I haven't driven the car for couple weeks and last week EC flashed my TCU with E55 file instead of SL55.
Car couldn't be started with the TCU connected but I can start the car if I disconnected the TCU!
But of course got some malfuctions running without TCU.
Unfortunatelly I couldn't just swap my TCU from my E55, I thought they're the same.

But EC has been very cooperative and will compensate me with something.
I received the reflashed TCU back today:

Plus some new stuff just arrived![Wink](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)

I think changing steering wheel is pretty easy.
Will take a quick vid soon.

Looks like I need to test fit everything before painting parts.
First my mirror covers didn't fit...

Now my red-painted paddes also didn't fit, so had to order brand new ones...
