ML 430
Can anybody recommend a fault code reader that works with an ML 430
I have an intermittent problem with my ML 420 and need to get it checked for any fault codes.
On previous cars I have always wasted time and money trying to find a reader that works with the car and am hoping somebody on here can help.
Does anybody have and recommendations on a good value code reader?
Thanks
Alex

When someone asks a question the obvious answer is usually not the answer they're looking for. Any old OBD scanner will do for reading CEL codes... That's true. But the other person and future readers of this post would like a little bit more than just any old OBD II scanner.
One scanner that I have used that will give you a whole lot more than a regular scanner is: Multi-system Scanner i980 from iCarsoft. It can be found for $130-$160 on various websites (amazon, ebay etc)

I too have the iCarSoft 1980 that I use on our 06ML350. This will also reset fault codes, and reset the SRS fault, which I had when the front seat was removed to repair a rip in the seat bottom.
