How to Choose OBD2 Scanner for Sprinter T1N?

Here is My Spinter T1N diagnostic scanner working experience.

DAD = approx. $300.00 + Dell D630 used computer.
iCarsoft MBII = approx. $125.00
Autel MD808 Pro = about 200 bucks.
Autel AP200 = under 40 bucks.

I carry the DAD and the MD808 pro when traveling. Knock/touch wood before saying this ... so far I've never needed to use them on a trip. The DAD pulled me out of trouble after I distorted a tone ring during rear wheel bearing replacement. I needed a scan tool for my O2 sensor LHM cure. Other than those times I believe that I have just used them for tinkering and helping others.

To be clear, I feel the money that I spent makes sense.

Early on for a relatively reasonable priced Sprinter scanner the DAD was a good deal. It needs a computer. It doesn't like cold temperatures.

Then the iCarsoft MBII came around. It is stand alone. It accesses most all modules needed. It is MB/Sprinter specific except as a generic OBDII scan tool.

The Autel MD808 Pro is also stand alone. It accesses most all Sprinter modules needed. It is good for use on many vehicle makes and models.

The Autel AP200. It accesses most all Sprinter modules needed plus the Eberspacher heaters. It is not stand alone. It needs internet access and a cell phone to work. (Maybe a computer can download the Autel AP200 app.) It is one brand vehicle specific without extra cost. It's a great scan tool for around the home base.

My opinion.
The Autel MD808 Pro would be my choice. It is stand alone. It can be used on many different brand vehicles. It will do what is needed to help to get a T1N Sprinter out of trouble. It will likely work for most other Sprinter models to give a troubleshooting direction. If you give a decent vehicle mechanic a MD808 Pro scan tool it will likely help to repair the problem. A mechanic may not receive the cell phone based AP200 as readily.

Carrying a decent Sprinter specific scan tool can have benefit. Spending lots of money shouldn't be necessary.
