Is there a CD of this software and a cable schematic floating around somewhere? It would be quite handy to own a copy.

I recall that when this topic was brought up before, someone had said that changing these settings affects performance only slightly but drastically reduces the fuel economy. To anyone who has had these settings changed, is this correct?

Not that I condone the use or the distributing of Pirated software but just think of what we could do with that. And I think Randy already said in a previous post that its a Mercedes dealer thing. It cant be given out to regular consumers.

I lost about 2 mpg thats it and there is a change in performance.
I would think 5-7 hp for 15 min labor, it's not that bad.

I wouldn't consider it pirated software since it only works on a mercedes product for which I have paid for. It's just an extension of the dash interface.

Now who has the CD.

This is like saying a copied version of Microsoft Office software is not pirated because you paid for MS Windows.

Whoemever gets it can put it up on kazaa were we can all find it... i'm sure cables are easier to get.

I'm curious what mbtech thinks about this, as before he wasn't sure where it could be found or if it existed.

No, this is configuration software for a specific piece of hardware, not general use software like MS office. I couldn't use this software on a Ford or BMW.

Hey, I'd love to have the set-up too. But if the software has a copyright, then to copy it and distribute it would be pirating (sp?) it. There is a lot of "configuration software" out there that is only meant for specific hardware. Just because you own the hardware does not give you right to the software.

I guess I'm just used to working at a company that isn't that picky/greedy... We don't care who copies our software since it only works with our hardware.

It's too bad more companies are not like that, but I think the trend is going in the opposite direction.

Hey Kwik, just curious... What does the "Black/Black = Lemon" mean in your signature?

and what's the purpose of these settings again ?



to use lower grade fuel (which is what I want)

or to raise performance ??? (don't care....but I'll take it...but does it require the 91 oct fuel?)

Pump octane number of 93 is equivalent to a RON of 97 or 98. (RON97 + MON89)/2 = pump octane of 93

It means I'm in the middle of a "Lemon Law" lawsuit with MBUSA.

heheh....I already have the IBM ThinkPad T22...and a cdrom and burner on my desktop computer...just send me the CD and I'll get started!

By the way, MBUSA implicitly denies that these settings (as well as Norway and AudioPilot settings) exist!

Thank you for your message.

Unfortunately there is no "fuel management setting" through the Star

Looks like everyone really interested to that software, but what's the name of the software?

Mercedes-Benz STAR DIAGNOSIS Software

Just go to your favorite search engine, and search for "star diagnosis". The first hit I got pretty much told me everything I needed to know; and that I wouldn't be getting my hands on the software.


Here's a link describing the software and cost:
