Mercedes Diagnosis MB SD C4 and Dell D630 (Anniversary Sales)

GOOD NEWS FOR YOU!!I just got one Star diagnostic tool from www.eobdtool.co.uk, where, you know, has an anniversary sales. The link for all things in anniversary promotion: http://www.eobdtool.co.uk/. Hope it helps you. Post here just want to sharing some of my purchase experience--- MB SD C4 together with Dell D630.

I purchased the bundle mb sd c4 with Dell D630 for my Mercedes C204 (year:2011), suggestion by the post https://www.facebook.com/pages/Vehicles-diagnostic-tool/122966514705612.




































Yes!! As the post says, I got this mb sd c4 mercedes diagnosis bundle from www.eobdtool.co.uk with 5-day delivery and was packed well.


I have to say, this star diagnosis kit is really plug-and-play, very convenient!! As the post says, the technicians helped install the software XENTRY on Dell D630 before delivery, and I used it directly the moment I got it! You know, I am a lazy guy :D This plug-and-play kind of things are very suitable for me!

And I must mention that this bundle for my C204 is worth every penny.
This mb sd c4 with wifi supports wifi diagnosis; you can do online or offline programming.
The most important is that this mb sd c4 has a powerful function like reading out & erasing trouble codes, coding and programming for Mercedes Benz in all kinds of fault detection. This time I mainly used it for coding a SAM, checking to see what modules/computers might be malfunctioning, as well as checking the airmatic error. Of course, this mecedes diagnosis sd c4 has successfully helped me to do it, or I would not write this review :D

PS. It is a good time to have a Mercedes multiplexer SD C4 (6% off, more cheaper than buy the kit) if you have already has a Dell D630 with XP system.

 oh, forgot to say, it is said that a newer star diagnosis with D-LINK WIFI card has come out in the market; maybe you can have a try.

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.
