When you get yours can you fix my clock? I replaced the original Blaupunkt with an Alpine not knowing that it was the head unit that you have to adjust the clock with.
You need the Star to tell it change the adjusting method from the head unit to the dash
She’s a pirated version that will do most of what will need to be done to keep them on the road, key coding etc. sellers on eBay out of the UK and US offer annual updates though.

What model Benz? Should only cost a standard scan fee for an Indy to do it?!

Mercury Bullet, but are Mercedes and the rest going to do that? We paid about $7k plus annual fees for a new Panasonic Toughbook OEM datalink adapter and software thru Volvo Mack Australia to carry out nearly everything that needs to be done on the fleet.
Same with the Cummins Insite around $2k pa in fees but the basic insite will do everything we need or a contractor needs. We run pirated version of insite and calterm to change tunes and parameters and there’s nothing cummins can do about it.
