- This is by no means a full review of this little but very powerful portable scanner by Launch. But, if you have been looking for an alternative to even the MB scanner, for this price point, I don't think anything can beat it as of April of 2024.
To get a $30 discount, purchase it from the Amazon link below:

Pretty cool unit, I have the same one which works well on my 2008 C63
Thanks, Peter , for the feedback and confirmation.
Did I hear you say it will also work with other makes? Oh, can it also be used to show refrigerant pressures?
Yes, it works with other makes but you have to purchase them separately...see the end of the video where I show how.
Can it code certain features out? For example: i no longer have the airmatic system on my 2004 E500. I removed it all and replaced it with BC Coilovers. But because of this i always get the car image on the dash gauge at start up that shows a fault for the system obviously stating "visit workshop". That system fault can be coded out permanently but ive been lazy to go to a tech and get that done. Takes all of 5 minutes to do. Was wondering if that "Launch" item can accomplish that?
Thanx. Great vid! Nice item! And great price!
👍👍
Hi John - I am afraid I don't know the answer to that question. I would doubt it though...
Thanx 👍
If you find out anything on that capability please let me know...thanx
Would this be able to disable the tele aid warning on the dash? I got a 2001 s500
I haven't checked but will at next opportunity...
I did use the iCarsoft MBII for years and have never been really impressed by it. Functions are very limited and it's not interactive. All it can do is reading basic datas and faults. Nothing compared to what suggested by your video. Thanks for the introduction and link. Regarding Aromatic, can it control struts pressure and even deflate them for replacements?
Hi Michel. Yes, although the pressure is not so high to necessitate it. You can just gradually loosen the air connection at the strut to replace it.
How far back does it go as far as models? Does it cover 1996 models as well?
Yes.
But these cars have no OBD 2 port. They have 36 pin port. So you need multiplex adaptor.
Hi Akadectra - you are right. You may wish to write to them and see how to get an adapter. However, they do advertise it works with 1996 and newer Mercedes, Sprinter, and Maybach cars.
Yes, the software works. I personally use a more sophisticated Launch scanner and they supplied an adaptor in the diagnostic set. The Launch software works great with my 1998 E430. I have some nice Launch gadgets for my scanner such as battery tester, endoscope and even key programmer. I like my Launch products. Absolutely recommended 👍👍. Greetings from Bavaria.
Wunderbar und Danke schon.
