OP stated repro(grammed?) for more horsepower and torque: https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...ml#post9158917
Sounds like another word for tuned to me.

U016887 - Communication with electronic ignition lock has a malfunction
Have to resolve the communation losts...
It is like restart(s) of engine, result - goes to Comfort.

It can be coded to 4 hours memory of chosen mode (for 9G box).
Should mask the problem...

This code doesn't have to do with OP's issue though, I seen many W205 have this and it is a stored code but it doesn't actually affect the functionality of the vehicle. The fix for this was simply a software update via XENTRY.

Found a XENTRY TIPS document for that code actually, again, nothing to do with OP's issue and can safely ignore without impairing the vehicle's function.

It is strange how OP's tune caused this behaviour but from the other thread, MSL tune could possibly cause this issue.

Serves as a reminder to always provide the full picture when posting about issues. More often than not, problems are caused by aftermarket modifications, especially electrical issues. I didn't even realize that you are the same person who is having issues with the flickering video and sounds like it was due to the same issue. First place to start with any random issues are the aftermarket modifications.

this one was not easy. Because the issue was caused by Electromagnetic Coupling ... and NOT by any equipment malfunction / bugs / software... the solution was just to move the GSM antenna has far away from NTG

Same thing. Interference from aftermarket equipment is not unusual. As an electrical and computer engineer I can tell you that signal interference can cause all kinds of random issues. I'm surprised that the vendor of this Android Unit didn't point out to not place the GPS receiver too close to existing components.

What about OP's stored code though, isn't that still related to their tune?

Possibly, unless the GPS receiver interfered with the ECU etc. as well.

So that code does have to do with the tune hopefully they figure it out, what is the tuning company?

In my opinion, one of the noblest things a human being can do is share information.
so, heres more information !


the cell phone in that area was also causing my Dynamic Select resetting
putting the phone in the door, my Dynamic Select never reset again.

That is some strange interference since I always put my phone in the cup holder and never have issues. That looks like a Oneplus phone (the never settle was their slogan), they were once a big hit in Canada and now there are too many options (talking about Canada specifically).

How come it still says never settle? Did you just transferred the settings over from oneplus hence why it shows that? They used to market all over the place here in Canada, looks like this, never seen the company ever again in the recent years: https://images.fonearena.com/blog/wp...ver-Settle.jpg

So you tried 5G and it still interferes with it?

Ah you like modding your phone, gotcha, that might explain it if you used a oneplus rom or something.

Sounds good hopefully 5G solves your issue.
