Coding Side Marker Lights out with SDS

If you know how to disable the side marker lights in developer mode, could you please assist me so I don't get the warning light on the dash (it is all in German)? I have Compact 3 and Compact 4 versions of STAR to utilize.

I will look when I get home and can access my SDS.

I believe you need to set the region to one that does not utilize the side markers, however this will also change other aspects of the programming.

Everything in developer mode is indeed in German.

Shardul,

What I don't want to happen is that I do that and then mess up any other aspects of the car

I appreciate any insight you can give me. It seems that Steve (MBenzNL) does not believe it can be done. I just don't see why it would be easy for W211s or W219s and not so for our cars

It seems there may not be a solution for our cars. Steve says our Star software is less sophisticated than the 211s for example.

No, unfortunately. Just put the lights in and hid them in the bumper.

My S55 software may be much different than yours but this is what I came up with.

I went exploring in the star, went in to the front sam, than adaptions, there was a option listed some thing like national some thing or other ATA. that option let me recode the sam under ROW like the other post mentioned, now the markers are disabled and no more error message.

Was anything else on the car affected? I have heard changing it to ROW might also cause other changes on the car.

after changing to ROW if there are any changes you dont like, you can always recode that specific module to your specifications.

Assuming you speak German, right?

Thanks.
