I only need one more info to make it work
On the screen you see the screen of the rear SAM
this is one of the 2 settings pages to set flashing stop ON
options are:
flashing center stop light only
flashing left and right only
flashing both
starting from speed 0-150 KMPH
and frequency in Herz (flashing speed)
I couldn't get it working on my 2003 (2002 build) cl
so my question is
Is the REAR SAM module adding the possibility to turn this on
or some relay missing ?
Please ONLY kinda serious comments (if you are guessing, please keep your guess for yourself)
I'll try to get the info from MB Germany but any info helps

Hey Biff, you failed to ask yourself one important question---does my old 2002 CL have the feature(firmware)----if it does not then you can play with yourself all day and you will never be able to code the old SAM.
To answer that question simply hook up DAS and go the the SAM's to answer your question--are those options available???
who's Biff ?
You didn't understand me
I am asking what part contains the feature
but don't worry
I just ordered a 10/2003 rear SAM
once installed, I'll see if that is the part
so far what I understand is that they added flashing stop light as a pay-option
K11
what matters is the SW version. I bought, to be sure, a very late 2003 SW version
so it must work
let's see around Wednesday, I should receive the module
Didn't the 2002 have the old style tail lights and the 2003 had the new style ? Maybe the old style can't be coded to flash
I know when I asked my dealer to put 2003 lights on my 2002 cl 500 when they were fixing accident damage , the updated lights did not work correctly and they had to use the older style lights
so you might need to update to the newer SAM, and also upgrade to the newer tailights too

only thing I know is that my CL is 2003 facelift and that when I was upgrading my turn-lights to 2017 LED bulbs, I found that ALL my stoplights where LED already
there is no electronic to program in the taillights
instead of killing him on ebay you should have contacting him and asked to return it. if he wouldn't do it you could have filed a complaint on ebay and they probably would have gotten your money back. i've done this several times and always gotten a refund.
I guess I found the problem
unfortunatly it is not or might not be the rear sam module as I couldn't get it working
I found that it could be the
esp + pml + bas module that matches with a upgrade from 2205451832 to 2205453532 model 804
that is what triggers the stop lights
of course it would be easy if someone with adaptive flashing brake lights would check but there I dream on
so what I did.... guess what, I bought a 2205453532 module !
soon I will be able to open a store or build a W215 from all these parts I have....
I will get the part next days
so stay tuned for the next step

So, I swapped the old ESP module with the new one
seriously, it was plug'n play
2205451832 to upgraded 2205453532 model 804
unfortunatly, it didn't fix the problem
but, I don't know if my old module was bad (without giving DAS fault, yes, that exists)
or that the new one has a FAAAAAAR better ESP management
with ESP on, my car is unrecognizable, so sick compared to before
at least I had a little reward today
so I'm going back to investigations
stay tuned
and if anyone has a W215 with these dam adaptive stoplights working,
PLEASE PM ME !
thx
the one on the right is the new one (I know, it looks older, but watch the dates)
