Last I heard was about 25K and 3K a year for updates.

There have been some cases of a few pirated, hacked whatever you want to call them illegal units running around out there for about 8K.

MB is now selling a "cheaper" version of the star diagnostic for the aftermarket for around $10,000. & that includes a 1 year subscription to ON-LINE WIS. Check with MBUSA.
Also ON-LINE WIS will be available to anyone with $$$. I believe that will happen in January.
All car makers must make this info available because of the "Right to information" ACT.

Thanks M.B. Doc,
Do you have any contact info or do I just contact the dealer?

Thanks, Brian
