Neil (KE6DCJ) sent me some links for a "MB-scanner" that can do all MBs from 1987 to 2004, OBD or 38pin/16pin diag connector. The price is $90.

It does adaptation, live data to name a few important features. The 'bad' is that it requires a laptop to make it work. Other than that it looks like a great instrument.
