(1) You will need a PC running Windows with either a DB9 serial connector, USB connector, or Bluetooth connectivity.
(2) You will also need to purchase a ELMSCAN OBDII interface that has the connectivity to your computer (DB9, USB, BLUETOOTH).

(3) You will also need to purchase the PCMSCAN software from PalmerPerformance. A demo version is available here:

I am also awaiting delivery of the CARSOFT maintenance software which will interface with the ELMSCAN5... But, I am not yet sure that the Mercedes SLK320 software will be the same as the Crossfire... You can find the info for yourself here:

Enjoy the info... When I have more on the tuning software I will share it with the forum.
Did not see a price on the carsoft site. Looks like a nice tool but also looks pricey.
