C32 Star DAS How-to

I have had the pleasure of playing with a STAR DAS machine for the past week. I took some time to get to know the system as well as make changes to my car that the dealer wouldn't do. Here is the how-to for a couple of these changes.

Just print these pictures out in order and bring them to your local shop.

-10 Degree Fan Mod

Once the Star DAS is on and ready to go, run the software and choose "Cars".



Choose "C-Class / CLK"



Choose "203"



Hit "F3" to confirm the Series.



Choose "C32 AMG Kompressor" (Or your model if not C32)



Choose "Control Units"



Choose "Drive"



Press "F3" to confirm that you have read the safety notes



Choose "Control unit adaptations"



Choose "Correction programming"



Choose "Electric suction fan for engine or air conditioning"



Press "F5" until the temperture correction reaches 10 degrees

Jerry, that is very impressive and thanks for the well written tutorial with pictures, it really helps

Would the procedure be the same for the E55 except choosing the different model?

I can't imagine the face of the technician when I hand him a tutorial on how to do a specific job

Yes, it makes the fan turn on sooner, which helps keep the car cooler more consistently.

Are you going to have this for a while, because I live in Chicago too and I might be interested in getting the Netherlands setting

It belongs to a local forum member and he might be willing do it. PM me your contact info and I'll ask him and get back with you.

Outstanding post, AMG-Jerry. Thanks for sharing.

Mine has the fan mod, Netherlands setting, and an 86’d seat belt reminder. They merely make the car that much more pleasant to drive and operate. I always wear the belt when underway, just not when maneuvering around the driveway and garage…so don’t be hatin’.

Can I fly you out for some more tweaks and an ECU tune?!

Nice! With the Netherlands setting, you lose the panic feature right? Can I fed-ex a case of beer for this thing for a couple of days??

AMG-Jerry, is it possible to do the exact same tutorial but for clearing all transmission adaptation? I know you could do the ECU re-set, but it still does not work the same as when the dealer physically clears the adaptation using the machine.

speaking of transmissions, is this what the dealer would use to fix the 1500RPM jerk? Or do they just replace the TCU?
