After updating your profile and posting an introduction thread...

1. Start a 'New Discussion', top right button in main datacard section.

Here: Vehicle Data Card

Don't 'piggyback' on the end of someone else's request.
It might not be seen.

2. Post your vin. Must be 17 characters. No 'Os'. It might have zeroes.
3. Wait until one of our friendly members that has access to epc/ISPPI, posts it for you.
4. Don't want to post your vin because of privacy concerns, pm/conversation our friendly mods with your vin and privacy concern and we will message/conversation it to you.
Include email address so we can email it to you.
5. Saying 'Please' and 'Thank you' couldn't hurt. :D

What's a datacard?
It is the 'window or windshield' sticker that comes on new vehicles. It shows the option codes and the name of the options included in/on the car when purchased.
Look at the other members datacards to get an idea of what I mean.
Here is a sample of a SLK 320 and a SLK 55 AMG datacard. See attached.
The more options your car has, the longer your datacard will be!
Early model R170s (1996-2000) have very little data in their datacards and some of the info might be erroneous like saying you have a 'DARK BLUE SOFT TOP FABRIC 5010' which we know is wrong
We can get you your R170,R171,or R172 datatcard, in English.

If shopping for a car, request as many as you want! :D
Other ways to get a datacard, but be aware, ours has more info than other sites, is in pdf format, ready to print for you :D

I was told by the Mercedes dealer that I purchased my car from. That the reversing camera was a retro fitted aftermarket item. Because it didn't appear in the build spec from the factory.
I didn't believe them as it's identical to an OEM version in every way. It looks the same when folded up into the boot area & when it's deployed. Not to mention how it integrates with the head unit.

Well, after a look on www.mbdecoder.com it turns out the car did leave the factory with option 218 aka a rear-view camera 🙂

If you want to check out your own vehicle. Just visit the website I mentioned & enter your VIN.
I'd imagine this is similar (or possibly even identical) to the Data Card that Admin like us all to sign up to?

As mentioned, we offer and get member's datacards for them
And some countries do not let access to that site

You trying to stop me from enjoying what I do? :D

I get my datacards straight from MB isppi site
And Sarge pays (from his own pocket) for access to the isppi site.
It also gives up to date access to DC and much more.

Not cheap.

And members get the service for free.
