I use the iOS version of this unit connected to an iPad with Dashcommand and have had no issues. Great buy!

Toadster

yup i have this one too - works awesome with Dash Command

tlambert

You guys have a link to what you bought.

TheTherapist

This one works with both Android and iOS:



Not sure why the other one is restricted to Android as they both look exactly the same? Anyway still under $20 so you cant go wrong!

cardoza

So you can read and reset codes with this?

Toadster

Hi Guys
I also have one. I am interested to know if the power and torque figures are accurate? I have 83mm pulley, short headers and EC tune and was expecting more than the command dash stated

Cheers

Jeffas

Toadster

Dash Command will give you a guesstimate

a real dyno will give more accurate numbers

i see a couple of different belts on the list. I got a smaller supercharger pulley. Just hit a 100k changed them at 60k which one yal think i should go with. might as well replace all the belts. Which ones you recommend

Jeffas

I retained the std belt for the 83mm.

Toadster

I've used the slightly smaller one on my 83mm pulley

Gates K080505HD V-Belt $33 (5mm tighter - great for smaller S/C pulley)

I change it about every 10k miles

epc showed that there would not be drive shaft rubber boots available. just the entire driveshaft. any ideas? i know the universal outer boot kits but would like the specific ones and especially the inner boots!

tlambert

Are you talking about the CV boots?

If so I would like to know also.

Elhonaz

Yeah thats probably the correct " word" for them

tlambert

I would like to know about replacing the cv boots also.

Is that even an option on the w211?

Anyone know about this?

Just as information on the Trans Dip stick tube. I didn't read the whole thread, but maybe these part numbers will help someone on the Transmission part of the original thread. ..

Copied from another post I had found.

"In order to check the transmission fluid level, you need the MB factory dipstick tool, pn 140 589 15 21 00. Plus, when you pry off the cap to the dipstick tube, you will need a new lock pin for the filler tube (pn 140 991 00 55). And don't forget to replace the seal while you're at it (pn 022 997 22 48).

The dip stick has two measuring ranges, one for cold and one for hot. The only way to determine the exact transmission oil level is when the fluid is hot - at precisely 80 degrees Celsius.

In order to measure the transmission oil temperature, use your Star Diagnostic tool, or if you don't have one (like most of us), then use a infrared thermometer on the transmission pan.

The key is never to have too little or too much fluid in the transmission; otherwise damage will result."
