Star Diagnostic

Hey guys,

last night I was doing up some reading and realized there is a lot of stuff that could be done using the star diagnostic tool, for example lowering the ride of the car, making the key beep on locking and unlocking car and reading on error codes and all. I searched and found some cheap ones online

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Wonde...544233498.html

I think it's worth getting it , cuz the lowering module alone or programming or getting diagnostic done from someone else , any single of the above if I do at home will save me enough to cover the cost of the unit.

What are your thoughts ? has anyone ever dealt on aliexpress ? I know ali baba has lots of scammers but the main question is , do you think it's worth it ?? I recently had to get a diagnostic done at MB dealer ship and ended up paying 467.76 CDN for it.


Do you think one should get it ???


Thanks in Advance
