Frequently Asked Questions
Is this software compatible with my Windows 10 or Mac computer?
Yes. The VMware Player virtual machine environment runs on Windows 11, 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP, as well as Mac and Linux systems, making it broadly compatible regardless of your operating system.
Which W168 chassis variants are included beyond the A160?
While this listing focuses on the A160 and A160 CDI, the W168 platform data within the software also covers other A-Class variants from the same generation, including the A140, A170, A190, and A210, sharing the same chassis architecture.
Does the software include wiring diagrams for the A160’s electrical systems?
Yes. Full interactive wiring diagrams are included, covering engine management, ABS, airbag/SRS, climate control, central locking, instrument cluster, and all lighting circuits — the same documentation used by Mercedes dealership technicians.
What format is the manual?
This is dealer workshop software delivered as a VMware Player Virtual Machine — it is NOT a PDF. It provides an interactive experience with clickable component locators, searchable procedures, and zoom-capable diagrams, mirroring the tools available at authorized Mercedes-Benz service centers.
