STAR coding Q's: instrument cluster / lowering suspension
STAR guru's, please help me out here. I've searched and read and it seems everyone just says "go in and do it".
Um, yeah - I'm noht that smaht apparently d'oh.
Tried to lower car via STAR - we could set it to where wanted it via the "Function" buttons to "+/-" each corner, and had it where I wanted after unplugging computer / shutting off car / restarting. However, suspension reverts to default setting upon moving the car. How do I get the setting to 'save'?
We also tried lowering it via entering the numerical voltage values via Nomess inclination gauge (don't have the gauge but tried the values suggested in the EClass forum via a link provided from Renntech, something like 5.2 and -1.3 IIRC), but that resulted in an error that the values were not within the accepted range (which they appear to be so I'm even more confused). ABS light now comes on when starting car, goes out w/ "R" button.
Awesome.
Regardin the cluster, I was hoping to acheive the ROW setting vs. USA and lose some of the ghey chimes and buzzers - forget which I'd read but it sounded appealing. It changed, but also did not save... but now my clock is 1.5hrs fast and in 24hr time, and my speedo reads WAY slow (digital works fine).
Awesome again.
That STAR system sure sucks hog's nutes compared to VAG-COM for VW/Audi. Tried to make best of it and ended up w/ 'this'.
Awesome.
ANY insight appreciated here gents, thanks in advance. I know a number here have done both these, and more. Please help 8-/.
Car looked sooooooo damn goooooooood properly lowered... I gotta nail this.

the crickets are even bored in this forum, wish things would be a bit more active
anywho
was able to get it maybe 1" lower so far via instructions shared on the S-AMG forum. Hope to find a little more via a 2nd go-round.
I thought I'd find that AMG forum more active than here due to those being more 'enthusiast' type cars... oh man... what a grave yard it is over there.
Shame... we could use a more active forum gents!

I too have tried lowering my S55 in Star. It's tricky and you can spend hours and get nowhere. Voltages for me needed to be above 2.2 volts for STAR to accept.
Inclinometer values used were "4.8" front and "-1.4" rear.
I gave up and ordered these links from the UK for $157

Will let you know how they work out.
