I know there are a few USB varieties out there, but they were pretty high priced. I only have few seconds before my laptop battery dies. I'll try to gather up my info in case it will help.

Thanks,
I'm mainly interested in my ML, but the A class looks very similar inside the electronics. Anything you can post on addresses / functions I'd be interested to see. The big problem is the volume of traffic - whic is why the USB devices score- the serial/Can Converters may not be up to the 500K traffic.
Once I have enough sensible stuff I'll post it up. You can find out a fair bit from the WIS (electronic version of the Factory workshop manual). There are copies on Ebay for reasonable cost. (2 DVD's etc - 5GB install if you want it all).
