Would this work on a pre-facelift w209? Since you have to reset the ECU, would the affect any tunes done to it?

On the pre facelift the wording is different (see attachment). The resetting of ECU is just the electrical control unit of the ICM and not the Engine so you would be fine.

cables = 500 - 600
laptop = 200 - 500
software with crack and keygen = 100

That's what you are going to need. Special cables, laptop and the software

I only tried on C Class so I honestly don't know. I'm pretty sure other models should have this mod as well. Does your car have "Distance"? If so then it should have this option.

It calculates gallons times mpg you are receiving and then spits out the Distance. So technically speaking if you have "Distance" (miles left) then you should be able to enable the gallons left.

I only do DAS work with people who I am really close. I had encounters where I was blamed for a problem that I had nothing to do with. Example- "After you activated my chirp my ABS light came on" which has nothing to do with what I did. So I now don't touch anyones car unless they are friends.

Sorry

Sure, just substitute page 5 with this and then continue with remaining steps (Actuations>ECU Reset).

* The ECU reset resets the ICM so the settings can take effect and NOT the engine ECU...so no worries.
