Best J2534 interface/clone

[pauliusx9]

Hello fellow members,

I am looking for a J2534 interface that supports Xentry pass-thru sufficiently with a budget of £20-50.

Up to this point, my search/recommendations led me to the Tactrix Openport 2.0 interface (original price at £180). However, initially, I'm interested in trying more budget-friendly alternatives.

Car: 2009 C207 E350

Thank you.

albert Thanks. This information is going to be useful for everyone in this forum.

Additionally, if you could include rough price ranges, whether it is clone or orginal and information on where to source it, that would be great!

I purchased a Tactrix Openport 2.0 clone off aliexpress for under $20 USD. I'm looking forward to testing it once I have enough likes to download software from here.

i use autel j2534 and pulsar, they work great, but they arent worth 20$ I have had problems with tactrix as sometimes it has problems with some can modules

Im using Xentry-PT with openport2.0 original also with Scanmatik2 pro, both good choice, SM2 more expensive, but if you buy, you will have a good J2534 PT device for all diag sw also this is one of the best j2534 chiptuning tool in the market. Its a good future investment!

Thank you.

Best budged option is china clone Scanmatik 2 pro interface! AFAIK

I am using Scanmatik original, work ok until now and price is not so expensive!

There is no doubt that use of ori tools like Scanmatik 2 pro is best practice,
but original poster has mention that he is looking for budget solution in range of £20-50,
so...

Is there any difference between tActrix open port and chinese open port? Both should have the same features when using xentry or?
