There are no manuals and they didn't know what version it was either, but seemed a decent price to at least give it a try.

Cool!

Nope, not even remotely similar.

No, the MB-2A is for the older 8- and 16-pin ports used on the 6-cyl W124 and W201. For the newer stuff (2004, etc) you need the DL-16 OBD-II European adapter. It is NOT the same as the generic OBD-II adapter you are getting with the kit... the Euro adapter uses different keys.

Those will work with the 1994 S600. For the newer cars, I think you need S-17 as well (for the DL-16 cable), but I'm not certain.

 EPROM update chips |
Those are EPROM chips. Plug them into a "red" cartridge with clear housing (like the Asian 2001 cartridge) and it will change it into the MB 2003 cartridge. These are bootleg copies, not original Snap-On chips, but the real McCoy is almost impossible to locate these days. The complete cartridge (like
this one) is also not original, this seller just takes other/cheaper cartridges and pops in the MB bootleg chips to "make" the MB cartridge, then slaps a copy of the label on the front so it looks real. They work fine, but don't include the printed manuals you'd get with the genuine cartridge kit.
BTW, the scanner will tell you to use key S-20 to commincate with the W140 Basic Module (BM), this is a typo... you'll need S-34. There isn't much to play with in the BM anyway. The main good stuff is in the LH and E-GAS systems, which both work fine on the MT2500.
