Bad luck if you have been lured into a C3 by ignorant people

Why you should NOT buy a C3 clone

1) Because it is slow and old
2) Because it connects true a OLD com port, most modern laptops younger than 12 years old do NOT have this port
3) The Star C3 got phased out by MB software in 2015. Those who pretend using any later version fully functional are liars.
4) You will never ever be able to use online functions, mandatory if you need online SCN to replace some vital Modules
5) You won't be able to do module updates as there is no updated database with old DAS
6) You will be trying to save 150$ and stuck in time with old cars only
7) You will get stuck with a old, unsupported Windows XP that has no drivers for descend speed laptops
8) Does not support trucks
9) Does not support latest VITAL Vediamo and DTS Monaco software versions

C3 is not a option anymore

The new, well select C4 has the possibility to have DOIP option for latest 2020 cars
If you invest, ONLY buy a C4 that covers ALL
>>>> Make sure you only buy a C4 that has ADG426B Chip and AM79C874VI Chip mentioned
Not mentioned = bad quality

C5 clones are FAKE ! C4 inside
C6 clones are limited

Only a genuine OEM C6 can do what the well selected C4 clone can do

And, as I said since ever, if you want a rock-solid setup that lasts in time and never ever fails
Avoid the Chinese junk

Hello,

I am confused by your posting, but I have to assume you work with the SD Connect Devices.

Do you happen to repair them, or know people who do? My C4 worked for a couple months then stopped connecting to my laptop.
