yes,after 5 minut can you start car

and sd online

ISM module has no SCN coding. You need only StarDiagnosis,
simply do initial startup.

Hi,
Should I unzip your ISM, and soldering them rebuild. You need to lose weight gearbox and let it down. ISM's is fixed in three screws. After you get you have to remove all the silicone you will find the shape and Torx screws. You have also screw in the center.
After you've opened, you may find a cold solder joint to the connector or to find a little engine brushes blocked (80% of cases)

sorry to bring an old post from the dust, but I would have an ISM to fix or replace on a W164...
the last link about fixing flash is a 404 error, file not found...

can someone explain me what type of fix could be made in flash?
I just don't want to invest the 1850$ it would cost me to update my AVDI so I can virgin the donor, and if I transfer flash from original ISM to donor's one, I'm afraid I won't fix the problem.
so any help is more than welcome guys!!!!

thanks!
