Really pleased with this adapter (and the accompanying free Mercedes iOS App), as it has beathed new life into my wife's 2009 A180CDi. There was just one disppointment however to find the required 'SEC' code to enable viewing the digital servce reports facility is only available on vehicles dated 2011 onwards, even though Digital Servce records are active, recorded and available for her 2009 A Class and all vehcles post 2008.

I bought one on eBay, and when I found I would have to get it activated by MB themselves, AND that this is FREE from most Mercedes dealers, I returned it unused two days later. Why pay for it? I read that if you go o to most Merc dealerships and they supply, install it and activate it free, and that was true. In any case, it looks like it is not very useful on pre-2014 cars. Very limited benefits and a bit of an 'iffy' connection with my iPhone. Briliant if you have a very recent car with all of the facilities built-into the car, but this plug-in adaptor has really limited use with 2009-2013 cars. The other thing is that Mercedes apparently receives all of your data on their servers. From their point of view, they get to know the intimate details of your servicing needs, so they can call you in. Makes commercial sense for them. Also mileage, speeds, dates, locations, etc., so the data includes all of your journeys. How long before the insurance companies know too! So I decided to get mine free from my local MB dealer. But I really don't know whether I'll keep it in the car, now I know how little benefit it will give me. But it did make me drool when I went to the MB place and saw how much things had moved on. A veritable jewellery store!Read full review

This device provides some great features and easily accessible data on your car and journeys. My local Mercedes dealership were very helpful with setting up the device and the features provided. No regrets on purchasing.

Very tedious to set up, with repeated requests to re-input information even after unit says it's ready. Took days of re-visiting to finalise set-up and then it's only questionably better than a cheap 3rd party OBD2 monitoring device.

Joint receiving this item, I came to find it was suitable for my model. When explained, the dealer was very understanding, fast and efficient after I and began the refund process within a day. I definitely recommend!
