Need a scanner or laptop based diag software. Basically need something good with live data. I want to see what is going on with the car at 2200rpm.
 
iCarsoft MB v3.0 or Carly for Mercedes.

The former is better, the latter is a mobile phone app so easier to use.
 
Both have discount codes available. Check the sticky threads in the Electronics section
 
Thank you guys for the help
 
My icarsoft CRmax is woeful for data logging and analysis. Their website doesn't suggest the MB3 is any better.

The sample rate is so slow, all the detail gets aliased.

Parameters are organised in predefined groups, so you can't look at say MAF and Rail Pressure at same time. (to me it looks like they tried to copy some of the layouts from the Xentry tests, but without any of the of the useful info).

If you graph the data, the X axis only shows a few seconds at time. You can't change the scale.

Multiple Y axes, good luck.

You want to export the data, no chance. You can print the data, in record form, so one table of data for each X sample point. So you get a pdf of hundreds of tables...

Have I put you off yet?

@W212Chris recently bought an Autel which looked a lot more promising. Any updates on how this is working out?
