Arthur, what kit is this? A $59 laptop interface would be terrific, because there is a problem with my circuit. It's not that it's too complicated to use, because it is in fact very simple. The problem is that nobody is making them, and if someone wants one they have to go to some effort to order the parts and build it for themself.
I have a Carsoft-type interface that I bought from eBay for $130. It is the only alternative to an expensive Palm or AST scanner that I know of that simplifies the process of reading codes on the pulse systems of these older cars. The price is good, but it is only able to read/erase codes from a few of the systems on my '91 300SL.
My Carsoft interface works fine on '96 and newer Mercedes and is for sale.
