Do I Need a Mercedes-Benz 38-Pin Adapter?

← Back to All Questions
Home › Questions & Answers › Do I Need a Mercedes-Benz 38-Pin Adapter?
Applies to: UCAN-II, UCAN-II Pro

You will need a Mercedes-Benz 38-pin adapter for some pre-2000 Mercedes-Benz models that use the older 38-pin diagnostic connector.

If your vehicle has the standard 16-pin OBD-II port (typically 1996 and newer), you do not need this adapter.

Not sure? Email support@youcanic.com with your VIN and we can confirm.
