STAR DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEMS FROM VELOCE PERFORMANCE!

If you have ever wanted to be able to get into your car's systems, diagnose problems or even just lower your ABC or Airmatic Merc or AMG.... Veloce Performance can help!

We have acquired a limited number of Original MB STAR Systems from the original manufacturer. Even if your MB dealer would sell you one (which they won't), it would cost upwards of $20K. We have them for a fraction of that cost.

It includes laptop, all connectors, and current STAR software. Don't be left to the mercy of what the dealer tells you... know for sure! PM or email for a price quote.

If you have ever used a clone, you will know that many have failed, and if you are in the middle of adjusting some electronics in the car and something goes wrong, it can be very expensive.

In my mind it is worth getting an OEM system, if you are going to do it. You spent allot of money on your car, why would you cheap out on a system like this? It's just false economy. The STAR system is not just a code reader from Checker. It is very involved and integral with the car's systems.

What kind of changes were you wanting to make? I lowered my car using the STAR system.

....... can't delimit the car with STAR. For that you will need our ECU work.

- Key dependant seats (removed in 06 but available up to 05)

- disable seat belt chime

- show remaining fuel in liters

- passive TPMS

I also want to TRY to retrofit an SLK steering wheel with paddle shifters on my car. I haven't bought the steering wheel yet and details are sketchy whether it's even possible. Assuming it fits and the plugs match up, I'll still need the changes made in SDS to have the car recognize the paddles.

** FYI this is all for a 2006 W203 C350
