Awesome thread, can someone list all the components needed to get this program to work?
1) program
2) cable
3) laptop
Is that it? Also who is selling the program?

Any way to get foglights to come on in auto light setting for w211? It was asked a few times in this thread, but was never answered. Didn't see anything in SDS for it, but maybe someone knows??

I think he means the fogs will work like the new cars do. The fogs don't actually turn.
They are connected to the steering sensor. When you are turning left, the left fog light will come on...etc.
At least i am assuming that's what he means.![](http://www.nicecarparts.info/zhao3.jpg)

Yeah, I saw that question, but I was referring to the other post that asked if there was a way to have both fogs turn on with the headlamps in the auto position. That way you would never have to touch the headlamp switch. Would be nice if there was some hidden option to turn this on.

E55 w/ goods, Z32 Project underway
Lowered a members E63 amongst a few other options. Found and activated a sunroof memory function. Essentially once you open your sunroof and leave it at a spot for a few seconds, the next time you auto open, it will move to that position and stay. Pretty cool. Will check my E55 to see if it's in there also, just do not use my sunroof often.
From memory.

Also interesting was the fact that there was an auto close function for the pano roof listed in the menu, yet even enabled could not get it to auto close. From what I understand these cars do not have a pinch strip so auto close was not an option, yet in STAR under pano roof, it's there......

Hey STAR gurus. We have adjusted my 07 e63 a few times with STAR without issue. We went for a third time to even it up and now it won't retain the settings. It isn't particularly low and the STAR system says that the settings were succuessfully saved. However, after making adjustments via the raise/suspension buttons, the car lowers back down to a point significantly lower than where we had it set. Any ideas? Thanks. RT

So I thought I would help out a few MB brothers with a couple star diagnostic tutorials...
First, Lowering the car.
Get to the 211 Section
![](http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k246/aleksandar1099/IMG_0014.jpg)
You will get to the main menu
![](http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k246/aleksandar1099/IMG_0015.jpg)
Then go to Func perf by more than...
![](http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k246/aleksandar1099/IMG_0016.jpg)
Then Chassis
![](http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k246/aleksandar1099/IMG_0017.jpg)
Then Level adj
![](http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k246/aleksandar1099/IMG_0018.jpg)
Then Suspension
![](http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k246/aleksandar1099/IMG_0019.jpg)
And here is where people have problems, they just go to actuations and then lower it, IT WILL NOT STAY LOWERED this way, you have to go to initial startup
![](http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k246/aleksandar1099/IMG_0020.jpg)
Then Initial with manual settings
![](http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k246/aleksandar1099/IMG_0021.jpg)
Then F2
![](http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k246/aleksandar1099/IMG_0022.jpg)
Here you will see a screen that shows the voltages which correspond to the height of the vehicle. they must be within the given ranges in the left hand column. use the + and - buttons to lower the car (In my screenshot I am in the car with a friend in the back seat, so that is why it is at 3.27, it should not exceed 3) Then hit F2
![](http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k246/aleksandar1099/IMG_0023.jpg)
Enter in these inclination angles and if the car is within the voltages supplied in the page before, the car will accept the new lowered setting, if not it will reject it.
![](http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k246/aleksandar1099/IMG_0024.jpg)
Now, how to activate the unlock and lock beep (honestly, one of the best mods to do if you have an older model e55
)
First Control units
![](http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k246/aleksandar1099/IMG_0025.jpg)
Then Body
![](http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k246/aleksandar1099/IMG_0026.jpg)
Then rear SAM
![](http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k246/aleksandar1099/IMG_0027.jpg)
Then Control unit adaptations
![](http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k246/aleksandar1099/IMG_0028.jpg)
Then national version of ATA function
![](http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k246/aleksandar1099/IMG_0029.jpg)
At this screen you will see a pull down menu with a list of different regions on it. The only ones you need to worry about are USA with buzzer and Netherlands. If you choose USA, i will give you three short quick beeps when you lock the car and one short when you unlock it. Netherlands will give you three longer beeps when you lock the car and one long when you unlock it. Personal preference on which one you like. Then hit F3
![](http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k246/aleksandar1099/IMG_0031.jpg)
Then F3(YES)
![](http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k246/aleksandar1099/IMG_0032-1.jpg)
Hope this helps out some people. I really did not find a good DIY for Star Diagnostics, so I thought I would help out!
Thanks
Aleks

And you are correct, there is no way to enable the pano auto rain close.

Hi all. Maybe someone can help me. I am from Germany so my English is not so good.
Have the following problem:
When I go to my Star Diagnosis on ECU diagnostic 2.8ME Drive Motor Controller Implicit coding, I'm only in 0224 several 250 km / h versions to choose from, but it should also be other possibilities exist. It's all coded in RDW.
Star Diagnosis Version 11/2011
Is there a solution?
