Then the dispute period expired after 30 days or so. So refunds/exchanges are all up to the honesty of the crook on the other side.

I will try to get Aliexpress involved, but at this moment (after 3++ months) there's not much that can be done. I have his name, number, and address, anyone in Guangdong area?


I will get screenshots of our communication, if anyone is interested...

Many sellers offer payment by paypal (but not on ali page)
Try to write seller before you order. i always paid by paypal on aliexpress

Yes, as a above what Andi says... I spent a few weeks communicating with my seller, you soon see if they any good,as if they want a really quick buck they don't reply anymore..

I'll let you know when I pick mine up tomorrow from post office... But so far, good comns and they used PayPal, so little worries there, sorry this doesn't help you though...

On a sidenote, your sdconnect spelling on the case looked terrible... Maybe a clue to quality ? fail

Learning is good, SHARING is BETTER hi

If my post helps you, don't be shy, say thanks & rep ! yes

RE: Best place to buy tools?
If you are referring to my pictures in my other thread, that's XCar360.com's sd connect. It's misspelled, but quality way better than my Aliexpress one. I figured it is on purpose for evading copyright.

XCar360.com (and Steven) have been real good to me so far. And I used Paypal for everything with them. But it's the original Aliexpress seller that is the thief.


So far I am on my 3rd SDConnect:

-1. Aliexpress, failed after 3 months, "repaired" after 1 month of waiting, worked less than 24h, sent back for refund, ROBBED.

-2. Much nicer XCar360.com unit. LAN card stopped sending info after 1 week. They wanted to troubleshoot and schedule teamviewer support... BUT all my settings on 2 laptops were correct...

-3. So I ordered another new bare unit from XCar360.com and it came in 3 days (need right away). Worked with my laptop, plug and play. Sent broken LAN one back for exchange, and I will be keeping exchange unit as well. Exchange has not arrived yet.

The misspelled XCar360.com ones are much nicer inside, the shell is nicer and the rubber endcaps are quality. Hope it was a rare failure. The new bare one works fine so far.




(Warning: below be opinions)
Anyways, after all these experiences, I am giving up on working on Mercedes. All the above were me helping a friend.. Not my own use. And I end up on the losing end, after trying to be nice. Never again. I have had it with Mercedes's convoluted ways (ex. Can flash just fine, but coding HAS to be online??), and will stick to BMWs and their factory tools.
