I bought the next step up, it was like $169. Well worth it. Buy it.

It's not going to do any coding, you'd need STAR for that. It can put SBC into service mode for pads, it can scan pretty much any system on the car, it can reset the steering angle sensor after an alignment, it can reset the maintenance indicator (yes I know you can do this without a tool), etc.

Mine diagnosed and fixed my airbag light sensor. One hour diagnosis, no parts, no repair at the dealer would have been roughly what I paid for the scan tool. So I'd say it's money well spent.

Using data-streaming I figured out that a $13 sensor was totally screwing my CDI too.

Well. I've re-convinced myself it was a good purchase haha. Used it on my E55, cleared a BAS warning on a friends 210, diagnosed a transmission issue on a 203 with it, reset the maintenance light on the sprinter, etc. It also work as a generic OBD2 scan tool, so I've used it on my BMWs and the F250.
