Star Diagnostic versus OBD2 code reader
I was perusing the schematics for my W210 for grins and giggles when I came upon this page. This one page shows why one should obtain a Star Diagnostic system rather than depending upon just an OBD2 code reader.
Follow the connections and see which connector supports what systems.

Agreed. While a Star Diagnostic system is pricier and more cumbersome than an OBDII reader, the versatility of a Star system provides so much more troubleshooting and testing capability that comparing the two is impossible. I have zero regrets in acquiring my Star system years ago.
