It will read some of the engine codes and some generic transmission
codes, but that is about it. The generic transmission codes will not
help you with transmission issues.

Poos posted something about this tool, $34 from China on ebay, comes
with a bunch of cable connectors but it might take until the next
decade to show up.

I was reading the BW forum and see this.

which I guess says you only need an OBD scanner, not a 38-pin thingie
which maybe deals with the other stuff in the car. I have a basic HF
OBD dongle reader that works fine on my trucks etc, would that work
(realizing I should just go try it, but I am having lunch at the
dumpooter now so I thought I would lazily ax)? Is the Benz OBD just
throwing codes (and will my dongle read them?), I could then look them
up?
On Amazon what appears to be the same device, minus all the adapters
and gender menders is $60.

So now I'm also wondering if one of those cheap bluetoof things that
talk to a phone would also work, they are only a few $$ from Banggood
or DX, what is special about this particular device? Plus it looks
like whatever S/W it has only runs on flavors of winders if you want
to use USB or even bluetoof I guess, which is annoying. I think I
could use a standard app on either the ifone or an android, which are
readily available for a few $$.
What should I do (besides going out to try the scanner I have to see
if it can read the codes on the 99 E$500D).
