![]() ![]() Still not found anything like the 16 pin ISO OBDII socket, too much rain today to want pull apart the under-dash trim, but suspect that car doesn't have one (all ideas to confirm/deny existence and location of said socket gratefully received) It makes me wonder if there is more data to be extracted from the car? I can get the car to report that it hasn't got any fault codes (which I expected), but this also means that I don't know what it might be able to report if it had any! If anyone can suggest any faults that are harmless and easy to induce/fix then I'll see what it has to say about them.Īs well as using the Digimoto software I've also been able to communicate with the car using the standard Windows HyperTerminal software (anyone who used a Bulletin Board or a modem in the 1980s will recall this type of command line software). which taken from one point of view is stating the obvious, but from another makes me wonder why it's prepared to talk to me at all. The on-board diagnostics also report that the car isn't meant to comply with OBD. The on-board diagnostics on the car report that it can give MAF air flow rate, but I've not got a reading. OK - after a day of fiddling about, comparing results from my C220 CDI and my Polo, plus a lot of searching on the Internet, here's what I've found so far: I'm going to upgrade to the full v5 of Digimoto and will write an update to this thread as I learn my way around the software. It arrived by next day post, took just five minutes to unpack and install, and I was up and running reading data from the car. #DIGIMOTO 5.0 SERIAL#USB to Serial Converter (needed for many new laptops without a serial port) UKOBDII ISO Interface with Digimoto Lite software (And the kit would work on my other half's Polo). It was such an honest and straightforward answer that I decided to spend a £100 just to find out. ![]() ![]() #DIGIMOTO 5.0 FULL VERSION#"Thanks for your enquiry, as you are probably aware diesels were not required to be OBD2/EOBD compliant until 2004, however some manufacturers were compliant before this date and according to Autodata your car is, nonetheless we have no specific experience of this vehicle so I cannot give any guarantee that it will work, as such what I would suggest is that you buy the UKOBD interface ( £ 64 95 ) which comes with the Digimoto lite software and the Mercedes to OBD2 converter cable ( £ 23.99 ) and if this works then you can always update the software to the full version 5." Here's what UKOBD said in response to my enquiry: More below, and I'll update the thread with a second installment when I've more experience. I emailed UKOBD Ltd and got a prompt helpful reply: they had a good hunch but couldn't promise. I have also used them with the official OBDlink tool.I wanted an affordable basic diagnostics / fault code reader for my W202 C220 CDI with the 38-pin diagnostic socket, but couldn't find a definitive answer here or elsewhere. I can verify that ProScan & ScanMaster ELM wk with knock-off OBD Chipsets (ELM327). * ScanMaster ELM v.1.6 & v.2.0.7 (both by AXIM)ĭifferent Programs have different features, and not all of them will wk with every scanner cable. #DIGIMOTO 5.0 INSTALL#Follow any install instructions if included and disconnect from internet during installation. Programs that I have collected over the last few months. ![]()
