Does anyone know what the central gateway software update for the 2004 E500 entails? Someone mentioned "A 1/2 hour with the SDS to update it". I don't quite understand.
Thanks - Claude (I am reposting because I did not see my original post from last night - I did see a reply though - strange)
Simple, you take your car to your MB dealer. The service advisor writes up a repair order. Your car is taken into the service area. The tech connects an SDS machine to your car and does a software update to your central gateway. If all goes well, you leave about a 1/2 hour later. What part of this are you not understanding?
Thank you for your reply. Will this update improve the pedal modulation characteristics of the sensotronic braking system? I am just curious as to which areas of the central gateway's domain this update will affect.
No, it is a central gateway update. There IS also a SBC brake software update. Two different control units, two different updates, two different recalls. Do you also need the SBC flash?
Send me you vin number [use my email address] and I will tell you what recalls you need.
