Thumbs up W204 Front SAM issues and Fixes

Hi Guys,
As you know I have posted a few threads and comments regarding my front sam.
Initially, the car had issues with Front SAM as many items were not working after SAM was replaced with the same part number (A204 900 9601). The part was acquired from overseas market where the steering wheel was on the other side.
One guy came from FB market place and did absolutely nothing and took $250. At this point no power windows , SRS and Airbag fault on dash.
Finally, I came across @BenzNinja via local contact in Facebook and all my issues are sorted. It took a fair amount of coding (remotely) but car is finally back to its original glory!
