Will this scanner suffice?

[Jades]

Will keep reading through scanners section of forum. This is what I currently have and am wondering if this will suffice: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08NFLL3NT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1. It was throwing an input speed sensor code, so currently changing out the conductor plate, etc.

Sprinter 2500; 2007; 135k miles.

Thanks,
James

Useless info if you don't tell us what vehicle you have.

No, that is a generic scanner, not so useful for all the sprinter systems. It may even send you off on a wild goose chase with wrong descriptions of codes, depending on the app.

As Fourbye asked, what Sprinter do you have? Some scanners are better for some models.

In general the AP200 or the Thinkdiag are very capable for App / Phone based scanners.

I edited posting after Fourbye's response with sprinter details -- do you need more info? It's 2007, so NCV3.

The older T1Ns are "friendlier" with simple scanners.
When the NCV3 came out (and people migrated to that model), the number of wild-goose-chase reports increased dramatically, even with scanners that were migrated from the owner's T1Ns.

For a stand-alone scanner, the Autel MP 808 (multi-system) works well with an NCV3. Mid-$200
The cheaper ($75?) Autel AP200 (requires cell phone for display/buttons) requires Cell Service when first turned on (each time!), so don't help when you're "off the net". Choose "Benz_Sprinter" as your "free" download model.

Thanks, Dick. That’s a good overview. I regret not having gotten a T1N and will try to find one for my next conversion.

Where are you seeing this for Mid $200? I see one called maxpro but more like $500. Thanks

I fear that price was for an older model that no longer exists. sic transit "reasonable".

Thanks for the "heads-up".
