The EPC (Electronic Parts Catalogue) is now officially and legitimately available online from DaimlerChrysler's own website. The subscription cost is a mere 15euros per annum (about US$18) (i.e. about the same as an almost unworkable and out-of-date Ebay pirate copy). The EPC works in Java. It includes everything the dealer has, except prices and I believe these are coming soon. It particularly gives the ability to search and screen by chassis number and special order codes.

The website opens in German, but the language can be set to English (or one of four others) using the drop down menu in the top right corner.
