Yeah I forgot about doing it through the control panel itself. Because I have a dealer background I forget about those things. As far as using a non OEM scanner to do it, I think some are better than others. The info falls under what is called "proprietary info", MB doesn't have to release this info if they don't want to, the "OBD" codes are the only thing they are obligated to release, although many manufacturers are releasing this info fairly soon aftetr the bugs are all worked out, takes a few years. They kinda realize that the dealerships would be overwhelmed if the aftermarket couldn't be allowed access to the various systems, they almost NEED the independents to work on them after the cars are over a few years old.
