But since the Crossfire is built by Mercedes in Germany, I wonder if it is classified as American car with the Germany built electric systems?
iCarsoft are expensive tools, maybe there are cheaper ones that are just as good? I'm looking for a simple tool with a cord without connection to a computer or phone.
In Sweden, the first generation Mercedes SLK320 is significantly more common than the Chrysler Crossfire. When I asked the salesperson if the diagnostic tool for Mercedes also fits the Crossfire, no one could answer. So it is unclear how much of the electric system is Mercedes and how much is adapted to Chrysler.
I use an iCarsoft for a Mercedes. I have an SRT6, so I got a VIN number from a 2004 SLK32AMG, entered it into the scanner, and it read the car fine. They are not that expensive, and they work well. I keep it in the trunk.
For Mercedes-Benz/Sprinter/Smart MBV2.0 is the one I have. It covers the years for the SLK320 or SLK32Amg.
