Re: 2004 V8 6-speed
Havent updated in a couple of weeks... Nothing to report quite yet, I did some things with the ECU's wen't to go try it out and found that my battery is TOAST. Found out that my hand-me-down charger is TOAST. So tonight I have someone willing to lend me a charger so that I can at least see if the V8 ECU is alive still lol. SMD's are complicated little ba$tard$ to work on and it is very easy to destroy multiple things if not done carefully. I do not believe it will crank just yet, but if the ECU is still alive then there is a chance we can get there from here. I did not unlock it, I figured since I had all the equipment ready at one time I would just go with a part of plan A which is just swap the Immo from the V6 to the V8's ECU (saving the data in-between of course)... If it's a no-go then the rest of plan A would be the next phase, unlock Immo and try coding in DAS.
There is sort of an update, a while back I finally got ahold of the guy who paid Mercedes engineers on the side to figure this out and we ran through with them what we need to do... Well long story short they want way too much money then I have, about 3 times what I have paid for the build to date. But, they only asked for the computers so that is good news. Whatever the problem is we can figure it out at this point, it's just a matter of time. I am still 99% sure the problem is in the Immo, and correct coding in DAS.
