Any shops around the NYC area with a Star Diagnosis System?

Does anyone know of a shop in the NYC area (Staten Island, NJ, Brooklyn especially) with a Star Diagnosis System where I could get some programming done rather than going to the stealership?

I called one "Mercedes Specialist" shop here on SI and they don't have one. I don't understand how you can be a MB shop and not have a SDS but oh well...

Awesome. Going to call them on Monday. Hopefully they have someone who won't mind version coding a couple things for a fair price.

Do you know if this place in BK has engineering mode activated by any chance and would know how to do more complex coding like enabling lock/unlock beeps while keeping panic mode? I really appreciate it!

call mike # 917-282-5112, he has star and can hook u up. But he works in NYC and you have to schedule it with him so he can get the star with him when he travles up to work. Nice guy...
