It’s the DAS Xentry HHTWIN latestgreatest MB software combo on a laptop. Ordered it from a Chinese vendor off AliExpress. Was like $600 which is a lot but I guess buying a cheap nice car and getting it running sorta justifies it now. Finally got it to work right, I must have been doing something wrong with it before. I’ll get the link.
Now I need to check out the SL600 and the ML320 and see what’s up with them. The ML has a similar problem with the tranny apparently but I was not successful before at trying to figure it out, will try again now that I blundered into success. --FT Sent from iPhone > On Oct 10, 2019, at 7:56 AM, Larry Turner via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > Way to go!!
