Seeking advice on which MB star diagnostic and where is best place to get one.

The thread title pretty much covers it..I've read a few conflicting threads on this forum and and another one too. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a "go to" aftermarket place to buy one from or if my best option is ebay or maybe allibaba..

Hi

I have heard some issues of Mercedes Benz not been happy with Star out in the market and people such as ourselves been able to own our own Star diagnostic system.

I am in Australia and purchased mine from a guy in Texas, if you are seriously keen on purchasing a full and complete working Star system with on-going support on how to use it feel free to send me a pm with your email and phone number and I will gladly pass it on for you.

He even looks after people near Antarctica (that's me!) and is a member on these forums so I am thinking he may reply to this thread.

Regards,

OZZYAMG

I purchased one also (from a member).

If you use it just a few times it pays for itself. I should have gotten it a lot sooner.

You don't need star to do a reset, just disconnect it for 3 mins like everyone else do, but for real, how much is it these days? On eBay people sell it for around 1k

I got mine from the guy in Houston as well. Awesome guy to deal with, very helpful and stands behind what he sells. I sent him a PM to direct him to this thread so if he has any more hopefully he will chime in here.

anyone that is selling one please send me a pm.

This is going to be a dumb question but this system allows us full access to configure the car and do adjustments, turn on/off settings , air suspension adjustments... etc. etc....

Thanks guys

Need to get one asap.
