Thanks. I seem to remember it being said that early 2000s Mercedes had
serious problems, but late '90s were okay.

1996 was the first year MBs had OBDII, mainly because it was mandated by law in

This is beginning to sound like a way for DIYers to deal with later model
Mercedes complexity as well as providing an interesting challenge. Does anyone
know the earliest year MB could be diagnosed with the OBD11?
Thanks,

Exactly.
The protocols for the OBDII data are the same no matter what, so the only real
variables are the means of transferring the data and the application used to
display it.

Yeah I know how it works, it's just that the blurb for the product did not
specify what app to use. I guess it is just a generic data transfer from the
reader to the ether and then your particular device and whatever app you have
grabs it and displays it?

I got a dealextreme email a day or two ago, it had a bluetooth OBDII
reader for cheepcheep, $20. Not sure what I would do with it, but there
you go. It is a big vague on how you bluetooth it to something.

You need a laptop, phone, tablet, etc. with Bluetooth. Then you pair the
device and reader, start the application on your device, and configure the
application for displays and logging. Basically the Bluetooth is just a
replacement for the cable that you'd otherwise have had.
I'm not sure whether BT OBD2 works with Apple devices, but on pretty much
any Android device (active connection or not, with or without SIM, very old
and slow, etc.) Torque will run fine.
Best,
