Ml 166 Xentry Developer mode problem

Have the SDS with 2012 software, and enabled developer mode.

but where in the hell do I find parameters to change? for instance looking at the front sam, I want to change some functions... I see nothing developer mode orientated like you would in the DAS English program.

I know it is active as it says in the beginning after the VIN is recognized "warning developer software active..."

If anyone has clue, please let me know. I also have another sds from hong kong that doesn't communicate, it runs vmware, but cant get the multiplexer to work. Bought from a member on here. been waiting 3 weeks for a fix now... but I am more worried on the 166 developer

Look in "Adaptations".

Developer mode doesn't add its own section however shows extra options in the standard sections.

Be warned however that every DEV option will be in German.
