I have the same Carsoft 7.4 Interface............ works well with my 1997 SLK 230K

Are you using a 38pin diagnostic connector or the 16pin OBD11 connector?

Not familiar with your MB model....? year.....this interface is not compatible with CAN-BUS

Cheers

I have a 08/2001 C class and use OBD2 16 PIN connector.
Are you sure that it is not compatible with Can Bus?

Most sellers state 'compatible with original interface'......which I read to mean the 38pin interface before OBD11

An OBD11 cable was supplied with my unit, but I understand it only works with pre CAN-BUS MB's

Link to one seller who states 'Not compatible with CAN-BUS'
