Do you guys really feel a difference when resetting adaptations? I have never reset mine (besides when battery died or I changed battery). Maybe it's worth a shot I have an older model though

Nice detective work fellas

I have tried resetting "Key Gas Pedal" method and I didn't feel a difference. Only time I felt a diference was when I took my car to the dealer and they reflashed the tranny software. I'm not doubting you "Masters" but is there actual proof that you can reset it with the "Key Gas Pedal" way?

Thanks

I've done the sneaky ECU reset and it makes a noticeable difference with my car. I haven't yet used DAS to reset the adaptations but will give that a shot before my next time out.

How can I get that program and how much is it.

Literally night and day bro.

Unreal sometimes how doggy this software from hell sets up our cars...

Worth a shot for sure. Non AMG guys have reported quite a difference (non 63 7 speed of course)

**edit. This all hinges on how ya drive it ya know. I only get a few times to let lose with the car and most other times, it's granny driving weaving in and out of speed traps so she always sets up geezer for me**

I gotta be honest, I did my first Sneaky reset in quite a long time this weekend and with the key all the way to the right JUST before she starts....it did nothing after 3 mins. I gotta try it on accessory or whatever it's called (2 clicks over from starting the engine and see if that does the trick)

I know I have done this before and it was dramatic but this weekend it was a bust.

Interesting.

Maybe I am not pushing hard enough (car). I'll give it a shot again today. I'm in SoCal so most of the time i'm in traffic anyway.

Thanks guys, glad to know people are really feeling a difference.

Wow I'm such an Idiot, I found a thread that sais Position 1. All this time I did it on position 2. FYI to get into dyno mode I go to position 2 then back to position one then do the 3 clicks, doesn't work other way.
I'm going to try the position 1 maybe now I can feel a difference.

Reset Adaptive Gearbox/Throttle Settings:

This ECU reset procedure only erases the ADAPTIVE transmission & throttle settings. It does not erase any of the fuel/timing or other programming.

1. Put the key into the ignition and turn it clockwise to position 1 (first position).

2. Press the throttle pedal to the floor and hold for five seconds.

3. Turn the ignition key anti-clockwise to position 0 (Off), then release the throttle pedal. DO NOT remove the ignition key.

4. Wait at least two minutes for ECU to reset.



I just hope I don't get a placebo effect

Its position 2, you go to the 2nd Click.

The key is to make sure all your windows are closed including sunroof and radio is on mute/off.

acb

It has been said elsewhere that you cannot open the doors while you are waiting to remove the key as well. havent worked out if this is true or not yet.

W203E35

Interesting so all the doors including sunroof have to be closed. Also it has to be on position 2 and wait for about 2 min?

I'll give it a try

Also, the reset is more likely to take if you sit there for the two minutes with your right thumb up your *** and your left index finger stuck in your left ear.

Give it a shot.

zoink

I heard the 2-minute wait would be significantly shortened (like 1-1.5 minutes or even less) if you do dirty talks w/ the car **while waiting**; making the car arouse faster.

Think I read somewhere that you should not do this if you have your ECU tuned...although I am not sure why since it only resets tranny adaptations.

DAS = software + multiplexer + cables. You can find complete packages from time to time on Ebay and in the classifieds section of this forum. You can also assemble a system from pieces per Finny's guidance: https://mbworld.org/forums/3480087-post345.html

Hope that helps.

This is much simpler than looking through classifieds or buying Chinese garbage clones from eBay... http://www.jcrecordings.com/hardware/complete-set-up

FWIW, the bottom of that page reads "Available to UK Customers only." So, no, unfortunately it's not necessarily simple to get that unit delivered to a non-UK postal code.

I've had nothing but great experiences with John, the owner of JC Recordings. He is extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. He might be willing and able to make special arrangements for a non-UK purchase. But people outside of the UK should contact him first and not simply haul off and hit the "Buy Now" button.

mthis

thank you as well as oxygen. I'll look Into it asap thank a milli

One more question for u fellas. What's the diff from this to the star try use at the dealer I'm not good with this kind of stuff a friend is Im looking into this for him

Oxygen

Staten Island? Cool you should come down man would like to check out the C63!

jmf003

It's the same setup as the dealer. DAS, SDS, STAR, STAR Diagnosis, and STAR Diagnose are all acronyms for the same system.

And if you unlock the developer mode you have one up on the stupid dealer!
