Sorry, now I feel like a spammer posting so much in a row, lol, but I want to be helpful to those that may be unsure how these things work (as I was at one point also).
This module is a OBD flash device, meaning that it doesn't need to stay plugged into your OBD port.
You will plug it into your OBD port, following the providers instructions, which will write some code into your cars applicable logic stream. This happens fairly quickly, then you unplug the module and throw it in your sock drawer where it will probably live until you die, until a family member finds it in your sock drawer and wonders... WTF is this thing!?

Im not pushing anyone one way or the other, its your own choise. One favorites the technical side the other takes the easy side. I can only tell you that on my '21 w221 350BT i pulled the same connector as TS drove at least 3 years and 120K with it and it never ever had any issues with the , still original '12, alternator, battery, backupbattery or other systems.
And i used it as a taxi, so allót of starting, hopping in and out and all the things who come with it. I saw that obd sollution but as you know the obd port on a w221 is close to the left foot and seeing that thing reminded me of the stupid Mercedes-Me adapter wich i continiously touched with my shoe. And that thing was even smaller.

****. Me. Dead.
You rubes really pay $150 USD for some black box butchery hack rather than disable Eco the correct method through coding via DAS/XENTRY, Vediamo or DTS Monaco?
There really is one born every minute and this forum is full of them! Suckers, that is.

Say what "normally" - based on a obscure UK post from a Brit-diot - on a feature that just takes one press to deactivate on start-up (ahhh, I have to do that every time I start the car - I'm soo soo disappointed in Mercedes blah blah blah ) - or takes a proven $140 OBD module to re-program eco s/s BETTER - this dude hacks into his electrical - chops a whole wire - and then AFTER he cuts the wire - he asks the forum "I am so happy with my free hack - by the way does this wire do anything else - because I don't know really what this wire does"...
As a Mercedes enthusiast let me tell it the way this really is ... this is Forest Gump... stupid is what stupid does... report back on the Dumpster experiment with that wire cut

Five years later, and this soluition continues to work great. No annoying start/stop, reduced wear on the starter. If there's a small hit to overall gas mileage, I haven't noticed it. As before, no wires cut and still 100% reversible.

Another disadvantage of the autostart feature is increased turbo wear, on those models having a turbocharger.

I ran my '19 G550 for about 3 years with the disconnected battery sensor in order to disable *** without experiencing any problems. About 6 months ago, I coded *** off with a Launch Elite 2 MB scanner, and reconnected the battery sensor. Mild hybrids might not allow either disable method.
