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

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 "Body"



Choose "Rear SAM"



Choose "Control unit adaptations"



Choose "National version of ATA function"



Select "Netherlands" from the drop down list and press "F3" to confirm

Excellent.

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, should be the same. I can check later today if you want.

Seriously!

What is the Netherlands Mod?

Thanks for the great write up Jerry ........ any chance of doing the same thing for the Fuel Quantity Adaptive setting ?

Chirping sound when you lock/unlock the car.

I like this mod but for some odd reason, this setting was disable in my car...

so the 10C mod turns on the fan sooner?

thx for the post Jerry.

Kid in a candy store....

Heck....at least the alarm works on your car!!!! Gonna need to beg/praise/pay off wayne to play with star at the track to see what is failing on my alarm.


Thanks for the fan mod btw...

theres no C55 in the system?!?

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

Which setting is that? There are tons of settings that pertain to fuel.

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.

wow this is Great! how about the Mod for getting the Seat Belt Noise "DING DING DING" Off and just to show on the IC to fasten Seat Belt???

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?!

+1
Great post!

Well I hope you bring it to the track if you can...Great post Jerry!

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??

Any way we can have this done at the houston meet? I have been wanting the Netherlands mode for a while... fan adaption is pretty cool too.

What can you say...gotta love the LET guys....

They have some nice toys...

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?
