Part was $369.60 and Labor $327.90 for total of $697.50 + Tax.
On the topic of the iCarSoft MBII reader... it is certainly better and far more capable than a standard OBDII code reader. I paid $160 for it delivered. My wife also drives a MB BlueTec and I was tempted to go big for the XENTRY system but reconsidered that and went for the iCarSoft when I heard that XENTRY requires a subscription. If you end up getting XENTRY please share your thoughts on what you think about the experience.
Thanks,
Ken

Wow, now I know why they call it the "Stealership". That sensor is available online (genuine MB) for around $250. I can't imagine it being very hard to install that it would cost $369 for labor. I am glad I can still work on these cars, as I would go bankrupt in a hurry if was not able to do so!
