2019 GLA 250 - I am in purgatory right now...
Changing from E to S mode
Hi Guys,
I have a 2014 C250 coupe. In my '08 It would stay in S mode once I switched it there. I noticed very shortly thereafter any command updates or the 09 model it starts in "E" mode every time you shut off the car and restart it.
Is there a crack or programming change I can make so I can avoid having to set the car to "S" mode every time I start it? This is a really annoying feature in this car.
Much TIA
Rick

My 2012 C250 switches back to E mode as well and I haven't heard of any way to change this.

Might be possible with an ECU flash. I know the tunes adjust the shift behavior as well.
