Re: my earlier post in the electric supercharger thread:

I have been trying to scan the OBD port on the Crossfire without success. I believe the vehicle used the ISO protocol but so far I haven't managed to get this confirmed for sure. The only protocol I haven't tried yet is CAN but I think it is unlikely this is being used due to the age of the Crossfire's SLK platform - I know it uses CAN for comms between the various control systems in the car, but that doesn't mean it is used for the OBD. Also Racelogic produce some nifty CAN attitude/yaw monitoring stuff but their website suggests that CAN is not available through the OBD port on this car, but again this may only refer to the CAN bus between the specific ESP/ABS modules that they are tapping into.

I have searched about the forum and Service manual but can't find any references to anything other than the DRBlll.

Has anyone used anything other than the DC's DRBlll to scan this car and if so what tool/protocol did you use?

Anyway, I am waiting for some parts to arrive to build up a multi-protocol reader which will support CAN and then I'll have another go.
