Foxwell Adapter

Great

I purchased this 20pin adapter to use on a 1998 540i and M3. Build quality is great. Fitment and function is as expected from a Foxwell Product. Unlike no-name adapters, this adapter can be used with the hood closed, which is awesome for data logging and live data monitoring.

This is perfect. I can now do so much more with the tool.

The "Benz 38 pin adaptor" allowed me to access the the control units other than the ECU on my 1997 C280.
The OBD2 port under the dash only accesses the engine control unit. All other control units have to be accessed via the 38 pin port under the hood.
With the " Benz 38 pin adaptor" and my Foxwell NT510 Elite I was able to diagnose the ABS light as low pressure in the system caused by pump failure. The pump had failed due to a voltage drop caused by detreating wire insulation at the pump its self.
The Foxwell diagnostic tools cost me $225, less than 2 hours of shop time, I'm happy.
Now I'm tweaking some things in the car like the lean/rich mixture.

The 38 pin connector fits to the Mercedes-Benz port under the hood. It fits nice and tight. The cord is very stiff but can be bent over to the side ok. It worked with my new NT809BT scanner and wireless dongle just fine. Thank you Foxwell..
