Is that map update or a COMAND system update? The two are different.
OK, I gotta ask. If you bought the CD from the dealer, why didn't the dealer install the software?
What the heck is DAS?

Wayne,

DAS = Diagnostic Assistance System.

It is the software component of the STAR disagnostic multiplexer.

Ps. And I too am curious if the COMAND OS can be updated w/o needing STAR to set a code. There are update routines in COMAND, but it may be for a maps update only.
