Anyone know if this OBD2 reader from Ebay is good? Like to know how it reads code and re-set check engine light? I have a 2005 C230 1.8 Kompressor engine. Cheers!

Are you in the UK?
This company can be found here selling in dollars, ships from US.

Same as the ebay seller, but they sell for less since they don't have the ebay fees.
I bought one from them, it works great.

You should break down and buy one that does a little more like this one.

You have CANBUS so you need one that does CAN.

There's a compatibility chart on their site too.

I've had good luck with mine, but it isn't CANBUS since I'm 2002.
Got this one

The cheap ones read the code and then you have to check a chart.

BUYER BEWARE

eBay seller Alpha-Bid product does not work, paid $50 USD, and the reader turns out to be incompatible with my 99 Mercedes E Class.
