Can a 95 SL use an OBDII reader? "reads only OBDII codes 1996 and later models, which is, with a few exceptions," Just trying to find out if the 95 Sl's are this exception?

Yes, 1995 early adopters were C280, SL320 and S320.

Thanks, any suggestions on a good, inexpensive reader?

As posted..only on the USA SL320's in 1995. NOT on the SL500 or SL600

That's great because I opted to buy a SL320 instead of the SL500, again thanks.

My 95 E320 doesnt have an OBD2 port. Ive read posts that 95's were both Analogue and digital. However, I was at my mechanics today and the computer would only work on Analogue mode. When we tried to poll pin 14 or 8 with the digital mode, it would fail to communicate? Is this really a true analogue only system?

Not E's - just C, S and SL 104 motors in 95.

ahh i see. That would explain why it didnt work then...
