Is it possible to find somewere a manual describing the Stardiag software functions . Or even better a working copy of the Stardiag software itself?

I have seen there are lot of functions, and I'd like to know what is possible and what is not.

 

The information you are after relates to over 5000 functions across 400 models. In addition to that, new information is added monthly. You really need to be working with it as a mechanic or speak to MBUSA

 

you can buy your own Star Diag Basic computer for roughly the same price as a new C230WZ nicely equipped.

 

Yes maybe 5000 functions, and I know that lazy Mercedes mechanics do not know them all, infact very often they say me "it is not possible", next I search on the Internet, go home, and do the work by myself, and it was possible!
So if a software, or a "simulation" of the software itself where available, I could learn and force them to do their work.
i.e. just now I'm searching a way to activate the side electric windows without having the key in the ignition position. If only I knew there is a soft way to do so, I could ask my dealer to go in the appropriate Stardiag menu and activate that.

 

Stand outside of your car and point your key at the door handle. RTFM

 

 

Lol!!!

 

just fell off my chair.......


RTFM !!

 

Please tell us you didn't spill your beer.

 

that's patrially why I fell off my (hiccup) chiar....

but to anwser your quetsion, no I didn't (hiccup) sippll my beer.
Managed to keep it uprithg.....

If you have some major petro-dollars you can just buy it all and do it yourself.

 

...erm...if you are a mechanic at mercedes you get paid for doing your work...not for surfing stardiagnose to try and see in how many ways a car can be screwed up by changing software settings...
You cannot blame the mechanic for not getting the time to teach himself the deeper contents of stardiagnose.

greetingz,

 

Totally agree but quite often you can ask a question and they'll say "No, Not possible" when what they really mean is "I don't know and can't be bothered looking it up for you".

 

So... not even a simple manual in PDF format for Stardiag software? Nobody has information of any kind about it?

 

THere is no manual that I have seen on the DAS system. The simulator mode is helpful when playing around with things but it comes with the full package.

 

How about asking for something on a forum and seeing if someone who has the system can paste the path to the coding so that you may then print out that instruction and present it to your local mechanic. No sense in shooting the messenger.

 

This is just what I'm searching to do with this thread!
Instead I found Saprissa suggesting me to break my windows with a hammer when I want to use them without inserting key
Ahhhgh!

 

Funny, but I don't see Saprissa doing anything like that in this thread except for trying to save his beer.

 

that's a good suggestion though....
you might want to consider that next time !
now I don't have to search the forum, next time I want to roll down my windows.

thanks !

 

funny, but i had to re-read this thread just to see where the hell that came from. i have yet find it.

though i still laughed at the RTFM comment!

 

i don't know where it came from either, but it's just about as funny as the day someone was looking for their superchargeR

 

Oooops! Indeed he wasn't Saprissa, he was Amdeutsch istead, who wrote:

"Stand outside of your car and point your key at the door handle. RTFM"

which sounds to me as an appropriate advice as the idea of breaking the window to open it without key.

Now please be kind with me: stop to joke and send me your copy of PDF manual, or even better a hacker version of the Stardiag you are playing with on your laptop!
:p

 

 

When you get to that menu with the cool-ish feature you think you want, why don't you do an print screen. Take the image off your printer and go to the mechanic and say;

"Excuse me sir, can you possibly go to this menu on my car and turn on this feature?"

 

aoddera,
are you trying to open your windows, using your FOB key, via the IR sensor ???

that should work normally, by just pointing the key to the sensor on the door handles as AMDEUTSCH said. What feature are you trying to activate ?
