I do have a very good understanding of electronics, as I deal with them on a daily basis, I can read electrical/electronic drawing easily and I think that something like this will work perfectly. I've recently been doing my own research on how to defeat the ASR on my '97 C36 AMG, while I haven't read completely through this thread my first impression is that it is probably very true. I've found some technical data that states that the ASR is completely disabled when the stoplamp switch(S9/1) is engaged, this is the switch that is actuated by the brake pedal - turns brake lights on and off. It is a 4 pole switch with 2 of the poles going to the ASR control module (N47-1). So as the brake pedal is pushed it defeats all function of the ASR, but natrually it lets the ABS function fully. My theory is that with some simple rewiring of the ASR switch, one could "trick" the ASR control module into believeing that the brake pedal is constantly applied, and TaDa... no ASR, and no trouble with ABS. Making it switchable means one can have all the benefits of ASR, but also turn it off for more fun. I have not had the time to try this out yet, and as it is the dead of winter here where I'm at ASR is greatly appreciated. I'm planning on trying it out this spring. I don't know if this is the same conclusion/method that vcci is using but I know it can be done. Post back if someone wants more details on my theory... good luck.
