As I stated in my request, I was hoping to get some factual information and statistics from those who have or are using the system, rather than speculation.
I had similar output from some fellow MB owner when I was going to acquire one of the Chinese made Xentry/multiplexers for my daily driver (MB E320). However, I bought one of them, and it works flawlessly.
As stated, I thank you very much for your time for your input; nevertheless, I like to obtain the views of those (apparently very few) that actually use the system.
BTW, I am talking about theh system that comes with a multiplexer.
Regards,
Zack

You are getting feed back from someone who has seen and used them. And some are rip-offs (old Durametric systems repackage), some are dangerous, and some actually work to varying degrees (mostly PIWIS version I). People that have purchased them bring them to the shop when they can't get them to do what they bought them for, or bring the unit and their car when they hooked it up and the car stopped running. We have pretty much seen it all.
Buying something like this from overseas (where they all seem to come from) without being able to see and test it before forking over the cash can be more than rather risky. Prices are also all over the place. We have seen people get version I units for less than $1K that worked, and other people spent a lot more and got something that did not work at all, or was not what it was supposed to be.
To me, that seems like a very risky game to play, so I would suggest proceeding with caution, but the final decision is yours.
