I was exited at first but seems like it’s actually worse than some OBD adapters. I would get a OBDLink MX2 with super fast refresh and compatibility with numerous apps.
Carly is a scam. I ordered the premium option with smart mechanic and they responded that I need to buy the scanner again even though the web store. Says the scanner is free. I wrote to support and they just send a canned response. Avoid Carly
There is no OBD or even scanner will be able to work on mercedes since 2021/2022 since merceds locked their ECUs on all their car and I have Carly and many other scanners and their providers says this on their websites. Too bad.
Well I buy the motorsure obd2 with less money and active it the amg for 7.99 and the sport plus for 8.99 and the race for 8.99 and the star stop off bec any time you star the engines you have to do over and over and cost me less money for Carly I believe
Heads up - different vehicle (Range Rover/BMW) - but customer service was, in my experience, terrible. Full of promises to "..definitely fix this for you as soon as possible..." but really of very little help in my case. It turned out the device wasn't compatible for that vehicle, despite being assured that it was. At least it works fine on second vehicle (Nissan).
This sounds really good, I'm on the market after a CLK (I know it's old but it's the best and as a MB fan I only want the best 😆) so what are the chances I go to a seller and ask the seller permission to connect this Carly? What are the chances that the seller is no tech wizard at all and might be actually scared that I download a virus or tracker or modify all the car settings so a thief can open and start the car without a key? Would you let a stranger connect a device to your car temporary? I wouldn't
I have always taken a portable scanner (e.g., iCarsoft MB V3.0) when buying a used car, even from a dealership. Anyone NOT letting you scan the car for codes (remember, you can have a serious problem without a CEL/MIL) doesn't get my money. If I am selling a car, I'm happy to let the potential buyer use MY scanner.
You cannot with this device, That was a selling point as Carley Advertised it as a car coder also, but it does not support Mercedes, so if your looking for that, there are options out there that will allow you to code, they are $100 and up and are via OBD
There is no OBD or even scanner will be able to work on mercedes since 2021/2022 since merceds locked their ECUs on all their car and I have Carly and many other scanners and their providers says this on their websites. Too bad.
Does anyone know if Carly can force a DPF regen, and/or read the soot content and/or read which component failed failed to cause the DPF to become blocked? I have a scanner that tells me my DPF is blocked, but doesn't tell me which component failed or why it's blocked. (Only just brought the car so i didn't cause the blockage). Going back to the dealer but if Carly can pinpoint the issue i have more information to potentially get a refund if they can't fix it.
Ex owner did short journeys probably,Sooted up the dpf,Carly supposedly does a forced regeneration of the dpf,You can do it yourself by going for a 50 minute drive at 45-50 miles an hour to get that exhaust hot,Carly shows you the soot and ash content,All of a sudden your car will come back to life.
So if you pay once for the annual subscription you have all the necessary features. Correct? Therefore , no need to renew subscription for the next year. Am I missing something here? Thanks.
@@killerhertzmercedes thanks, but what I asked is if I cancel the subscription at some time , do I have access to the extra features I paid for or not (for example the app locks you out of the extra features). Hope you understand.
Hey, the review was understanding and excellent. I have a W212 March 2010 E250 CGI with the Audio 20 System, NOT the COMAND and it doesn't support bluetooth audio streaming. Can this dongle help me activate it?

