Got hit twice this week with older MB vehicles. '99 C230, '98 SLK230. One with an EVAP leak code, another with... Random symptoms. :silly: Only the Autel will talk to either, and it's missing functions on both vehicles. No bi-directional function for the vent valve, and no comm with the PSE. Frustrating.

Do you have any recommendations for a scanner that'll cover this generation of MB better? '05 and newer isn't an issue, as the Launch/Autel/Snappy seem to cover these well enough. It's the vehicles equipped with the 38-pin connector under the hood that don't play nice.
