I have a 97 SL320 , 97 C280 and 97 E320 < parts car , all use the same system that is easily accessed with a star clone through the 38 pin connector. The systems are mostly the same and not difficult of expensive to work on.
Please let us know what cheap CAN bus scan tool will allow version coding and access to all systems in the newer cars you speak of.
