Just wanted to share my brief experience so far with the Auto Enginuity ST-06 ScanTool. My 2005 T1N w/ 200k miles has been hard to start when hot, and turned on the MIL light. (Runs fine, starts fine cold, and will restart after a moderate period when hot.) I plan on keeping the vehicle for a long time, am very mechanical, and I live two hours from the nearest dealer so the $500 investment didn't bother me. Got the package today, installed with zero issues on my 10 year old laptop running Windows XP, and after a few tries got it to connect with the Sprinter. (Seems to work better if you plug the vehicle in first, and then start the software.) It immediately showed the Cam Sensor fault code, new one is on the way (along with the crank sensor for good measure.) I'll follow up here once they are replaced but judging from multiple posts I think it very likely this is the problem. I spent about 30 minutes playing with the live graphing features and they seem to work great. I have no doubt the tool will come in handy as the vehicle ages, and I feel it already was worth the investment as it saved me a whole day of travel and waiting at the dealer.
Bonus for me is expanded modules are available for just about every vehicle, albeit at $230 a pop. I have a 2007 Land Rover LR3 and a 2010 Audi A3, I know I will be working on the former soon and the latter at some point!
Cheers, Erik
