VXDIAG BENZ Star C6 Review: Works perfectly on Mercedes-Benz R300/ 221 ME9.7

VXDIAG for XENTRY diagnosis VCI also called Star C6, which is used for Benz C6 multiplexer to provide complete communication between a vehicle and the VXDIAG for XENTRY software loaded on a PC.

I bought VXDIAG BENZ Star C6 last month. It cost me €385.00 with free shipping.
