My wife's car just says not activated, but it says it about every 8 minutes and kills the music for a few seconds to do it. VERY annoying!

There is a specific setting to disable this message while everything else is still working as expected.
The correct steps are explained in WIS but that means one would actually have to get familiar with WIS, look it up and read it.

Can anybody guide me on how to reset or normalize the steering column height adjustment in star? I replaced the dog bone when the motor was all the way up and the column was all the way down.

No such thing. Motor knows top and bottom by increased current flow once it reaches the end.

It’s a piece of white rubber that looks like a dog bone or a sand clock which connects the electric motor with the steering rack’s gear box to electrically raise and lower the steering column with the steering wheel on it.
There is a thread on here about the repair when this rubber piece snaps in half. There are also some pictures. Feel free to search for it. It’s quiet enlightening.

I've changed the instrument cluster with a white dials one, but it's not just a plug&play device.
How can I pair (or code) the new instrument cluster, with the other computers of the car in DAS/Xentry?
I am asking because the milage is not correct, the segments from the cruise cntrl are not shown and I have a speedtronic error on the new instrument cluster display.

Well, since I keep buying more MBs I guess it's time to get a star setup. I think I have a handle on most of it, but I keep getting hung up on is whether I should be buying a C3 or C4 or C5 or C6 or what. Can someone point me in the direction of the info I need to make this decision? Thanks!

- SDconnect is all you need
- Xentry Connect was never cloned by anyone. You’ll buy a SDconnect in a Xentry connect case
- Bosch VCI I’m not sure if the Chinese cloned it yet

Now I have two speeds on my IC.
The needle of the speedometer shows a different value than the speed displayed in the middle.
Even the units are in km/h, the speed shown in the middle display is mph. The video is a DAS test, but it behaves in the same way when I drive the car.
Example: Speedometer needle = 100km/h --- speed displayed in the middle = 62
Speedometer needle = 260km/h --- speed displayed in the middle = 160
How can I correct this with Xentry/DAS??

You offered me your help by charging me with $200. That's not help, that's a paid service (and by the way, two of the first errors I solved by myself by studying different forums)
I need people who can share information, not sell them. For example posts #73 or #383 are helpful for those guys who want to change those things.
I hope you got my point ;-)

It's not an easy fix as long as nobody give me an answer and I keep asking in different forums because I haven't got an answer yet.

No because you violate forum rules and if you would want it fixed properly you would have gotten help. If everyone could do it why don’t you fix it yourself? You must be a socialist or an entitled millennial with an attitude. Never mind. You’re the man. Just keep driving around with dashes in your cluster.
#1323
How did he violate forum rules? Most people come to forums to figure out how to DIY not pay folks a couple hundred bucks to give them answers. You can insult him as much as you want but if you look at the situation (a guy looking for a solution to an issue on an online forum/community) you are certainly the one out of line.
There is a good reason people don’t just hand over everything for free. It takes time, skills and knowledge. Just because some in this world feel entitled to get everything handed for free, doesn’t mean I have to help him for free. And the amount of clusters I work on shows I’m doing something right.
He’s the one driving around with dashes not me. So figure it out on your own, buy a new cluster or live with it.

Shows that nobody reads the rules when they sign up including yourself. Enough said about this.

If it would only be a setting ROFL
You are the loser by not understanding a thing that’s going on with his cluster. You two should get together. Perfect teammates LOL
