GO!

Kinja'd!!!

I want to find a good one, free or paid. Preferably that does ABS too on a mercedes. Just to have on me. I have an Ethos scanner but want something more portable.

Alpine Rally for your time!

Do you want something to show OBD readouts or as a way to get into the diagnostic system without needing SDS?

Torque is my OBD app of choice.

mainly just to read codes on the road, but some data logging and live data would be helpful

ive been using torque pro on android for about 2 years now. At first it seemed buggy, but I discovered that it was my obd2 adapter did not like my a6. I bought my obdlink MX (now half the price I paid =\) and it works wonderfully.

As long as it's storing standard OBD2 codes, Torque can read that. My main point is that ABS on most late model Benzes are controlled by a different module that usually requires STAR Diagnostic System to access.
