2003 S55 AMG - Need a Plug-in System Reader
I have a 2003 S55 and I do all my own general maintenance (Oil Change, Breaks, etc.) I was looking if anyone knew of a good plugin device that I could purchase to read and clearout the display. I change my breaks when the display tells me to, but I have to take it to someone to clear the meaasage out after installation. I would like the ability to read and clear my own messeages out.
Any Device Recommendations? Thanks,

If you want more than you can get a carsoft 7.4 unit for a little more at amazon.... i have worked with one before and they are great.
The ultimate is of course the star system...which you can get for about $350 online (chinese copy but works well for occasional use)

no need to reset the brake light, that is controlled by a sensor. Replace the sensor properly with replacing pads and the light will go away. I use a standard OBD reader. Star Diag controls the SRS, ABC and other lights.
