I know the scanguage II only works on some of our cars.

Anyone try it on a 03-04 Sl55?

It looks like a code reader. If you really want to be able to dx these cars, you need a STAR system.

It can display all these parameters and more...

I bought it mainly for the IAT's, timing and boost functions

Fuel Economy
» Fuel Rate
» Battery Voltage
» Coolant Temperature
» Intake Air Temperature
» Engine Speed (RPM)
» Vehicle speed (MPH and KM/H)
» Manifold Pressure
(not available on some vehicles)
» Engine Load
» Throttle Position
» Ignition Timing
» Open/Closed Loop

The sample rate is slow. It doesn't log any data. It's just a visual gauge. It good enough for my needs at the price of only $130 shipped.
