Can anyone recommend a decent aftermarket manual that won't break the bank? I am new to Mercedes and need some schoolin' on terminology and system operation. Some of the OEM tech data provided by generous contributors on this forum requires some basic knowledge that I haven't yet learned. I have an aviation electronics background so I have the digital/elctromechanical fundamentals down but just need Mercedes specific info (like how to navigate their wiring diagrams . I'm leery of the digital products on eBay but if someone know of a trustworthy source, I'm willing to go that route. I really don't know what I don't know about this world but I am motivated to learn. Especially since I have a problem that the dealer hasn't been able to solve! At $158/hr I want to roll up my sleeves and do what I can do before I hand it off to some kid fresh out of vo-tech.

Thanks!

Doesn't exist in the traditional sense.

Search ebay for WIS/ASRA/EPC. It's about $20 and you need to be computer savvy to use it. It's the dealer level parts and service documentation.

Most of these are web downloads from China or Europe. Are they all they same or are there a couple better than the rest?

Look for seller gary_ives or similar.

Thanks - exactly what I was looking for except I need a version that covers 2019 models. I've contacted the seller to see if he plans to have a newer version available.
