Mercedes-Benz cars are computers on wheels. If a simple sensor such as the ABS wheel speed sensor fails, half of the car's systems are disabled. If you want to fix the problem, you can either go to the dealer and pay for an hour or two of labor, or you can use a good diagnostic scanner to find out what is causing the problem. This is too expensive to buy, so you need to purchase it on a subscription basis. There are several diagnostic scanners that come very close to the functionality of the

Star Scanner. A good Mercedes-Benz scanner can read all the data from all the control devices. It's not just the codes that turn on the check engine light on your dashboard. The best scanners go beyond generic OBD2 codes and can also read OEM-specific codes and provide detailed information about your Mercedes-Benz. Benefits of Using a

What you need to know before you buy

Before you buy Star Diagnostic System with Xentry for Mercedes-Benz, there are a few things you should consider.

Learning Curve: To use the diagnostic scanner effectively, you must first become familiar with using the Xentry software. Reading and clearing trouble codes is not difficult, but anything beyond that requires proper training. Yes, there are some online instructions on how to do specific programming with Xentry. However, if you do the programming incorrectly, it may cause more problems than it solves.

SCN Online Coding: You can only perform SCN coding of control units if you purchase the scanner from an authorized Mercedes-Benz supplier. This is because the Mercedes Star Diagnostic scanner connects to the Mercedes-Benz database to check the SCN code and tries to activate the specific ECU. This is only possible if you have purchased a valid license. It allows basic coding and programming of control devices, but this programming can also be performed by other advanced scanners.

License: To access all the features of the Mercedes Star diagnostic scanner, you need to sign an annual subscription and pay a license fee. If you are only developing for one or two models of Mercedes-Benz, it is not economically viable.
