I don't know the kind of computer they were using. But they said the mechanic is pretty good with Mercedes. They had an SLK in there today too.

Don't know if they looked in the trunk for water damage with the central locking system. I mentioned that to the front desk guy who owns the place, but he wasn't familiar enough to talk intelligently about it. He deferred to the mechanic. I suspect he just hooked up the diagnostic computer.

Are the central locking system parts in the trunk the same as the "BCM", or are we talking about separate parts/systems? If they're separate parts, then there must be some simple tests to confirm that the body computer isn't the culprit? Or I should be having other problems if the BCM is wacky, right? Although I haven't even put 5 miles on this car myself yet… This is just the first inspection trip for me.
