MB STAR expert in PNW?

Hello All,

Hoping to make connection with someone who has expertise and equipment for STAR diagnostic in my area. I have many ideas for the C55 but know some of them will need maneuvering and work arounds in STAR to get them to work without error. I am good with computers and coding but would like to connect with someone experienced before going out and trying to buy/use equipment myself.

I am in the greater Seattle area and willing to drive a ways to meet up or meet virtually to talk with respect to everything going on.

Thank you and if this knowledge is already marked on the forum somewhere point me in the right direction and this thread can be removed.

Thx for the heads up, I'll try to reach out. Some ideas and plans are sunroof delete this summer (don't know what or how this affects the vehicles modules), in the future disabling srs system for seat change and quick release steering wheel setup, secondary air pump delete, long tube headers without CEL (don't want aftermarket tune), and in the future with it becoming more prevalent, 6speed swap if it proves viable longterm for those who have done it on this platform. Overall, I just would like to establish a relationship with someone local who knows the cars well on the development side of STAR, with my YouTube channel I would also love to collaborate on related content as I know it would be useful for many others out there but this is dependent on said individual and their interest in doing so. Long term it would be invaluable to gain direct knowledge on how to operate the STAR, as I plan to own both my C55 and ML55 for a LONG time, mb specific diagnostic scan tools can only do so much...

PLEASE if anyone else out there directly knows of someone or maybe the 'someone' themselves will see this, reach out!
