A month or so ago I purchased a star diagnostic system via AliExpress and today I had some time got it all working running on an old laptop as a vm with usb com port adaptor.

Boots up in no time and just ran first short diagnostics test and came up with a few old errors which have now been cleared.

Next time car goes in limp mode because of faulty speed sensor due to excessive rain I can at least clear it instead of limping for 160 miles on my way to Calais / Dover crossing.

I went for usb hdd option and copied the vm files onto my own laptop and tried 2 different usb com port adaptors and only second one worked (com port 2 on vm)

I can provide link of usb com adaptor if you go down this path.

Also there will be some import duties payable.

Btw looks like it is a c3 and not c4 as no lan cable or WiFi but this was not so important to me.

Hi does this STAR system you purchased have the developer mode? Thanks.
 
The machines off AliExpress are clones (Pirated machines).

Please do not discuss on here as we dont want a Law suite from Mercedes against the forum.
