Was off today and took my SLK for the reflashed and my sensor for the coolant and washer fluid needed to be replace. I forgot to turn my roof module off, the service dept had a very difficult time reflashing my ECU. After two hours I asked them for an update, they said they need more time for further investigation. I kinda suspect it might be the roof module so I told the service lady I needed something from my car which I didn't, went there and turn off the roof module and took my sunglasses from the car. It was taking too long so they offer me a loaner, an hour later they called and said the reflashed finally worked. I'm not sure if this is coincidence or the roof module did cause it not to flash.

So a little bit of a warning, turn off the roof module before you take it in for service, I forgot until they told me they had problems with the reflashed. Everything worked, they had my car the whole day, will pick it up yesterday. I had a C280 4matic as a loaner, it's a nice small sedan, it's alot more solid and handles better than I thought.

thumbs up for the CVM, even when it wasn't turned off, they couldn't detect it, Dan do you know if the CVM would cause it not to reflashed? That's my guess.
