FYI Exploring the Super MB Star M6+ Diagnostic System

[felipewdb]

@gerryvz has not actually tried to use his M6+ with his E500 so we don't know if he has a "good" system or not.

Oh, yes, I know, I meant through the hole process so far. I looking forward to know if he will succeed to connect to his E500.

I'm very tempted to send Seven a link to this thread but I will wait until we hear more from other people and their experiences.

It would be good. Maybe he could improve their process to deal with this kind of quality issue with their products and customer attention.

Thank you very much!

I have been out of the US for a while but am back. I apologize for not trying to connect the Star M6+ to my E500. I will try to get to this today / this evening. I think I have the time to do it. I will report back. If there is a problem, I will contact Seven directly and tell him that I want to get the problem solved with the adapter.

No apologies needed, it will be interesting to hear how you get on though.

I guess this is what is changing everybody's perspective on the new systems.

I am perfectly happy with my CCD supplied C4 clone, CCD supplied Lenovo Thinkpad with software, and CCD supplied 38 pin cable, which connects just fine with my 1993 w124 and my 2002 w210. I most recently used it to troubleshoot @Russell R Coe ‘s 036. Call me Mr. Obsolete.

The big question is... if someone were to order this same hardware + software kit today, would it work... or not?

Let's see what Gerry comes up with. If his unit has an issue or should it not work perfectly I am sure he will contact Seven and inform him of any issue. Many of us have had some kind of experience with quality control. Heck, just think of the differences between different year same model of MB's! I can only imagine that QC is exponetial in CCP. That is at least what I have seen in other industries.

Interested too. I am tempted to get this instead of roll the dice on a C4 for practically the same cost. (1995 OBDI 38pin R129).
