Hello,
I have been on the hunt for a Control Unit part number 0345456532 for my CL65 AMG and have been unsuccessful. Have checked with the dealer and Ebay with no luck.
My CL only has 90,000 miles in the twenty years I have owned it. I love the car and hopefully someone can direct me to someone/place that may have one.

You know most of these car computers can get refurbished.
Search Internet in that direction. Then ship your unit over for complete satisfaction.
Hopefully this will make your car run great again else they may code a spare replacement.

You know, amazingly these are starting to turn up in Picknpulls.
I saw one the other day online.
Check row52.com and see whats near you.
Unfortunately none are near me anymore.
Thank you everyone for the ideas and leads.
My tech says there is a specific Control Unit to the CL65 AMG and that the ones I have found, with the correct part number, are not correct for my car.
Somehow water got into mine so I need to find a new/used unit and have it programed to my car . I am told mine is not rebuildable.

Unprotected swamped electronic units are hardly repairable as such ...
Your unit has a tiny E2PROM memory chip that can be transferred over to new/used unit.
Internet shops deal with that all day long, no problem!

Thank you. That is exactly what my tech said. Just having an issue finding the actual replacement unit.
I have contacted Benz Ninja but they are asking me to "Become a member or rent if you are in the USA" and I am not sure what that all means.
Do you have a shop/service recomendation?

I found the correct module and we have a local shop here in the SF Bay Area that can code the module. Fingers crossed. Hopefully I can follow up
with a success story soon!
Appreciate all the input from everyone.
