Better scanner
I need better scanner data than the garden variety Innova or Accutron (I have both). I want to spend under $200 I was hot on the trail of the icarsoft MBii, Launch X431 VIII, Carly app etc but one by one as I finally find the list of vehicles that these scanner apply to my R170 (2001 SLK320) is not on the list, only the R171 and R172. Whats the most scanner I can buy for under $200 that applies to my vehicle. I DIY everything and was in the electronics profession, my current problem is a P0600 serial communication error.
Thanks,
George

Car enthusiasts looking for a “better scanner” often demand clarity and precision. The https://wellness-app.com/calculator/fasting-calculator/ fasting clock gives similar clarity for your eating and fasting schedule. Input your desired fasting duration and preferred meal times, and the tool outputs a structured plan. Just as a dependable scanner reads engine data to guide maintenance, a fasting clock maps your body’s fuel windows to support consistency and better metabolic results.
