ECU Reprogramming?

I agree with Blassberg. It can be done if you have a fuly functioned mirror "frame" and then its activated on the ECU. I try and get mine done to see........

Thats for "Face lift" cars - Andy's is a"Pre Face Lift" - therefore cannot be done. If he really wanted this mod than an additional "module" will be required to make this mod work if not got the memory seats.

I am not certain if Face Lift cars can be programmed via STAR to do this mod without the required module but will check this out.
 
I thing the left door control module is fine but the actually mirror frame needs to be specific to this task!

Therefore STAR "alone" cannot do this mod without changing some parts/components such as, for example, module (depending on the cars' spec and possibly others parts too...)

well there is only one way for me to find out!

I will double check and see if STAR alone can do it on the "face lift" cars - Personally I think it cannot be done VIA STAR just by changing the setting... ;)

Let me know how you get on if I dont get back to you first.... :)
 
My indy got my mirrors to fold up and my hood to fold and un fold whilst holding my key granted its on a BMW, but I was speaking to him about the fourm and he can activate the TV to stay on whilst your driving for merc I'm woundering if with his equipment he can get your mirrors to fold and unfold like he has done on my BM

...any news on tyre pressure feature settings?

Not yet - I am meeting up with him this weekend for a couple of pints and will let you know.
 
Update.

we had another go at my car today and my car now has the following mods.

1. Aux input for Audio 20 (in Glovebox)
2. Auto Folding mirrors and control menu.
3. Auto passenger mirror turn down when in reverse to aid parking :cool: (plus controlling menu)
4. Auto Cornering lights
5. Blipping alarm
6. Kph speedo replaced with temperature gauge plus controlling menu.

Also Steve will be coming to the GTG about 1pm and will bring bits like ipod integration kits and so on in case anyone wants them fitted.

HTH
 
good stuff R2

were 2 and 3 separate mods?

going for tank capacity too?
 
2 and 3 are separate things. On my car the dipping mirror required ECU reprogramming and a new mirror frame:(

Flash is checking the settings for tank capacity and tyre pressure loss this weekend.

Then I think I'm done (I'll have to get a new car!)

Having had many discussions about this area of modding. I am looking at the possibility of holding a modding party where the following items could be set up on cars with the suitable ECUs for a minimal price because we were all together:

1. Auto Folding Mirrors on locking car.
2. Adaptive cornering lights,
3. tyre pressure loss,
4. alarm chirping
5. Airmatic ride height ie. lower the car
6. Comand TV on the go
Edit 7. temp instead of kph

These mods can be done on many cars but mainly those with DAS4 and above fitted. (modern ones!)

If anyone would be prepared to come to Kent on a Saturday (to be agreed) in order to get any of these done then please can you PM me.

I'm intending to get 1,2,3 done (I cant decide about 4).

Edit. Its a bit General, a bit electrical, a bit gtg a bit modding, a bit classified....so I left it here!

DAS4 doesnt exist. Compact III only came out mid2005.



1/ 2005 cars only. Unless fitted by someone with advanced Star.
2/ NO PROBLEM
3/ NO PROBLEM
4/ NO PROBLEM
5/ WTF ?
6/ Requires special hardware install with widescreen C-Class COMAND
7/ ??

The items we discussed before and now all over again ......

CAN NOT BE DONE BY NORMAL DEALER STAR
-----------------------------------
- UK variant deactivation
- Volume in fuel tank
- Additional coding of pre-2005 cars to have auto-folding

THINGS YOU SHOULD CONSIDER
-----------------------------------
Changing the left mirror to full option mirror with memory so that you may have 'left-side dipping' on reverse gear.

Done yesterday and have to agree its cool. :cool:

Airmatic obviously isnt available to C Class owners but to those who have it you can lower the car from the ECU. I believe Maff may have done this??

I have now done all the mods apart from tyre pressure monitoring, which we just cant find (clues welcome;)) and tank capacity which I we cant do at the moment.
 
My car (late 04 facelift model) has auto lights but not auto wipers.

Does anyone know if both functions use the same sensor so I could have auto-wipers enabled? Or are they separate sensors?

Different sensor. Lights and rain are in the one combined sensor on facelift. If you don't order rain , its just the old light sensor thats installed.

Sorry they are separate sensors. I tried this on mine and the sensor didnt fit the housing:(
