As many of you know I am trying to install a V8 from a CL500 in my car and will need the electronics set up with the Star Diagnostic system. I have been quoted up to $2000 to have this programing done. I now see systems for sale for less than mechanics are quoting me and it would be nice to have this as I do my own work. These systems apear to be knock offs and in some cases the real thing but earlier versions that can't handle newer 2008-2009 MB cars. What do you guys think of these systems? Here is one example of many, but you also have to have an IBM T30 which can be had really cheap.
