Any experience with this model of CAN/OBD Reader

Harbor Freight has this unit on sale for $99, reguarly $150. CAN OBD II Code Reader/EOBD Scanner. It claims to reset codes, read transmission control modules and power control modules. Any insight on this would be appreciated.

Do not be FOOLED into thinking that any OBD scanner will be able to read the MB transmission and chassis codes, because they won't. However they will read the generic transmission code sent to the ECU by the transmission module, but that's it.

Buy something that meets your needs
