None whatsoever. Perhaps your speed had been greater than 62 MPH prior to stopping. This will cause the airmatic to lower the car about 3/4" if the ride select was in comfort mode above that speed.

That's it, thank you Ag. Was in Comfort and coming off of 62+MPH. Also, had the radio/nav off to listen to the newly installed MBH headers. Perhaps that's why I was never aware of this before. I appreciate it!

Key programming

Can't seem to find anything when I search. Is there any way to program key fobs with the star system?

No you can't. I think that is another system.

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...
A this has become a convoluted thread with many questions and few answers (folks like secrets here to pay the bills); concerning the above, when I run into this exact issue, I unplug everything, unplug the OBDII, reboot PC, then try again, Almost always works after and the fields are populated. I keep the car off with key out for a minute.

The other way I have found that works pretty consistently is to read coding first (as if you are going to transfer to another unit), then try this again. Works for me every time

Mercedes C55 T AMG
question

Hi all,

I have a question. I have a Mercedes C55 AMG T and Star Diagnosis Developer.

Like my Vmax would lift or remove.

I was already in the engine control unit with developers because it says invalid encoding exist! the code 0224 can lift the Vmax to 280! But if you do it and test it sealed off at 250!

Does anyone have an idea?

Thank you

My question is this: I've read where the airmatic system will automatically lower the car after reaching highway speeds in Comfort Mode, or something to that affect. If I lower my E55 to my desired height, will the system still lower it further when I reach highway speeds? I don't want my car looking like a corny muscle car with the back end raked in the air going down the freeway. Or worse, lower it automatically to where it rubs the fenders.

My understanding is that the suspension will lower the car in all suspension modes, not just Comfort. If memory serves the trigger point is 68mph, and the car will drop by 15mm (comfort mode) and 10mm (sport and sport 2). If your car was in Raised Mode, that will also be disabled at highway speeds.

I'm not sure if there is any way to disable it in Star, or if the aftermarket ELMs (Renntech or Programa) will override those factory behaviors.
