If i also remember, electrically there is no difference between the AMG and non AMG edu, it just programming. So once you clean up the v6 immobilizer it should work, well at least i hope it does.
Don't you just love Merceres Benz computers lol
The programming difference is the problem, that is right. But beyond that you can't even access what's needed in Star DAS. Like the immobilizer, for whatever reason they decided to make that along with the BAS and ESP only accessible with the DRBIII Chrysler scan tool. So with Star it's a "don't even waste your time" kind of thing. Even pure Mercedes cars you still need to get dirty (so to speak) to access data in certain areas. Like the whole AMG, non-AMG key problem. For non-AMG ECU's it is a lot more complicated than selecting a drop down option like it is for the AMG ECU's.
