Guys,
As I surfed the Japanese sites more and more, there are other suppliers of these so called "plug and play" harnesses. It still looks like you need to hack into your original wiring in order to make it work, but from the look of the pictures on the following site, it's not much different from hacking say your airmatic wiring for your ELM to work....
Please check: http://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/...blog/16288447/
If any of you is a Japanese reader, maybe you can help ask where he got the harness from?

+1, I agree, it's like pulling teeth to get a straight answer from this guy. I get the feeling that this is a vendor advertising their service. I went back through the post and the response to the questions someone asked him were pretty vague. Don't get me wrong the conversion is nice, but something seems fishy in his responses (there's no direct responses to the question).
Also I see the car has European tags on it, but you can't make me believe that he doesn't understand English.

My brother just did the upgrade in Saudi Arabia except for the headlights, also he told me that he just changed the tips on the mufflers no the whole exhaust. He traded in the old amg bumpers and mirrors for the 2010 the cpst about $2600. So he is just waiting for a solution to change the headlights too.
by the way his car is 2009 S350

nice! looks great, the lights, bumpers, headlights, fogs and the S65 exhaust!
I'd lose the V12 badge - god forbid someone opens the hood on that thing and see the 3.5L power plant!!!

And even then, most non-MB owners wouldn't even know a 3.5L from a 6.0L...
But yeah, posing is pretty weak....but doubt anyone over there will call you out on it...
