    If buying stolen property suits your business needs clone can do some but not all of the work. For MB you can not program with a clone as the programming has to be SCN coded to work properly. That requires an online hook-up to MB. 

    We use Vag Com considerably but it is not even close to the capabilities of our OE VAS 5052A. Programming some coding and guided diagnostics are required to get the job done in so many issues.

    BMW can be done considerably with a clone but the current clone ISIS/ICOM run near $10k. A subscription 3GIO hook up through a BMW ICOM A2 is slower but less money and fully capable. Autologic is the efficient way to go with BMW/Mini but without testplan guidance one is left to pander the forums for guidance. BMW, MB, VW/Audi/Bentley, and Volvo all require OE tools to access diagnostic info that appears NO WHERE else. IDS for Jag and Land Rover also includes a huge amount of Diagnostic info available no where else.
