Watch me save $900 bucks doing my transmission service on my 2007 Mercedes E350 (W211). This car has the 722.9 (early version with red fluid). In this video I go through the entire process including using the scan tool (or other options), and even draining the torque converter. Through FCP Euro, a DIY job will only cost you $160-$200 dollars + any tools you may need.

I added chapters so if you are stuck doing this and need specific help you can find it more easily.
