Developer Mode Question

So I figured Id post here since Id get a response quicker vs the R230 thread. I finally got coilovers on my SL65, my rebuilt trans from Southern Hot Rod and a my upgraded torque converter from Protorque. All thats left is to code out my ABC. I know SDS after 2011 dont have developer mode but I was borrowing a friends SDS and tried to follow the instructions given to me by one of the coilover vendors. Apparently after going into the ICM there should be somewhere in the list where it says Developer mode. I didnt see that tab anywhere. I accessed the car through DAS. Is there a speical program to run developer mode or a button to hit? Its either that or my friends star doesnt have it and I'm gonna have to try it on my crappy IBM star. Any thoughts?

On the bottom on each page there will be a line item that says special function or development date. That is the developers section for that particular module.

Okay thats what I thought when I used my IBM.

Side note Shardul, my IBM keeps restarting when I cold start it and I need to go to the BIOS to adjust the date before I can use my SDS. SDS still works but its annoying going to bios every time to use it. Is this a HDD issue or the PC itself?

Some DAS systems are date specific
