I sent the laptop DAS back to Ecartool for upgrades and the latest DAS Version 11/2009. SentVia USPS Express Mail and it was there in 5 days. Got an email from the 'boys' that the touch pad was not in good shape so they sent the PC to ASUS (across the street for all I know) for a n/c fix. Had the system back about 6 days later. Everything that requires online access functions flawlessly. Also the 'date' issue is a thing of the past and the version of XP now has SP3. This was a no-no on earlier versions - - - really good stuff!

I wish people would post more "How To's" in DAS. Such as:
Clearing all adaptations. I found it, but I was afraid I would kill something.
Mods for chimes / Volume
Tweaks to Audio (If Any)
Folding Mirror on Lock (If car already has folding)
Clear and test if engine light on
General report on module health
Speedometer / Odometer replacenet (E63 Mod) to maintain correct milage
what else?? Im sure there is more!!

Mine came from an overseas supplier, and works fine out of the box!

Ok, now I want to lower my car with SDS. Who in SoCal should I go to?

where you said back out one screen. is the menu you need to change
"volume control: warning buzzer (usa)"

and does anyone have any further information on folding mirrors on lock,
I just want to confirm if what i have already posted is correct.

also has anyone done fuel remaining mod?

Thanks
Jazz

hey guys,
just wondering is it possible to turn off the bulb failure message?
so that we could put l.e.d sidelights in,
Thanks
Jazz

MB Tech lowered my friends e55 and He refer him to lower my SL55 via SDS. He lowered my car but it only got lowered in Front only and rear are uneven. He try to lower it again and told me my sensor is bad so he replace the sensor but it did not do the trick. Now he told me he could not lower my car. Now my car is sitting low in front and very high in the rear and uneven. I know he lowered few E55 but somehow he could not do mine. Lowering SL55 different than E55 ? Does anyone know or have an instruction or tip how to lower SL55 via SDS.

if you put good LED bulbs they will not throw codes, I have them in the front city lights and works well.

I'm working on a SL55 STAR lowering, I got it lower right now, but I'm not sure if I did it right. It is kind of different than the E55. When I get something solid I will post it.

On my first attempt I got an ABC malfunction on the dash, I've got that to go away, but we will see in the coming days what happens.

Also For SL folks, I was able to shut off the bothersome (to me) volume increase /decrease for when the top is down or up. I just cant stand it when the volume changes when I roll the windows up or something. That is gone gone gone now.

If anyone is interested in that I can post that up at some point.

How is possible that the W210 has this feature and the W211 doesnt?

Question about the lowering?

How far are people lowering the car with this? When lowering the car will it affect my camber to the point it will eat away the tires? When I press the button that raises the car will it lift it to the height it would now, or because of the calibration will it raise it in relation to how far I lower it?

Just looking around these seem like some of the best prices, Please note I have no expirence with this company. I also have seen some versions with the developer software. How many more adjustments are available with the developer software? Is it worth the extra cost?

Do these inclination values & voltages work on all Airmatic MB's?

It worked on my E55, but i want to lower my E550 4Matic too.

When you are at the initial start screen, it will tell you the range of inclination angles it will accept. Just use those on the next page, and stay in the allowed voltage ranges

Why would anyone pay anything for this? If one cannot do it for free, one should not work with developer mode to start with.

OK - - - I've got $15, so?

pm me ill forward you the info

quite a few things you need developer mode for

I just had the dealer lower the E63 one inch. It resets the starting point. Since I did this to get negative camber I did not have it realigned. Car rides much nicer, and handled great on track over the weekend. Cost: $180.

I live in Pasadena, CA and just had my car lowered through STAR at a Mercedes Auto Shop here in Pasadena. Ask for Carlos. He was a MB tech for many years. Very nice guy and very professional.

I sure wish someone could post this information on the Star system lowering for us SL55 guys.

anyone have any information about the active foglights?

.....

Anyone in Colorado with this software that is willing to share a copy of it or do some mods?
