Service Reset
I have looked at the DIY video here and found many more on YouTube for W206. However, none of them have worked on my car. Is there a trick to it that I am not aware of?

I posted a reset procedure for my '19 W463A at https://mbworld.org/forums/g-class-w...tor-reset.html
Yours might be a bit different but mine might help get you into the menu where you need to go.

W205C43PFL I have been attempting this reset numerous times since December when I had the Dealer change my oil. It is safe to say at this point that these instructions are not universal.

Why didn't the mechanic who did the oil change do the reset?
Even if not a DIY'er, and OBD scanner IMO is a handy tool to have, especially when the CEL illuminates and leaves you wondering about the severity of the cause.

I took it to the dealership for the oil change, but since I did not have them do "Service A" they would not reset. I drive 2-3k miles per year, so I follow a different maintenance schedule. I will be staring at this message a lot over the years unless I find a solution!

What was the dealer's charge for a basic oil change versus the deluxe A Service oil change?

Another $250 or so for:
Fluid level checks and corrections - I do this as needed
Tire inflation check and correction- I do my own based on ride, I am very picky about this. Shops usually pump them with 35 psi all around and I end up by correcting it
Brake component inspection- at 2k miles?, nah
Reset maintenance counter-you know the story

I just had service B done at the dealer and it ended up being $500 - $200 for parts $300 for labor. Without the mailer coupon I used, it would have been $560. I definitely felt extorted but realize it's the price of ownership and a lot of mom and pop shops aren't too familiar with the W206 yet. Also, MB has really locked down on its workshop ecosystem making it harder and harder for shops that don't want to pay MB for certification.
Definitely will do service A 3rd party again.

I agree with your DIY on the inspections and fluid level checks. These should be within the capability of every car owner. While I DIY my complete A and B service checklist, I appreciate that not everyone has the time and facilities to do them.
I have an oil change due in about 10 weeks, and will followup on how the Launch OBD scanner works on the service reset.
