FYI, my SAM is being mailed back today from Whipple...

So in total, he only received payment from 4 People but will still honor the $150 Price which was for 5 people group buy...

So that means us 4 who paid him $100 all owe him $50 more bucks, and he has requested this from us, so please send to him...

I'm sure if the 6 other people end up going through with the transaction, he will refund is back the $50 later...

coordinate with the people earlier in the thread who signed up but didnt send theirs in....

Found this on the net. It appears this guy (from Gremany) is selling 2012 tails with SAMS programmed. Access the link below and then go to the Ebay store.

Don't know whether it's cost effective, it may be too pricey. My German is lacking, but the ad reads that 'tail lights programmed using the STAR Diagnosis' which from reading the numerous posts appears to be the 'key' to resolving problems associated with error messages appearing when retro fitting these to pre 2012 vehicles.

The link

Snowmuch, the group buy is for the programming only. You have to remove your Sam box from your car and ship it out to whipple..... Do you already have the lights?

I have just reprogrammed my Rear SAM module myself...i would be willing to program other peoples 2008-2009 Rear SAM if you guys want.
If someone wants to be the guinea pig and be first I will reprogram your SAM for free, as long as you post back here and let everyone know for there own comfort, that I reprogrammed your SAM and all is working the way it should.
After that, I will charge $150 for one, or $100 for five or more.
I live in Dallas, Texas, so if you live near just drive on over and I'll reprogram it.

I'd be willing to ship mine to you. I actually just ordered the 2012 tail lights so they should be here by the time I get the SAM back from you.

Since W204Man replied first, then I will let him drive up and we will take his REAR SAM out of his car, put it in mine and reprogram it so all of you others that can't drive up and let me program your REAR SAM will know that I can program your SAM using my C350.

W204Man, I will be awaiting your response. If you can be here tomorrow morning or Sunday after 2:00PM that would be great. If you can't make that please give me a few times you can drive up within the next week and I'll let you know what works best for me.

SheryarYO if he isn't able to get up here I will be willing to do yours for free, but if he comes up, it will be $150 for you, unless you get 4 others for a group buy, then it would be $100 each.
