Euro cluster.. strange but I like it..

I saw this video once and thought the cluster in the euro CL65 was the sickest thing I've ever seen... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Wmaw...e=channel_page

I had to get it. MBUSA wanted nothing to do with it so I asked Steve from MBenzNL and he got it to me overnight!

Few things that I've noticed so far:

-The annoying KG chime is GONE!
-The wording is different for certain messages/menus
-Has winter mode that turns off the graduation above 210km/h
-Displays amount of gas in the gas tank in gallons
-MFD font is a bit different
-Red line is gone
-V12 Biturbo on the tach
-BOSCH logo on the coolant temperature display

Regarding the KG chime, can't you press the up arrow button to silent the chime?

How do you have M mode btw? Isn't that only in AMG vehicles?

Pressing up arrow had no effect, there was a discussion on the KG chime before.

I am running a CL65 TCU.

I wanted to elaborate on this a little bit..

Both the S600/CL600 and the S65/CL65 are running the same exact physical transmission- 722.649 also called the W5A900. Part is A240-270-05-00. They also use the same exact torque converter.

AMG's "Speedshift" and the "M" mode are simply options enable and tweaked in the TCU.

Thanks to V12Godspeed's generosity, some developer-level programming with SDS and some trial and error, my car is running the AMG TCU programming.

Glad to see you got the manual mode to work.
