iCarsoft PIN38 Mercedes adapter connects compatible iCarsoft diagnostic scanners to older Mercedes-Benz vehicles equipped with the round 38-pin OBD1 diagnostic socket. The adapter converts the vehicle’s 38-pin connection to the 16-pin diagnostic connection used by compatible iCarsoft scanners and enables access to supported vehicle systems beyond basic engine diagnostics.

Which Mercedes-Benz models use the 38-pin adapter?

The adapter is intended for pre-2003 Mercedes-Benz vehicles that actually have the round 38-pin diagnostic connector. Current iCarsoft coverage specifically includes examples such as:

• C-Class W202 – up to 2000
• E-Class W124 / W210 – up to 2002 where equipped with 38-pin
• S-Class W126 / W140 – up to 1998 where equipped with 38-pin
