I had to drive both cars through the mercedes drive cycle procedures to get the OBDII readiness for the annual state emissions inspecition that is done with the safety inspection. As is expected, sometimes that takes multiple tries to get a specific monitor to successfully complete. The BlueDriver was just quick and easy to use for that purpose.

Sometime over the next week, I will test it on the 2004 Crossfire to confirm it works on it as well.
I have a BlueDriver and it is the best reader I have for finding the status of the emissions readings. We do not have yearly emissions testing anymore though, they are required only when it comes to selling the car along with the safety test.
