member and still be allowed to participate. Why you have so much pent up anger is really a mystery. But to wrongfully accuse and insult someone then apologize for being wrong really shows your lack of judgment. Worse, the casual DIY guy perusing this forum will really get turned off by your antics.
Sean65 - I got the Xentry system exactly for the reason you originally asked. I have an icaresoft ii. It does read some codes, but it did not allow me to do diagnostic work on my car like Xentry does. It was definitely worth the investment. I also got in touch with Pmercury. He can advise you on what laptop and multiplexer/software to get. I’m pretty good at wrenching, but the learning curve with the software is pretty steep. Some folks have been able to get the cheap Chinese software and work through it fine. But there’s been plenty of frustrated forum members who have had the cheap Chinese software crash on them. Even veteran Rodney (Rudeney) admitted to having his first Chinese system crash. I didn’t want to deal with any hiccups with software, so much I got in touch with Pmercury to advise me on which to get. Sorry you had to get bombarded with the above drivel. I concur with all that Remington said above. He knows his stuff and has helped me negotiate issues with the complicated systems like the vario roof, ABC system, V-12 online ECU upgrade (on my V-12 cars) and others that I would not have been able to figure out on my own or with icaresoft ii. Good luck!
