I am a customer who uses VCDS and GS911 diagnostic tools, and I now own a Mercedes (see above). The vehicle has a 38-pin connector installed.

Is it possible to read the engine control unit (ECU) data using VCDS? Which adapters are necessary?

Mercedes EVE Bosch distributor injection pump N3/8.
MB No.: 026 545 15 32
Bosch Part No. 0281001953 BOSCH EDC 1.4 (MSA 15.2-3.23)
Hardware Version 45/95
Software Version 21/98

I also have a Carsoft 7.4 multiplexer.

Thanks & Regards,
Mark.

Hi,

No, if that were possible, then OBD2 would be an option, but if your Benz had it, it would also have the OBD2 port in the car.

Best regards, Rainer.
