EClass W212 OBD - any that show DPF details?

[nidgemo]

Was interested in getting an OBD system to keep an eye on my EClass (W212 facelift) DPF readings etc - I do have periods where I do a lot of short journeys, but similarly wouldn't mind at all taking the car for a drive when required - obviously, the car doesn't warn you this is needed, so I've been wondering does anyone know of any OBD software / scanners which would tell you DPF info like % full, amounts of soot / ash etc like a dealer can tell you (and even perform a forced regen if necessary)?

Had been looking into OBD2 software for car diagnostic | OBD Auto Doctor with a Carista dual bluetooth OBD adaptor, as this would allow me to run it through my Mac and iPhone, and this software can do force regen, but not the readings (I'm told it's "basic OBD2 software. It doesn't have access to any manufacturer specific capabilities. It has only the functionality of OBD2")

So, anyone know of any (ideally reasonably low cost!) that have these functionality?

Thanks!

Have a look at icarsoft mb2.

Don't know if I'm allowed to say this, but I have an Icarsoft MBII for sale if you're interested.
A little less than a year old, but now have an Autel so surplus to requirements.

Hi Cowley - does it do the functions I mentioned? If so, send me a direct message, as I'd be interested!

Which Autel did you get, and how do the two compare?

MaxiSys MS906BT which gives almost everything star does apart from programming.
I'm still trying to discover all its potential.
There is no comparison between the two
