Default Dealer Programming Crossfire

Does anyone have a list of what they can program at the dealerships on the crossfire. I think they can change the time that the headlights stay on after shutoff. Can they sound the horn when locking with remote? Thanks Ron

99% of dealers don't have STAR, which is the MB tool used to change all those programs.

They have DRB, which is basically a fancy code reader. You need to find a local shop with STAR, we have it and we're in NJ, that can do it.

I think Sparta is about 35-45 mins away.

I have used both on my car and the like TVT says, the DRB is pretty much useless, but the STAR system is the real system our cars were designed for. Shoot, you can even use the STAR system to program a V8 ECU to your car!

Yeah, but that only helps if you have a V8 motor in the car..
