Me and Mr. Anderson have all the software needed to do a clean install of DAS and Xentry and other apps like (EPC, WIS, WEB ETM etc). Like John said, if you need help with anything let us know.

So I got the multiplexer but sadly am having issues with it. I spent hours working on it yesterday got it to read once but my car battery was to low. But today It won't read at all. I just get some error message that does not come up in a Google search. So I don't know what is wrong but think I have a bad cable or multiplexer. I am waiting for the guy to get back to me he gave me a generic response the first time saying check antivirus software and com ports. I have no av on the computer I am using and have checked the settings so many times. Well wish me luck 
BTW I might want to do a clean install instead of using the supplied crap which is using a VM which is annoying and just one more thing to cause issues so you might get a PM soon karo

Yeah but I did not drive the car for 4 days and was in the garage every day listening to music and had the ignition on for 3 or so hours two nights messing with the star. So it was just low. The next day it started right up to go to work.

So the new unit showed up and worked immediately like it was supposed too Only got to play with it for like an hour but it is cool. Sadly my car is too old to do a lot of the fun ones.
So who will be my first local victim?

Me. I'm not local to you, per se, but if you would visit Atlanta then I would be local. And I thought any W203 could do pretty much the same things? What can you not do?

I don't know when I can get away from work I was promised time off before black Friday but then we lost two employes and we were already short staffed so my time off is ****ed.
On another note I seam to have some codes talking about the oxygen sensors, Cats and maybe a maf. There is one code that talks about adaptations for the engine saying it has compensated as much as it can (at idle, at half power) need to do some research on that. Another thing i see that my climate control thinks the ambient temperature is in the 90S i need to see if that changes when i am driving. and finally i found some cool settings one that will now tell me when my climate control detects smog lol and so many other cool things.
So anyone have a cool setting to check out?

Your car is reporting problems with the O2 sensors, cats, and MAF? But no check engine lights yet? Is that what you mean?
I may have to come to you.

Sorry Trey, missed this earlier. Did you get everything working correctly? PM me if you need any help getting STAR setup, or have any questions on programming, and I'll give you my cell number.
Easiest way to find the easter eggs in STAR is to just to run through the adaptation menus. There is many differences in options you can change, depending on what version of DAS you have and what year of car. Typically older versions of DAS have more settings to tweak. Do you have developer mode enabled?
There are lots of faults that don't throw CEL, that STAR saves. There are also events that it stores as well. The amount and type of data that is stored is amazing.
Have fun, but be careful with recoding modules, just ask Karo
Adaptation changes tend to be pretty safe.

So today on my way home from work I noticed I was freezing. I checked the climate control it was set to 72 as usually. Then I noticed that the air was about 60 degrees coming out of the vents. The passenger side vents were warm though. So I restart the car and run the diagnostic and it never stops. So once I get home i do some research and go **** because it looks like M2/6 is the bad motor. So I get my star system out and see that m2/6 is not communicating at all. So again I said some choice words. So my car currently looks like this
But I can't find any information on how to get the top cover off? I searched everywhere but can't find any information on it. Sadly I can't get my copy of WIS to work so if anyone knows of a DIY let me know.

By top cover do you mean the dashboard?

Ok so Got the cover off. Two bolts in the defroster **** THEM!. Ok so now I need help with finding out where the m2/6 is. Looks like it is in the heater core/ box but do i need to remove it to get to it or can i take the metal frame out and gain access to the dam motor. If i have to remove it i have to drain the freon which opens up a hole new can of worms
