I've also given this PDF to a local shop and we're going to try it on a 2009 c63 tomorrow. Going to use my tail lights which I assume is Euro spec since it has amber turn signal but I bought it off ebay. I'll post an update afterwards. There still might be hope for those that can't find a used SAM
Thanks MBENZTECH!

I'm very reluctant to buy a all new SAM if it can be reprogrammed. I've waited over two years as you can see. Almost shipped my Sam to whipplem104 a year ago or so but backed out because I didn't have two cars at the time and drove 83 miles one way to work. Not saying I'm cheap but ill expend all options before I buy a new Sam.
Btw I think we have the best tails with the amber turn signals!

Ohh $#!t keep me posted. My guy hasn't gotten back to me yet. I have that PDF and some screen shots I paid 13$ for a couple months ago I emailed to him yesterday so he can let me know what's up. Good luck with yours and I embrace the amber community! Looks better than the red IMO.
Unfortunately though for me he said putting my 2010 SAM into the 2009 still won't allow him access since it's my SAM that's not allowing him. Which I'm ok with but I'm glad there's still a way to do it on 2009.
His info is below if you wan't to get a hold of him. Really awesome dude. You need to bring your car to him though. You can't send him your SAM since he doesn't have a car to put it in to. They can do your regular service like A or B etc too which I didn't know. Along with other performance mods. So gonna go to them from now on! So if you're in the bay area and have a 2009 then you're in luck.

Anyone that wants this done in Canada pm me. I can reprogram your sam if you ship it to me or if your in Toronto , Ottawa or mtl i can drive to you.
I programmed my own car and others. Did this retrofit over 2 years ago and love it. I had to pay for the info as well but op is nice to share it.

I tried to update my 09 ml350 with LED tail lights
Everything works except turn signals hyper flash
Is this an issue that can be programmed into the SAM to correct?
Thanks Chuck

W204 C220 CDI (2009)
Just wanted to see if both tail lights have fog LEDs?
I got used original tail lights but looks like left doesn't have fog LEDs installed. all other working good.
to test, I plugged left light to right side power cable , still fog LEDs dosn't come up but no sooner right light is plugged, fog LEDs on right one get lit.
When I check visually, looks like left dosnt have LEDs for left.. I'm from Australia and is this correct?
thanks

This is a pdf file that will guide you through performing coding for rear tailights on 2008 and 2009 W204. It's in german so you need to change the settings exactly how they are on this PDF. In order to do this you need a SDS clone with DAS developer mode. No programming needed only coding. I am in the Houston area if anybody wants to get this done.
