MB Star C4 Advantages:
MB Star C4, manufactured after year 2000, is the lately updated professional diagnostic equipment for Mercedes Benz cars. It is much difference in the shape from Compact3 and smaller in size, lighter in weight than Compact3. C4 2008 can do all the works what Compact3 does and it is the replacement of Compact3-Star.
