Benz MB STAR diagnosis IBMT30, Dell D630 and external HDD

All Mercedes Benz MB STAR Diagnostic system (MB STAR C3, MB STAR C4, MB SD C4 and Super MB STAR C3 multiplexer) is compatible with both internal (IBM T30 and Dell D630) and external software HDD. What are the difference among the there formats HDD?

Internal HDD:

1．IBM T30 format software HDD:

Computer requirement: IBM T30 laptop running Windows XP

Current version: 2014.05

T30 HDD is rather old software hdd for MB STAR diagnostic tools.

2. Dell D630 format software HDD:

Computer requirement: Dell D630 laptop running Win XP

Current version: V2015.05

If you get the MB SD Connect Compact 4 plus Dell D630 laptop, software is pre-installed before delivery. Directly run and use the software.

Any laptop/computer with COM-ports, MB STAR Diagnostic software can be loaded on Virtual machine.

In short:

Internal HDD (T30 and Dell D630 software HDD) runs faster than external HDD.

External HDD runs faster on Virtual machine than on default operating system.

Review Original Super MB Star C3 V2015.09 Diagnosis

I got super mb star c3 on Feb. 2015 for my Mercedes CLS 218. So far, it works well.

Why i picked super mb star c3?

1. Original. This super mb star c3's HDD is original.

2. Update online. This original super mb star c3 can be updated on the official website: www.supermbstar.com.

3. Super mb star c3 can diagnose for my CLS 218.

Purchase & package

€569.00 I paid with 5-day delivery. But it is a pity that the seller dropped the price (€550.00) when I wanted to make some comments for them.

All the items were packed well and nothing was damaged or with scratches.

Diagnostic function: (all I care about)

EIS EZS, ABR erase VIN, ABR VIN manual editing, ABR Eeprom memory, OFFLINE Programming, Air Conditioning, etc. These functions are what i am sure on my mercedes. And my friend has borrowed this diagnostic tool for his E207 to do IC belt warning, IC reverse gear warning, IC special settings, IC search mode unlock and SRS deactivate, CDI2 EGR adjustment, CDI4 EGR adjustment.

These are some of functions listed on the eobdtool web page, and super c3 really did well with my friend's E207 and my CLS 218. And recently, I am going to diagnose with my wife's 600 for it seems to something wrong with its SRS. I will try to do SRS System info, SRS training.

And there are some other functions on the web page I have no choice to make sure, but it will be good I think.

These are original super mb star c3 diagnostic tool I asked a professional technician to disassemble for me. He said I met an honest Chinese seller for it really was original, and the pcb board is really of high quality.

Pleased with this purchase. This diagnosis super mb star c3 is worth every penny.

Review Original Super MB Star C3 V2015.09 Diagnosis

Review 2015.09 MB SD C4 WiFi Diagnosis with Dell D630 Laptop

Amazing :) MB Star SD C4 diagnostic tool with Dell D630 laptop，wonderful bundle!!!

I purchased MB SD Connect Compact 4 diagnostic tool with Dell D630 two months ago from www.eobdtool.co.uk (my friend got Digiprog 3 from here) for my branch, Mercedes Benz vehicles repairing garage. I love it. Plug and play!! (pre-installed Vediamo V5.00.5) That is what I want.

Purchase & delivery

€619.00 with 5-day delivery.(But now it is only €599.00 when i got it)

Each item is packed well, without any scratch.

Then, I dissembled mb star sd c4 for pcb board.

Good quality!!

Diagnosis

I have done K line diagnosis and CAN BUS with this bundle on SL(230), SL(129), E(212), E(211), E(210), 124(124), S(222), S(221).

Also, i read & clear fault codes and did coding and programming on some of them: B(246), B(245), S(126), Vito(639),E(207), CLS(218), M(166), M(164), M(163), G(463), G(461)S(220), S(140), Eonic, Zetros, Actros, Atego Light, etc. MB SD C4 supports Mercedes Benz cars after the year 2000.

(the biggest benefit for me is the wifi!! Customers thought it's professional, and wifi diagnosis brought great convenience.)

Customer service

The customer service are very nice. I have consulted them for several times before and after my order. Patient and detailed! Their technicians are pretty professional, like me☺☺☺

Ps. I am a little nervous when i decided to order this combination. I have read a post on a forum complaining about China clone. But both my diagnostic tool MB Star SD C4 with Dell D630 work well until now. It is worth every penny!! Some of my fellows has ordered it recently.
