Eprom I re-burned is an AMD 29F400BB with 512 Ko bin file, the Eprom is similar to the one on the engine ECU.
I made a run Drag (0 to 100 km/h), I was about 5 seconds time.
This is the link to the video, enjoy !!

Karim that is a very quick car!!!

We spent today at Kraus Automotive in Lewisville about 8 miles from my home. The actual programing was done through remote access by Beckmann technologies. He was able to code the ECU so that my car is now a R170 SLK500 (which never existed) with a Chyrsler VIN number. My rear end ratio, transmission and transmisission ratios and tire sizes are all corect. He did this through variant coding in DAS Developer Mode which is all in German. We did run into one problem which is still keeping he car from starting. Believe or not, the shifter in the automatic is electronic and part of the imobilization system. He was not able to get the shifter coded and believes it is becuase the firmware in the donor ECU is version F2 and the car was on version F5. We are trying various means without success to update the firmware. Beckmann will try again in the morning and if it doesn't work we will have to send the ECU back to Beckmann for a re-flash. In short, there are many things that have to match up or the imobilization kicks in. Everything effecting the Immo is happy ecept the shifter. Until we reslove this the Drive authorization will not complete successfully.

P.S. Robert Kraus and his mechanics are all great guys and they would love to see some Crossfires come in for servicing. Their number is (972) 221-8743
