Oberndorf am Lech, A8 nach Augsburg und dann Richtung Donauwörth. Bei mir waren schon einige aus München.
Hast Du auch eine Star Diagnose?

ah okay. Das ist wirklich nicht weit.

Ne aber ein guter Freund.
Haben gestern mal ein bisschen rum gespielt.
Das piepsen beim auf- und zusperren haben wir gemacht.
Nur das mit dem Anschnallen hat irgendwie nicht ganz geklappt.

looking for some help from you guys. i've got two issues.
My first issue is that when i go into Development mode for my ECU I get the following error:



and then it goes in and ALL of the settings are blank





has anyone had the same issue before? I can go into actual values and it will show me the current settings there just fine....



so whats my issue here? do i need to recode it all?

second question is... is there Dev mode in the IC- instrument cluster module? I can go into Dev mode on every other module but the cluster...

Depending on the DAS version and whether there are updates for your particular car. If you have a ECU tune DAS may indicate an update is available - - - don't do it as it will replace your tune. I was able to update the SBS and electrical system and if I chose to, it would reflash my ECU with a factory file.

I know of no system other than registered dealer systems that receive automatic updates.

Just to be clear, are you saying you receive continuous online updates from MB to your clone system? Is DAS installed on your PC or on a outboard hard drive? And my last question; where did you buy this clone system as I would switch to it in about 1/2 second?

Mine does the same thing. I assumed its because I've had my ECU tuned so I will ask next time i'm at the tuners. Is your ECU tuned or stock?

Your COMAND unit is different than mine. You can in the older ones, not in the newer units.

that was when my ECU was stock. I haven't tried it after my tune. I will give it a try and see what happens.

yes, all the add-on updates from the online update bg (mercedes) all is installed on a dell d630 ATG (brand new condition $200) that i set up using a sdconnect (original actia)

laptop is core 2 duo 2.00ghz 2gb ram 80gb 7200rpm and is MUCH faster than the newest mercedes compact 4 system

tried it today, it lets me access one of them now. i have the ability to change my VMAX, but the EC tune is supposed to remove the limiter completely so I don't wanna mess around with that setting.

Is there a member in the Daytona, Jax, or Orlando area that has Star and would be willing to help me lower the stance of my E55. Finally got my front cf lip installed and are ready to lower this beast.
