Weird 55 DAS question
Anyone know how to access a 55K ECU without a CGW present in their vehicle? I understand if you own a 55 you wouldn't need to deal with this problem, but figured I would post here anyway just in case.

That's what I tried first, then tried with the VIN coded in the Immo. As soon as I select ME SFI it says it cannot connect to unit and if you click ok and try again it says, cannot connect to CGW.

it is a small box with one connector for a harness. All you would have to do is find the harness and plug in the CGW. it is located under the dash by the hood release.

The higher end MB models came with it as another communication module. The lower end SLK's, C's etc. don't have them. Hell the R170 doesn't even have a SAM.

Wow, well I'll go looking for it and see what I find. For coding a CGW, do I need a new one or can I buy used? I saw one for $50 which is why I'm asking.

Do you think that there will be issues since I don't have a SAM, DAS module or most of the other modules you guys have? I have an RCM, SKREEM, and run the old style transponder key. I'm guessing I could set all of it to not present in the cgw coding but want to make sure.
Edit: I meant I don't have a DAS Module not EIS.

No plug found under the dash, but I think I figured it out.
Thanks again for the help Shardul,

This place is a joke.
Ok, did you try telling star you were working on a 55 and manually accessing the ecu? Aka control units/drive/me
