A Full Mercedes STAR alternative for under $200? | FOXWELL NT530 Plus Review

[@jfaz]

I freaking love your channel thank you for these clear cut explanations that are concise and to the point! I am beginner in the world of scanners but finally looking to get something like this now that I have a 2021 Sprinter OM651, and my W211 E55, relatives W212 OM651’s etc. question is do I need the 38 pin or 16 pin version?? Thank you!!!!

[@stevewuertz3598]

Great Diesel content here Frank. Thanks!! Question : are there multiple models for MB post 2000 or so (OBD2 being the jumping off point I guess) . I have a 2005 MB W211 320 CDI with the OM648 engine with the 722.6 (? ) or .9 -forgot

[@malaysianbaby4116]

Can you do a complete SBC pump brake bleed with this? (2005 E320 CDI)

[@TK-iu1xq]

Yes

[@joell9177]

do it clear transmission codes

[@joshuacarusi1977]

Can these units read live data of wheel sensors that control ABS?

[@Slim3rC10]

When is this being released? Is it the plus that allows adaptations or can you do this on the standard NT530 that is available for purchase?

[@TheGalifrey]

Have you tried the icarsoft MB 1.0 or 2.0? That's what I use as it has a good 38pin adaptor to do the modules on the older cars that don't have OBDII.

@MBDieselFreak I installed a Kenwood 10.1 head unit in my 2009 Mercedes Benz harmon kardon ntg 2.5 and was wondering if I can use the scanner for the command and change it to not present to see audio Nav on the instrumental cluster display? or do I need to go to dealer to use star? or can I use a fiber most loop to fix the ring or a canbus decoder? the in advance

[@PARDS2]

MBDIESELFREAK,,,,,,,,,In your experience,,,,,,,,can you compare the Foxwell to the CarSoft MN II,,,,,,,thx very much!

[@Ren200Z_MotoringLife]

I dont think so but does that code things out, on a 2004 clk500 i would like to code out the Tele Aid . i feel its only the star system that can do that

[@MBDieselFreak]

These newer scanners can code in options that the cars never had before. Shouldn't have any issue doing teleaid

[@LeVai11ant]

Can you change height on air suspension with this scanner ?

[@Amg641]

Hi does "stored" on my foxwell scanner mean the fault is still there? Stored(event) Stored&current Stored&current (event) Please tell me the difference

[@Slim3rC10]

Stored and current usually means it's still there, clear all codes imo and then rescan it.

[@darinmazakov9732]

Can you force DPF regeneration with this tester?

[@MBDieselFreak]

It has the option but I've never done it personally

[@jeremyocampo1529]

@@MBDieselFreakI assume any FoxWell will work? I’m planning on buying i53BT

[@autoarcheologist]

Do you know if the NT530 will measure or display fuel pressure? I’m having long starts on my OM642.

[@Slim3rC10]

Check for fuel leaks, the O rings sometimes fail around where the fuel line fits onto the injectors.

[@PARDS2]

Can this unit give you Transmission Temp during a Trans service for 722.9,,,,,thx!!!

[@MBDieselFreak]

Yup! Used it for that already on the GLK

[@PARDS2]

@@MBDieselFreak GREAT!!! I have 2 E320 cdis and a ML250,,,,,,,Love the 2 om648's,,,,,,the OM651 has 180k on it,,,,,,,hope it will last,,,,,little worried about the timing chain/and guides,,,,,,,,On the ML,,,,got some drive train vibration in Drive but not Park,,,,,maybe motor mount?

[@sprinterfix]

Meh, I am not sure if "need" is the correct term for needing to add a injector code haha. likely something more like "would be preferred" to add injector codes.....

[@MBDieselFreak]

For sure, not something that needs to be done, but something that is supposed to be done

[@sprinterfix]

Love your channel. It’s cool u are getting sponsorships now. I discussed some cool cheap scanners on my channel which I have yet to see anyone use. Program injectors with 50 dollar tool.

[@MBDieselFreak]

@sprinterfix there's TONS of software out there avaliable for pretty much any car, but the vast majority of them are laptop based. I prefer something I can keep in the car and fire up quickly.

[@JayMaverick]

For diesels it's pretty much mandatory. Or am I totally wrong? Afaik most diesels throw all the codes if the injectors aren't coded.

[@MBDieselFreak]

@@JayMaverick I know from expirence the om648 doesn't throw codes if the injectors aren't coded.

[@pfoxhound]

I have developer opinion. If you need, im 2 hours away.

[@sprinterfix]

Have you ever heard of two front tires being programmed into the ecu as different sizes then the rear two? Is that something one of the more exotic programs in the mercedes software suite can fix?

[@pfoxhound]

@@sprinterfix I said that I have it, didn't say that I'm trained. Some things I can change like SAI, oxygen sensors... Somewhere in settings this thing should be... I don't know where. I have as e320 cdi, but also staggered Sl55, e55 should have same wheels, but sl has different front and rear, so it settings should be somewhere there...

[@pfoxhound]

@@sprinterfix newer vehicles use xentry , vediamo, Monaco. I'm pretty sure that vediamo, Monaco will be those that you want to look up first. Start in the dev options will have everything in German, and it will be very hard to translate... There's a lot of tutorials that I saw couple years ago on forums, they had very primitive (simple) step by step guide, but I lost those bookmarks... My buddy's friend was doing all of the modes (not tuning) with vediamo, he was surprised that I was able to disable some of options (sai, secondary oxygen) with star...
