Gentelmen

I have a 1996 SL600
VIN # WDBFA76F6TF131011
Production Date 11/95

According to any literature I can find, US models used the DAS System II starting 9/95, which disabled engine starting via CAN buss or PWM. I belive mine is the CAN bus version. I have not been able to confirm that this is a system II and According to online EPC the if IR control module I have P/N @10 820 27 26, is from A G wagon. Furthermore I cannot find any of the components involved in the DAS system in the online EPC.

The literature also talks about a transponder and shows a second wire entering the IR module right next to the CAN wire. I dont have a place for this second wire. Does that mean I dont have a transponder.

My ultimate goal is to disable DAS so I can put this engine in another car. I understand I can do this by getting the engine running and disconnecting the module while it is running. It would be helpfull If I understood this system.

Can anyone identify this system and give me some advice

The components involved on my SL600 are shown in the pictures.
