Star tool question
I recently got my ecu back again from my tuner. They were not able to disable the primary cats from the ECU. Is the star tool actually able to disable this to prevent CEL?

It should be possible with a Star in developer mode but you need somebody that knows what they are doing - dealers don't have developer Stars. Have a look in the AMG forums. I'm pretty sure that this has been done.

I recall reading somewhere that you can enter development mode, but it's all in German.

I think it's in the W211 AMG forum.
