Real-World Performance: What the Pros Say I interviewed three independent Mercedes specialists who use the Amazing Road Xentry Link daily. Here is their feedback: “We used to fight with an old C4 multiplexer that took 20 minutes to scan a Sprinter. With the Amazing Road Link, the scan takes 2 minutes. The MOST ring initialization is flawless. It’s paid for itself ten times over in saved labor time alone.” – Tom, European Auto Werks “Coding a new air suspension module (Airmatic) used to fail halfway through because the old hardware couldn’t keep up.
