Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm The Manager and Member
DaimlerChrysler Services North America LLC: We have audited the accompanying statement of assets, liabilities and equity arising from cash
transactions of DaimlerChrysler Auto Trust 2004-B (the Trust) as of December 31, 2004, and the
related statement of cash receipts and disbursements for the period July 13, 2004 (inception)
through December 31, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the management of
DaimlerChrysler Services North America LLC, servicer for the Trust. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing
audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion. As described in Note 1, these financial statements were prepared on the basis of cash receipts and
disbursements, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than generally accepted
accounting principles. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the assets, liabilities and equity arising from cash transactions of DaimlerChrysler Auto
Trust 2004-B as of December 31, 2004, and its cash receipts and disbursements for the period July
13, 2004 (inception) through December 31, 2004, on the basis of accounting described in Note 1. /s/ KPMG LLP Detroit, Michigan
March 21, 2005
