Do I need to turn ionization off? Why or when?

I'm not sure what you're on about but I'd suggest reading up on ionisation and deciding yourself.

What is the problem if it always on? Why should it be turned off?

There really isn't a reason to turn off. In manual it mentions the drivers left vent should be left open when it's on.

Took the car to the dealer. They tested it and say that it works. I still can't sense any smell...

Very unlikely. The system came out I believe in the 2013 S Class and didn't become an option on other cars until 2015. If you have this in your glove box, you've got it. But I'm betting you don't.

Finally my Air Balance package works. It was a kinked hose above the glove compartment. Took it in for service A and I mentioned (again) that no smell could be sensed.

Thanks,
I bet the smell will become more pronounced once the weather warms up.

the part numbers are the following and installation looks pretty easy:
A 222 890 01 00 HOUSING PERFUME ATOMIZER
A 055 545 57 28 . PLUG
A 205 800 00 00 HOSE ASSEMBLY
A 000 995 44 14 LINE HOLDER


for the ionizer though, you'd have to remove the dash and/or heads up display if you have one.
the parts are:
A 205 835 06 00 IONIZER
A 000 994 27 45 FUSE

i'm currently using this:

Amazon.com: Carall Glare Fine Air Freshener Car Cologne (Water Squash): Automotive Amazon.com: Carall Glare Fine Air Freshener Car Cologne (Water Squash): Automotive

i strongly recommend this air freshner. Very classy smell, does not overpower and give headaches.

And it fits perfectly either on the center console cup holders or the door cup holders.

That looks interesting, what other scents/brands can you recommend? I want something for my car that has a neutral scent. I don't want to smell fresh linen or flowers or whatever manly musk people think men want to smell in a car.

in that case, get these:

Amazon.com: PURGGO Car Air Freshener - Fragrance & Scent Free - Lasts 365+ Days - Made with 100% Bamboo Charcoal: Automotive Amazon.com: PURGGO Car Air Freshener - Fragrance & Scent Free - Lasts 365+ Days - Made with 100% Bamboo Charcoal: Automotive

i'm an original kickstarter backer of this product.

it works, but not instantly. requires time, eliminates odors over time.

You recharge every 2 months by placing them under direct sunlight.

it's a more natural way to eliminate odors. i smoke about half a pack of ciggarettes on my car a day, so i use these to neutralize the tobacco odors. no air freshner in the world can get rid of ciggarette smells, however this product will do it over time. KEYWORD: OVER TIME.

i emailed 2 dealers and a aftermarket shop about retrofit air balance package 3 months ago, they all ignored me. now with parts available, i hope the dealer able to retrofit it.

depends on how bad your car is smelling.

what it does, it basically absorbs ALL ODORS slowly. i'd say within a couple of days, say 3-4 days.

AIR BALANCE

Hi, when you say you installed the air freshner, was that the whole system or just the fragrence cylinder? I'm interested in sourcing the parts from MB and doing a retro fit of this system, I'm wondering how much work is envolved, does the system need to be rpogrammed and what MB are likely to charge me for the parts.

Easy refill

Well
I have a 2017 C63 with Air Balance. The the factory supplied sent container ran out a couple of weeks ago. Replacements were $130. Ouch!!!
I unscrewed the top of the old cartridge using vice grips, cleaned out the oil residue and added Fabeze !
Works great!
