I called our local stealership, MB and looked on-line. Couldnt find a copy except what might be a pirated copy in eBay.

I have AllData, but is sucks in my opinion.

Anybody have a source.

Edit- there was a place in the UK I think for $147 plus shipping.

Beware of the E-Bay stuff.... I'm still "fighting" with a seller over a manual. It looks like I basically got Alldata at a "discount"... Uggg..

I was reading where you could subscribe to the Mercedes WIS system (24hrs @ $18.99) and go to town either printing or saving all the stuff.... sounds like an awful amount of work to me, but may be worth it....

Still haven't received my eBay copy yet. Now I'm worried it will be worthless, like josworth mentions.

Anyone have a copy or know where to get one?

I might have to break down and use the STAR system or what ever it's called for this one.
