I have a Mercedes DAS diagnostic System for sale. Comes with all the software the dealer has plus something they don't have which is developer mode. Included is everything you need including an IBM laptop computer, various cables to hook up to any year Mercedes that had computer including the OBDII which I used when I did my V8 swap, multiplexer etc $700 Have 900 in it.

 

Bump for a good guy and a great deal.

Not to muddy the thread, but are you ever going to give us a little peak at that Lotus? We need info from the great swapper of Texas

Thanks Anthony!

Best of luck with the build (both of you)!

 

$700 is a great deal!

 

Yep.. someone needs to grab this up before I decide I have two cars and this is a wise investment.. LOL

 

I could diagnose abs/esp error.. set-program TPMS.. etc. type thing without first learning German.. correct?

 

I was going to ask a similar question. What does this DAS business do? I have an OBD-II scanner already.

 

Yep

DAS breaks down trouble codes. I'm just throwing numbers out there but say the manual states 300 codes, and you have an OBD that can read all 300, for the R170 chassis DAS can pull and display thousands. It's much more intricate and gives you pictures for troubleshooting as well as drive procedures, reset procedures, part numbers. You can change certain functions for the car...

Honestly if you own a Benz or a Crossfire IMO you need DAS. Screw OBD scanners, even the best on the market give you the run around considering they give you a basic understanding of the problem. It's like adult school vs harvard honestly.

Plus, if you get DAS and you ever need an ECU from me it makes the job a million times smoother

 

Hey guys,


I have been involved in off road racing for a few years now, but about a year ago I got really involved! I sold the lotus and bought a vintage Class 1 Unlimited buggy which we are restoring for the NORRA Mexican 1000 Rally. I have done this rally three times mostly as a team member and got hooked. The race is four days, over 1300 miles though the roughest terrain in the world. here is the build thread:

Here are some pictures of the DAS System.

 

Are good for tutorials for this old guy? Lol.

 

Doc, There is a simulation mode that allow you to play with it and get familiar with it without hooking it up to a car. It is menu driven, you can tell when you get to developer mode because it turns into German! This system is best for someone doing or has a V8 conversion. I did use it successfully on my car when it still had the V6 in it. I am not sure how if would communicate with an SRT. Some functions could be limited when a computer's part number is not common to a MB. Chrysler didn't use DAS, They used a really crappy system. I posted this on Benzworld since it will do anything to a Mercedes but listed here because some of the guys here have used them and/or want one.

 

Send me a PM for payment and lets light this candle...

 

PM sent! Shipping to OK from Dallas should be quick!

 

SOLD! Thank you!

 

Thanks. You have a buyer. So on to my next interest. Lol.

 

Held off as long as I could stand it Doc..
