Good replies from the E55,E500,CLK55,CL600,etc.... I didnt see any CLK500/209's over there. Anyone willing to try this on the w209 clk500 and get back to us.

Most of us have done that already. It works

Nice.. I figured this would be old news, but I thought I'd stick it out there. Has anyone experienced any mirror/seat/radio re-settting?

gottarex

I'm concerned about that as well. It took me like a whole day setting up and storing my seats/mirror settings. I don't want to have to go through that again.

The procedure is just to reset your thottle/MAf not the ECU where all setting memories is lost. Only worry if you ever disconnect the battery.

Have you tried this yourself and does it work.

BennyzGirl

After reading that thread and not one single person making a note of having to reset mirrors, seats etc I will say that it will not be an issue.

fGonzalez

What is this for?

Klinh

Yes, it does work on mine CL 55 and Clk 500. I also try it with my Sprint booster installed and it didn't work well with the Sprint booster. I have to remove the Sprint booster then put it back after the adaptation is done.

Ok now i Know...

But how long do you have to drive hard after the ECU reset to keep the program pumped up?

BennyzGirl

It was mentioned in the thread that it goes for 40 shifts to determine where to set.

CakeDaddy

Sorry, but you are wrong. Go back and read pages 3, 4, 8, 12 very carefully. Its a small percentage, but........... It was mentioned

I guess so. I read though the first 2 pages and never saw anything mentioned. I figured it would have been said early on. Sorry for that.

CakeDaddy

Yeah... it took some digging into. I was intrigued, so I read the entire post to get as much info as possible and that's rare for me





It's to go fast!

Actually tried this yesterday. Initial impression was the car seemed a bit peppier right after the reset. It pulled hard but that could also be due to the tranny shifting at higher rpms than before. I haven't played with the memory functions yet but my side view mirror still adjusted back down to my setting when doing a reverse. I'll check and see later if my memory functions stayed the same. I'd also like to add that I do baby my car when I drive it so I really can't do a fair comparison because yesterday was only one of few times that I've mashed the gas pedal to the floor .

Now am I supposed to drive it like I stole it for a few miles in order for the ECU to adjust?

M-bENZ

It should be more than a few miles.

I tried this and it works. Nothing else was damaged during the process. I got a new tranny and torque converter last week after mine went bonkers and I can definitely say the downshifts are a lot quicker and the tranny always wants to goto red line. I am assuming whichever mbenz tech put in my new tranny, drove it slowly through the gears while they were test driving it to make sure there were no problems...

This makes a whole lot of difference for me since I've been drivin like a grandma lately with the 19" =) . Quicker response all around, feels like driving a new car, thanks for reposting!!!

Where did u get your tail light ? looks good bro. and how did u tint it ? is it jsut the clear part or the whole thing ?

Andy

OcangCLK

I swapped my OEMs with a forum member, the tint is only around the outer part, it's spray painted @ medium. Also using silver colored turn signal bulbs from Sixity Inc to complete the clear look.

M-bENZ

ic and have u lower your car yet ? lolz

Andy

OcangCLK

No but I had a couple of 200+ pounds b1atches sit in the rear seats and liked what I saw !! It made the car lower than any installed H&R springs would haha. But soon enough I'll give up and follow the crowd.

zdfun

Great, thanks for reminding me about it... it works perfectly!

Jaydeath

anybody know if there is a launch control mode for the CLK 500?

BennyzGirl

Step on brake, mash gas, release brake
