No really.

Set your dash to read outside temp, turn key to position 1, then press the reset button 3 quick times, scroll through the menu (on the dash with steering wheel buttons) select dyno mode. Turn key off. Theres also a video on YouTube.

Just to be clear it doesn't "flash" the TCU it clears the adaptions the TCU has stored in it's EEPROM.

Thanks for the correction, I just went off my newby computer knowledge.

And op, id you try switching the gears around at 75-80 mph to see if there is vibration?

Not that it matters, but I got mine from BMW of Westmont. Mercedes didn't have any and this one was priced right.

Hey guys, thanks for the tip. Sounds odd, maybe a rite of initiation that you guys are pulling on me...lol - roll the windows up and down...

But if it works, how cool is that?

You guys are alright by me. I have already learned a bunch, and love my car thanks to you guys. So if joke's on me, so be it.

That being said, if this is really how you enter "dyno mode" then how do you exit it?

Hey guys, shout out to the two of you in sunny Buffalo, anyone in the area besides the dreaded dealer you recommend for service? Anyone have STAR amongst us, for quick things like lowering the temp the fan kicks on, telling the MOST system there is a phone on board, etc (I plan to buy the bluetooth puck)...

Thanks!

Chris

Dyno mode is very simple, click the reset button 3 times while on the temp screen, then use the arrows to scroll until you see 'dynomometer test rig; on/off with 15' or something like that, just scroll over off and start the car and navigate back to the mph/temp display, then youll see ESP not available rig test and ABS unavailable ... same procedure turning it off, just scroll through the menu and turn the rig test off. then your good..

Perplexed??

Thanks again guys - okay this one has me stumped. While driving home today, the "check engine" light came on. Car seems to be running fine, and the speedo display says "no malfunction". I have stopped and restarted the car once, no change. Seems to be running fine. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Chris

Also, they can tell you about the service history of your car. Congrats and good luck with it.
