Hey billtc55 i was wondering if you could post a pic of your C55 with all the lights on(headlights and fogs)? I wanna see what the city lights look like along with the HID fogs and the xenons. I think itll look sick. And mabye a second pic with the brights on but i dont kno how well thatll look.
THanks bud!

Oh and the key recognition feature does work its in your menu settings. It'll ask you if you want to put key recognition on or off. With it on the car will kno what settings you have for what key. To differeniate between the two keys is one has the grey slide peice to take the valet key out thats key two the one with black is key one.

what ever that's listed will still work, and if you want the other functions contact Steve/MBenzNL. The hidden functions can all be unlocked with the Star-Diagnostic.
