Hi all!

I have 2009 C350 Sport(W204).

My car handle is no paddle shift. (3-spoke type)

Now my car is fitted with the c63 paddle shift. Now not working.

But I know it should be coding.

This work just by changing C63 handle without coding?

Thanks~

Hi There,

Yes coding is indeed needed to activate the paddles. Do you have access to a star diagnostic machine with DAS developer? If so I can help you not only enable the paddles but also enable the full manual transmission mode like the C63 has

If no access to star diagnostics then you're really going to have a hard time since no dealer will ever do it....

PM if you have questions...

My friend have star diagnostic machine...

But no access SCN coding.... (No DAS developer)

I live in Korea...

In here there is no way to solve.

Unfortunately, There are no companies that can be coded in here

Is there any way to solve?

Jwrightmcps

Sorry without DAS developer and the w204 menu (enabled in DAS) you're going to have a very hard time... The only other option is to get Vediamo and use that... What type of multiplexer does your friend have C3 or C4?

vipsa

CAn you PM me the instructions. I installed mine over a year ago, but everything I read, said that it can't be done.
I have a shop locally that has DAS dev.

Thanks,

Jwrightmcps

I first need to know current variant code of VGSNAG2 and VIN, once I have this information I can provide new variant code....

until the end

hi how are you
for me i think i have the same problem i bought the steering wheel way back but i couldn't manage to make it work so i throw it in the garage, i have a shop near my place and they have the Star but give me instruction to bring the Variant Code where i can fined it ???
what is the other parts that i need other than the C63 steering wheel ???
thank you

until the end

Hi all!!!
I have a w204 C200 Cdi Avantgarde 2013 non Amg, i have installed paddles shifters and activate code 428 but don't appear M mode, only appear E mode and S mode, if i push the paddles shifters are working and appears D3, D4...
It' s necesary change buttons E/S for E/S/M mode? In other models isn't necesary change these buttons but i can't activate M mode

Regards

Jwrightmcps

How did you activate it? By dealer (add 428 to VeDoc + Online SCN of VGSNAG2 and IC)? Or did you do it using Vediamo (like I do) or DAS developer? If you did it the dealer way then maybe you need another code in addition to 428)... If you did it another way then you may need to adjust your variant code for the VGSNAG2..

Also just had a thought... Is your car equipped with the 7G transmission? If not then you're SOL AFAIK

If you need more help, pm me...

Jwrightmcps

Oh and the button is only cosmetic and not needed to activate"M" mode

Jwrightmcps

Hey just checked my resources and see that as of model year 2012 you need option code 950 in addition to 428.... Add 950 to your VeDoc and online SCN the VGSNAG2 again... It should do the trick but please post your results so we all know

Jose35bcn

My car is equipped with 7g tronic plus and the activation is by dealer...
Your car is a w204 from 2011 facelit???

Jwrightmcps

Okay, like I said it appears you need 950 (amg sports package) too... Have them update your VeDoc and code it again...

My Car was a 2010 but has been replaced by a 2013 E550 sedan (I already have installed and activated the E63 wheel in it too). I do everything myself and avoid all the dealer stuff

Jose35bcn

Ok thanks, it's sure that need code 950? Thanks a lot... On Monday post results

Jose35bcn

In your E550 you activate 428+950?
Congratulations for your great car...
Thanks

In this video show the codes 428, 950 and 277(sport steering wheel)...
It's necessary activate 277 too?

Jwrightmcps

Nope you don't need 277 only 428 (which is already present in w212) and 950...

hi, I have a 2010 w204 c250 4matic, canadian car. can the coding be done if i upgrade the steering wheel with paddle shifters? cheers!

Jwrightmcps

If you have access to a STAR diagnostics machine with developer menus enabled then you should be able to...

If you can provide me your current variant code for the VGSNAG2 module (See my instructions below on how to find this) along with your VIN, I should be able to provide you the new variant code to use...

Jwrightmcps

1. Launch Xentry and select your vehicle.

2. Once you have selected your vehicle, launch the diagnostics application.

3. Once loaded click the "control unit view" tab, next select "type of drive" from the left sub menu and then select the "VGS - Transmission control" in the right sub menu and complete by click the "continue" button.

4. Once loading is complete, click on the "Adaptations" tab, next expand the "Configuration" sub menu, then expand the "SCN" sub menu and then click on "Display of coding data".

5. Make note of the value for "Variant coding". Which is usually a string of 4 alphanumeric values

Jwrightmcps

Did you get a chance to add that code and try again? If so please let us know how it went (that code should do it)

Jose35bcn

Hi all!
Everything running perfectly with code 428 + 950, M mode enabled.
Thanks a lot...
Attached a photo display


Best regards

Hi!
The w204 cars (same year as mine),but with pack amg, you can see in the display only the speed that you go, and I add codes 428+950 appears the 1234567 speeds in the display... Do you Know why this happens?
For me it's better as it got.


Thanks...

Jwrightmcps

Hello,

Glad to hear that the extra code (950) did the trick... As for your question about the gear display, the AMG instrument cluster actually has different software than the standard W204 and what you're seeing is the AMG menu which also shows things like oil temp too. So not to worry your car is now setup properly and you should enjoy the manual mode quite a bit (I use it most of the time and it's way better than gear limiting that is standard)... Anyway once again happy to hear the good news
