Is this diagnostic tool for real?
The diagnostic tool that is in this ad looks like some kind of home made tool and looks like a joke.

Yes, it's home made. I think JimF posted a schematic on how to build it.
http://pages.prodigy.net/jforgione/MB_X11.html , menu item #2, bottom of the page.

It's not a "joke" but a home-brew (h/b) tool for reading DTCs stored in MB cars. A very handy tool to have for the later model MBs.
As Texholdem said, there's a sch and parts list in MENU#2 that shows what you need to build one. Nice tool to find out a direction to go when t/s your car's problems.

Oh I know it won't work for my 84's. I have those cars so I wouldn't need any weird diagnostic tools.
