I am trying to diagnose a R129 ASR ABS light on problem thru the 38 pin diagnostic connector.
Which tool is the best or more bang for the buck? I am looking at both on e-bay looks like the MT2500,s are going for around $100.00 stripped down without cartridges & cables.
The chinese 7.4 multiplexer(copy of mercedes star) with all cables & software goes for about $200.00! wow................
Thats alot cheaper than the real star mercedes system going for $1,000.00 to $3,500.00 used!

I have done some research ,looking at some old posts from 07-08 it looks like the mt2500 will not look at ASR ABS systems on the 38 pin diagnostic connector cars.
It looks like a very versatile tool (MT2500) which can even look at the trans with the right cartridge.,But I am going to buy the chinese copy 7.4 multiplexer on ebay and will update you on the results. It goes for $109.00 with $75.00 shipping and will hook to any laptop. It is listed under diagnostic tools mercedes. If you want to take a look at it. John

Please post back on how well the china made knock-off works for you.

I'd be currious on whom you purchased it from- there are a lot of us out here driving M119 powered cars.

sorry too late, I just bought a brand new modis. retiring the 2500, it served well for many years.

by the time you bought the cartridge with euro and the mb1 cable plus key, if you could find them, the 2500 would have cost a lot more. the 2500 is no longer updateable, I was gonna buy a modis online, but the updates, and posibility the unit was hot or not paid for was high, just decided to go ahead a buy a new snap on modis. I love it.
