Me and another member had ours done at MB of Westminster. Contact Scott Castleman. My car is absolutely slammed, they did a great job!

Aaron,

So I just pulled up my invoice and it wasn't cheap lol... $461.31. So if you can find someone with star it would save a boat of money I'm just not aware of anyone that has it in Denver

If not, like I said they did an absolutely killer job and I couldn't be happier. Just call MB of Westminster and ask for Scott Casselman, 303-410-7800. Come out to starbucks on Colorado this sat night and you can look at mine and the CLS that had it done if you want

-Tal

Did anyone ever figure out how to remove the Key Warning beep on Keyless Go cars? I have been all through Star and cannot find a way to do it.

Bought Star from this site. Received it within a week after sending money via Paypal. Works flawlessly so far. they use Virtual Machine running on a portable drive that they send you.

I'm going to the dealership to fix something right now, hopefully the guy will be cool and let me try out the -10 and lowering while the Star is already hooked up.

@ SashaR Well people are under the impression that it will make the car run cooler. There are a ton of things you can do with star.

My W211 E55 won't accept the buzzer modifications...keep getting this message. Is it possible my car doesn't have the siren? Any way to test it or know where it's located where I could physically track it down?
