Re: [MBZ] On other E500 news
I would add that as Mercedes got more and more “electronificated” there are more opportunities to enable features that the car didn’t originally come with. For example, my ML350 didn’t have rain sensing wipers. Everything is there for them, they’re just not enabled in DAS if the car wasn’t spec’ed out with them. I enabled them and now I have rain sensor wipers. Nice! -D > On Dec 13, 2021, at 4:31 PM, Dan Penoff wrote: > > One of the more less known functions of DAS and transmissions is the “fill > time” parameter that’s listed for the car.

Re: [MBZ] On other E500 news
One of the more less known functions of DAS and transmissions is the “fill time” parameter that’s listed for the car. It’s a really good way to get an idea of wear on the transmission, as when it wears the fill times increase and get towards the end of the time ranges. You can tinker with a lot of the parameters in there since most of the bootleg DAS systems have developer mode enabled, but you better know what you’re doing.

[MBZ] On other E500 news
Since I had the DAS hooked up I went through the procedure to reset the new conductor plate/TCM. I can’t drive the car since it’s slammed but I got no error codes so that’s progress. It seemed to shift easily enough into D and R. Interestingly if you know what you’re doing you can go in with the DAS and set all the shifting parameters. I looked at it but didn’t touch. The kid offered to set up some kind of “performance” profile but I declined.
