I have been getting shifting issues with my 05 Coupe Limited and wanted to know if anyone has used the Foxwell NT520 series scanner to check codes? I know that we need to use the Mercedes software for our cars and this unit does come with that setup. Only have a budget for a unit under $200 so any advice or other option would be greatly appreciated.

 

For that money, you can buy the new Launch CP123E, which does more than my BOSCH1100 which cost me $79. (I really like my BOSCH, don't get me wrong.)


The ads for your device claim you can "reprogram" various modules, but it then says, "Those that can be programmed" - which tells me that it does no more than the '123 series.

 

The Foxwell with the Mercedes card reads much more than just trans, abs, srs and engine codes. It will also dig into all things Mercedes like seat adjustments, sun roof, all the do-dadas in the CD and mobile phone set up. It is Mercedes focused. The Crossfire doesn't have all that fancy stuff so if the CRP is less money it should do you well. I also own a Mercedes CLK 500 and the Foxwell has paid for itself ten times over already It is a good tool, but you do not need all the scans it will preform for your Crossfire. It is easy to use. I like it.

 

I personally use the iCarsoft i980 as it has helped me diagnose my car and ML320 as well as other mercedes time and time again.

 

What chassis is entered for the SRT-6 for scanners?

 

Not that I would know, but isn't it an R170, same as the SLK32amg?

 

i know for the icarsoft Mb scanner uses r170 16 pin socket for our cars
