DAS Software execute different modules and scripts for each car model, so if you are checking engine ECU, you have to use car model in DAS tha uses ECU you supervise, so if you swap your engine and ECU, you have to use CL500 from DAS and chose right year of construction.
From the other hand, if you have to check other modules then your engine ECU (ie AC, instrument cluster, ABS, ESP ...), just choose your car model (ie R170).
It will notice it and give you error message if you choose to select car by VIN, so that's why i advised you in my last post to choose car by chassis number (ie 215 --> 215.375 --> CL 500).
PS: Please backup eprom data before plugging DAS & engine, you can ask your nearest electronic Shop.

Thanks Karim
Does it make any difference that Beckman is unlocking the ECM to make it a virgin? It is my understanding that after they do this the ECM can be programed to any car that uses the ME 2.8 V8 ECM. Maybe I should check with Beckman to see what gets ereased and what doesn't? You may also want to send your phone number through private message to me so I have a life line if needed! I should have my ECM back by the end of next week.
This weekend I have to take the V8 exhaust manifolds (C43/C500/C55) to someone who can weld in the O2 bungs for the sensors to match my V6 manifols.
Karim did you use the same type exhaust manifolds? It appears that with the correct V8 C class manifolds my exhaust will bolt right up.
