Anyone know which OBD tool or software would be able to interface with a newer Mercedes? My OBD tool (which works fine on my Ram) simply says waiting for software and a message on the dash that referencees the manual, which states something to the effect of do not connect anything to the OBD port and to go to the dealership

I wonder if it is encrypted like the new 2025+ Rams. If so, there's nothing you can do unless someone has busted the encryption. They haven't yet on the Ram.

That was my fear
iCarsoft MB

Send them an email to make sure they support your exact model.

I've had good luck with iCarsoft MB.
I'll look into iCarsoft, think I remember seeing that or something similar skimming some forums
