Diagnostic / Programming tools
Is there a commercial product I can use to connect to my C230 for programming the ECU or accessing diagnostic codes?

Hi
snapon in the US sell a MB diagnostic tool that is meant to be able to do everything that the Mercedes testers can do , with the following limitations
(a) No safety related system programming
(b) Officially only works up to MY99, so will have some functionaily missing for cars after 99
(c) Id imagine others features (such as door key programming) are missing
