I saw a few examples of the CD's. They are pretty comprehensive. Unless you do serious upgrades and mechanical stuff to your car I really do not see the return on investmet. Maybe a group buy would be the best bet. Too bad someone did not have a server and can post CD for those who purchased it. In that way they have access 24/7.

$95 is for the nfoaccess CD-Rom. The Infoaccess CD-Rom does not contain all the neat items that they PDF's show. The Infoaccess CD-Rom is sort of a multimedia breakdown of the vehicle. While the Infoaccess CD-Rom has some intereting items, it isn't a service manual at all.

MB has the entire library online for like $20 per day. So if you really need to dig into a project log onto that get what you want and bail out. Not worth buying the whole library every since that came out.

I can't recall the URL though - dig around I'm sure it's posted here somehwere.

I have the tech info cd and not really worth it. It basically outlines the features of the car and nothing more. The startekinfo.com site is really worth it. Pay 18 bucks for 1 day and download all the docs you want. It has everything in there for taking apart everything in your car and all wiring diagrams. I have several thousand pages of this stuff printed out.