Did you not listen to the guy @ 12min 15sec into the video? Customization/recoding/enabling hidden or turned off features which are available on other vehicles, is NOT supported for Mercedes Benz vehicles due to the complexity of the coding.
Hello, I would like to know if with the Carly adapter I can add the AMG logo on the meter of a 2013 Mercedes C-class. 220 CDI, and if Carly also adapts to this vehicle? Thank you.
It was and is a bad buy, bought it to code, disabling the start stop system, the coding menu is not present, so coding is not possible. Furthermore, it concerns a one-year subscription, after 1 year you pay the full price, no discounts.
@@killerhertzmercedes Thanks. Do you know of any apps free or cheap that allow an elm327 blue tooth ODB II adapter to read and access additional features for Mercedes?
Question, do you think this tool will be able to remove a battery warning on my cls 350 2006? I bought it second hand recently with full service books and the battery was replaced at a local mechanic instead of a Mercedes dealership. There's nothing wrong with the battery at all but it's annoying to have the battery warning everytime I start the car so I'm hoping this would be able to get rid of it rather than for me to take it to Mercedes and charge me alot.
@@killerhertzmercedes that's clear about diagnostic (may of that I can do with Torque), I'm looking any options to change setting, I want to switch outside temperature indicator from F to C
@@killerhertzmercedes nope, I can't to that for SLK 350 R172 body from the USA market, there are no options for temperature indicator, only km/miles available
Hello good day!! Quick question! I have a 2010 c63 recently my Navi has been acting up it works for about 5 seconds then a message pops up on the screen saying "DRIVE UNAVAILABLE" it started doing this after I tried installing a radar detector tapping into the connections where the rain sensor is connected. The whole command system has been acting really slow and turns off randomly while driving Wondering if I screwed up the whole hard drive? Or what might've happened? Can you please help?!
So, other than reading/clearing fault codes, the Carly device is completely useless for anyone who owns a Mercedes Benz, since customization/enabling hidden features is not supported for Mercedes vehicles? So, no point buying one really...
@@killerhertzmercedes So the options we see people changing/enabling on their dash displays with the Carly device are just disabled on that particular model, not hidden? I'm a bit confused 🤔🙄
@@ozymandias7940 Hi, as explained in the video these are not available for mercedes models, only for VAG group or BMWs... Same with all other diagnostic tools, such as my iCarSoft units I have also reviewed. Check out those videos also if you haven't
I’ve had a Carly for 12 months,Take it from me it’s crap,And costs the earth to use,I don’t use it anymore,I’ve bought other devices that work better,I once registered supposedly a new battery,I checked on another device the registration history,Carly hadn’t done it,Need I say more,Crap.

Carly don't tell you about the yearly subscription which is not cheap

Very helpful and useful video for all Benz owners. Just a quick question does this have the option to scan speed sensors?
Dont think so, however if you check out my iCarsoft videos, they should help

Is good for sprinter van
Unfortunately Does not allow to activate functions like obd eleven do for Audì
Wat do you mean ?
1st, Carly requires an annual subscription (haven't watched the video, so I don't know if this was covered).
Great review and thanks for the promo code - just ordered mine.
Dose this do your tire rest pls
I was curious of you can turn on or off particular options or mods.

good video, can I read all sensors of ML250 2015
Can it be done for TCM reset to escape form "Limp Home Mode", after Transmission oil change, conductor plate, 13-pin plug replacement? Thanks.
You need STAR or possibly iCarSoft CR MAX for this.

Save 10% on your Carly device with code "KillerHERTZ10" until July 31st- bit.ly/3bG44lf
It’s shitty product with a shady subscription system. It’s a scam. Stop trying to sell your viewers scam products.
Does the Carly App work with other Elm 327 compatable devices?
Only works with their own device...

@@dennisrobinson8008 No, you get what you pay for! Use Carly or iCarSoft (see my other video).
can this code AMG Display in Mercedes? please let me know
No it cannot, you will need Xentry for that.
Can you change the parking sensor beeping late?
Check my latest video - 5 hidden features. I feature the option on that.
Will this find the airbag fault on my a45?
Update: Yes, it does. It also has live data, which helped me find a sensor fault on a wheel
Can we update the car audio system software version using this? Similar to that of using the xentry kit.
no, you will need Xentry/Star
@@killerhertzmercedes thanks. Do you have a link to the star system you showed at the start of the video or what's specs etc it was? Thanks
Can I buy this for my qashqai?
Will this work on a 2003 Mercedes Vito ? if not what will work ?
Yes this should work, you might be better to check out the iCarSoft machine (check out my other videos).
V useful review squire! 👍👍🙏
It is possible to set your rear lights to run all the time the same as the DRL on the CLA ?
Should be an option in the dash clusters, constant lighting or somthing. this keeps the sidelights on however.
do you have to subscribe to smart mechanic to get the google feature?
Google feature should be available for all.

Have you replaced both batteries? was the replacement new?
Pretty sure new batteries need to be reset, S the car doesn’t instantly know you’ve got a new battery

Yes

Glad it helped :)
Is it possible to see all warnings that have been cleared?
If they are historic and you have cleared them I believe not
Is that possible to change car settings with that? E.g. To switch F temperature to C?
You can do this in your cars dash cluster, you dont need any diagnostic tools.
