Workshop Information System
Does anyone have a recommendation on how to source the Workshop Information System? I.e. the software which instructs you on how to perform certain maintenance, provides you with engine diagrams etc...

Try emanualonline. If will require you to download software to access it (only once). You can add your VIN and get the correct WIS documents for your car.
I paid a one off lifetime fee a few years ago. Works well even if its a bit cluncky getting into it each time. If you want to save or print the documents, ask them to set it up on your computer. I've found it to be very helpful.

I have looked emanualonline more than once - but was leery because of some reviews.
What modules does it offer in the WIS?
Are EPC, or StarTekInfo, or wiring diagrams included as well?
(I have emailed them for 'a sample page(s)' in pdf etc but with no joy.)
Did you buy the "Premium or Ultimate" which gives access to all models MB?
What PC and software does it run? Windows 10, perhaps.
Thank you very much, it is good to see a "Senior Member" testimonial.
(I have been considering the C3 laptop solutions for my 5 vehicles, again leery especially considering the expen$e.)

Search for "Mercedes WIS ASRA EPC" on eBay and pick carefully. Get a vendor with an excellent rating. The eBay ones usually require you to run in a Virtual Machine mode. Alternatively, you can buy XENTRY software on a hard drive that you install in a laptop. It will work natively on Windows 10, but is more expensive if all you are looking for is a copy of WIS. Getting XENTRY is a good idea if you are going to be working on your car. I recommend you contact @BenzNinja for details. He can recommend the best sources for hardware.

The module it gives you is WIS. No Startek. Yes to wiring diagrams. They are included in each relevant section. I'm not sure what EPC is - please elaborate.
The software it runs is Oracle / VirtualBox. That operates on my Windows 10 laptop and although it takes a couple of minutes to get into it, once in it runs quickly and smoothly. You can download and print all docs. Each document, if it has a related document, will give you a link within and you can jump around as you need to quite easily. The search function is very powerful.
To see examples of the documents, go to the thread below. I started this thread and posted a series of documents to help people with their Airmatic. All the documents you can see there (including wiring diagrams but excluding the DTC codes decsriptions) are straight from emanualonline. See below.

I bought a previous WIS from them before i invested a lot of time and about $150 into Xentry setup. Which is a very good tool for MB.
Their version runs as Virtual Machine and required a little bit tech skills. I believe they provided with an excellent documentation.
