MB star which interface to buy?
I'm coming from BMW world and now looking at getting into MB. For BMW I know the proper solution is to buy the original ICOM Next from dealer, but how bout MB? I did a bit of digging but didn't get a clear picture which interface and from where I should buy.

We need to know if it is for a big (independent) workshop or for private use.

Privat use and cars after 2004 with can communication you can try a vas5054 ( cheap ) or sd connect c4. The clones are a Russian roulette may work may not.

Currently with BMW I can do full software update on car, retrofits (NBT, Combox etc.), map updates, all the codings.. Had to fix quite a few cars that local dealer is inept to do. Recently fix two I-drives on F-series that dealer would have replaced the HU. One had corrupted software and was constantly booting and the other one had corrupt coding. I'd like to keep it under $2k, so that rules out genuine xentry vci. |

SDConnect (C4) with XDOS/Vediamo/DTS Monaco would be way below your budget and the HW should handle most of your tasks. However some SW updates for latest MB models would ask for DoIP support and DoIP is missing from all (decent) quality SDConnect clones.
A genuine eCom could be an option but it does not cover all older cars. |

Did some googling and it looks like it could be a solution for me. |

RE: MB star which interface to buy?
You can buy original used SDCOnnect units with DoIP inside or new Xentry VCI but you need find original unit. Here are units which looks like original but it´s not. It´s not the same update software for Bmw and for MB because MB official way is online coding and programming they have not offline option for software update calculation in their diagnostic software. Can be used software like Vediamo or DTS Monaco for programming but you need to know which software is update for control unit. Officialy is everything calculated in online MB world.

RE: MB star which interface to buy?
An original device would be nice but those are a bit hard to find as most of them (all of them?) are basically stolen (rented from Daimler, the owner did not return when he should have returned or "properly stolen"). Also the oldest ones did not have DoIP support. Then even the latest ones are already old and original devices have been used a lot. I just had a look at an original device but it had the CPU board changed and now the CPU board was misbehaving again.
I did not check but most likely you can find reliable sellers from the market place of this forum. Buying from China is a bit of lottery. |
