Hello smart enthusiasts!


My recently acquired smart may need ABS programming, I'm not sure when the last time was that anything was updated in the firmware.


Can any Mercedes dealer with STAR do this?


Also: there are some iCAR scanners that are more reasonable than the STAR scanner with continuing updates.
Can they clear smart codes? Are they good?


Also, what does a firmware update cost at the dealer, plus what does a VMI cost for past repairs?

I believe you are limited to dealers who service smarts. Some dealers previously sold smarts but now don’t but will continue service for a couple few more years until warranty’s are covered on cars they sold. A very limited number of dealers are still listed as “selling dealers” even though the smart brand is being dropped after the last of the 2018 models arrive in the U.S.
