Am curious and excuse my ignorance.... can this new scanner (Thinkscan) or other equivalents indicate proper transmission fluid level at certain temperatures?

For what model year? That is a critical question, but my guess is that 100 buck scan tool will not have that even for the new models which may provide the feature.Am curious and excuse my ignorance.... can this new scanner (Thinkscan) or other equivalents indicate proper transmission fluid level at certain temperatures?

Thanks for your purchase and being a guinea pig.Ordered one today - $92.99 with coupon. Interested to see how well (or poorly) it works. Will report back.
Thank you Aqua Puttana.... a calibrated dipstick which I currently have. I use the ScanGauge II cooling temperature readings to determine closely the trans temp! No equal but close ???For what model year? That is a critical question, but my guess is that 100 buck scan tool will not have that even for the new models which may provide the feature.
None of the NAS aka NAFTA 2001 - 2018 Sprinters with NAG1 transmission have any sensor for transmission fluid level readings. The best that a 100 buck scan tool will provide is the transmission temperature that can be used along with the proper MB stop ear style temperature calibrated dipstick.
I believe the newer model VS30 Sprinters have no provision for a dipstick. Those models would have a transmission fluid level sensor.

Please take any DTC discussion to other threads. Otherwise it will take this Thinkscan thread too far off track.
Good call, didn’t mean to divert the conversation. Thanks!Please take any DTC discussion to other threads. Otherwise it will take this Thinkscan thread too far off track.
Here's a P261f71 discussion.

Maybe from another scan tool? I doubt you'll get it with the 100 buck Thinkscan.NCV3 needs SCR scanner capability.
That looks like sellers email address rather than the manufacturers email.I was just looking at the Thinkscan tool on Amazon (currently $99), and comparing it with the Foxwell NT510 Elite (currently $143) and noticed that they must be made by the same company, as the email address to check if your vehicle is covered by the tool (obdzon_assist3@163.com) is the same.
Can you verify that it definitely has Forced Regen capability? Looking to pick one up also.More pics of the screens:
I don't blame you for wanting verification.Can you verify that it definitely has Forced Regen capability? Looking to pick one up also.

Again.Need stand alone Adblue or SCR capable scanner.
Would this work for a 2020 vs30 Sprinter?A quick search didn't find anything in the Scanners section.
I have no experience at all with this scan tool. It just caught my eye. By the description and reviewing a few of the questions this looks like a decent deal for a basic MB friendly scan tool.

Today the Amazon Prime price is $114.99. There is also an additional $20 off coupon. A stand alone (no internet/data access needed) MB scan tool for under 100 bucks seems like an option worth considering.
Those Autel AP200 owners who often travel outside of internet/data access areas would be a candidate in my opinion.
