sorry to say but ..I don't think it is accurate tool as it is giving me an incorrect Car Type (a 530dx instead of a 550) and an incorrect production date.....an unknown type of transmission ..than what I have
Is everyone else is getting accurate data out of this de-coder...? I am a bit puzzled and also curious...
[may be I have been driving around in a 2 year old 530dx with a Maunal transmission and don't know that...hmmmm?]

My Ride: 2007 Mercedes CLS63 AMG
Designo Graphite with white leather interior

Although I don't really see what the big deal is about that website where you put in your VIN.......mine was correct. Build date can also be found on the inside door jam on the driver's side.
