The cluster only gets CAN signals with information on it, it can only do what it is told and display what it is told.

If I get a chance tonight I will run through it all on STAR and check

Top Man would appreciate it!

Scotland feels like its out on a limb here with no experts!

You know what, when I think back I am almost certain the digi speedos were reading fine while I had the German Speedo installed. Which leads me to believe that all the coding that needs to be done is in the cluster. I take it I would be safe to assume that?

If so if I had the VIN number of a eurospec C55 with the same options as mine could I just SCN code my cluster to that VIN with no harmful side effects?

This really cannot be the very first time someone has exported a UK car! Ask MB what should be done?

They are not interested mate, say there is no way they can do it!

And to be honest, most people would just live with it. But me...no not me!

I find that incredible! I'm not doubting you in any way, just find the response weak to say the least....

Perhaps one of our users from Oz could contact MB there and ask their opinion? After all you will be bringing in a very desirable vehicle.

They say its because of UK law and they cant take the UK mode off incase I decided to run around not showing Kph on my dashing. Never mind the fact my main Dial now shows Kph and I have no way of knowing what Mph I am doing.

The other crazy fact is MB Glasgow passed its ****** MOT with an instrument cluster that had now way of showing MPH, its crazy!

This is nothing to do with any development mode, and sure if you do the job correctly it will show MPH in the window as all cars should be able to display both KPH and MPH.

Yes I will go through it all as soon as I can, but too many appointments today so far.

I must say I do not know why this troubles some folk so much and I ask myself why do people want the read out to match what is on the main speedometer. I have this on both of my cars and it has never troubled me once. Perhaps some kind soul reading this will tell me why it it such a problem.

Sorry mate I am not getting you. Mine is saying in the digi display that I am doing for example 60kph but I am not I am doing 60mph. Are you saying yours does that as well?

I am just wondering if I have not described the fault I have as well as I could have. Maybe we are talking at cross purposes.

I will go through it all and give you the options of what you can have, and what needs to be told.

Ive been following your posts mate and i dont think anyone could explain it better.
Its not really an easy thing to explain and i dont envy you.
Especially with so many complex interacting modules.
I hope you manage it though.

SOLVED!!

Right got onto STAR today via another forum member and got this sorted out.

First thing was to go into the basic coding and set the country back to UK, and that sorted out the issue with the digital speedos. But obviously locked back down to just having Kph on the lower display.

Then into developer mode and enabled the Display Line, outside temperature. There was no change of Country as such needed. So all in all its is working as it should now.

Also rectified the folding mirrors. Like Malcolm said, it needed activating also in the 2 door controllers and F SAM.

So only leaves me with a couple of queries, not really problems.

1. Why does my Easy Entry/Exit only do the Steering wheel and not the seat. As I have seen menus that you allow to toggle Off/Steering wheel Only/Steering Wheel and Seat. Maybe we could just not find that option in German.

2. Does Key Dependancy need to be activated in anywhere other than the Cluster. As it appears not to shift the seat when inserting alternate Keys. Does stop the memory buttons moving to pre-set positions though. If I set it to off the seats setting work as normal. It works for saving individual cluster setting changes though.

All in all well pleased, and thanks to all that helped!!

Pleased you sorted it all out :D


The seat will only move back if it is set a fair way forward. if the seat is used a fair way back it will not move, you can test it out by moving the seat forward.

They key dependant needs to be activated so that separate keys can be used and the info for each stored

Yeah I tested the seat all the way forward and it never worked, however just read a thread on another forum and it looks like it was dropped in MY06. Only the steering column moves now.

When you say the dependancy needs activating, do you mean on STAR? As I have it on my cluster to Toggle. Or does it need to be avtivated in another module?

You activate in the cluster the key dependant

Re the other part when the seat and the steering move, in the cluster it says, if you have it, and you highlight one of the 3
