One of the most helpful product for cross reference is ESI BOSCH, I used it to select car/chassis model in DAS :
Take ECU OFF the engine and note its second part number (the Bosch one) begining in general with 0 26x ...
Then crossreference Bosch part number in ESI Bosch software: it will list you Mercedes cars using that ECU: then choose one of these cars in DAS.

When I programmed my V8 ECU after conversion with DAS, I have chosen CL 55 AMG (w215) model and not CLK (w209) model whitch is my car, because ECU was taken from CL 55.
Now I programmed ECU using E 55 AMG bin file, it's smoother running, now when connecting DAS, I choose E 55 AMG Kompressor (W211) car model.

Selecting car model means selecting script family in DAS to communicate with ECU on CAN BUS.

Good information Karim,

I was able to make friends with a guy named Mary that owns LMV industries. He does Star DAS trainging all over the USA. He gave me a lot of good information as he trains all of the mechanics. He said that he doesn't know a single mechanic in the USA that is qualified to help me. He said I would just be paying someone to play and learn and thought it would be much cheaper for me to play and learn since I bought the Star system from your friend Velma. she was very good to work with! Mary mentioned that the only person who could help me to resolve errors in the electronics was non other than Bob Beckman. Bob called me today as he was working on my ECU. He has decided to help me with the programming by using the remote capabilities of the Star system. Bob will be programming my car from Durham NC. We are hoping to have the mechanical work done on the 17th or 18th of October and then get Bob online to assist with the programming. Now I am really getting scared but also excited!
