My recommendation is to have a laptop with an SSD and good battery. Also, you need to make sure to have a USB port available--as some laptops might not have many at all.

If anyone needs help with the drivers and such, I can certainly give some guidance.
OK, your info gives me a reachable goal to aim for. I'll open up the Toshiba, try to find a screen & keyboard, and give it a go (unless I can find a good laptop alternative for less).

I have a K-line (K-can) cable already, with pins 7 & 8 bridged. Supposedly, E-53's (up to 2008?) use K-line (K-can) not D-line (D-can), from what I've read. The circled "E-series Cars" in your attachment says D-can.
