For those that might be interested, I’ve found that the Snap-On MT2500 and MTG2500 (color version) scanners are quite inexpensive and relatively easy to use compared to the Xentry systems with the computer, mux and cables.
I recently bought an MTG2500 on eBay for around $165. I had to spend maybe another $150 on Mercedes software, cables and “personality keys”, but I’ve sold all the software modules, cables and personality keys that came with the scanner I bought and have ended up covering what I spent for mine and making money on top of it. It’s not as good as the Xentry system, but it’s a lot easier to use, especially if you want to drive the car with the scanner connected to see things like engine and transmission data. I bought one because it’s a heck of a lot easier to use in the field when you go to look at a car. You don’t have to mess with all the Xentry stuff and find a power source. Not only that, if you have other cars in your driveway besides Mercedes you can get the software and cables for them, too. -D _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
