I've read a lot of post on the forum regarding diagnostic software + scanners.
My question is: I'm looking for a pretty comprehensive device that will obviously code read but also give some live data feedback.
Star would be ideal but not at the £000's retail price.
As most of you are aware there are loads of different companies offering more or less the same software/laptop bundles 2 random ones are below:
Mercedes-Benz C3 star Diagnostic Tool [IBM T30]
Auto Diagnostic Tools|Car Diagnostics
Both state "NON CHINESE" so they'll be from somewhere else in Asia then
.
Also found:
Autel MD702 MaxiDiag Elite All Systems Enhanced Code Reader for some European cars
Obvious worries are lumping out around £500 - £600 for something that is basically a code reader on a laptop or worse just doesn't work.
Any help or personnel reviews or links would be very much appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
