I have a 2011 USDM and I was able to add passive perimeter lines to my rear camera view that are off by default. I turned it on and the lines don't line up with the car but I thought I should share this with you:

On my 2014 GL63, I found a menu line item "ABC" which added a screen to my "system" menu that shows G forces in an F1 style circle along with ride hight at every corner when the car is raised. Pretty useless, but fun to play with. I was also able to change the COMAND clock face. GL has 3 options for that.

I thought to share this with fellow 2013+ MY owners since different models may include the said items in the engineering menus that I found in the GL.

Needless to say, don't blame me if you mess up your settings irreversibly.

Here's the GL 63 teaser post:

Can you pm me how u accessed this menu?

Hold the three buttons at the same time:

"hang up" + # + 1

...for ~10 seconds

Anyone confirm if this works? Too bad it won't work on the older pre-FL cars

Interesting. Anyone try this with any success? I've got a 2012 MY P31. Wondering if this is legit or not.

yes, you get into the service menu that way. On my 14 C63 it is quite extensive - 7 pages or so. I enabled Gracenotes that way. Many of the settings are somewhat cryptic without description.

At what screen should you be on prior to initiating? Key position matter?

Wasn't enough info on any prerequisites prior to pressing keys... I tried it, it didn't work. MY2013

Razzy

Any info on what is in the "secret" menu? I'm curious because I want to know if it is even worth it.

Sidv22

I always feel the backup camera is useless without the guidance lines. any way to enable that?

Wobble64

To answer a question higher up: apparently the 3 key combination needs to be pressed when the ignition is in position 1 (accessories on).

cyberorth

Comand needs to be on. I made the assumption that getting into the secret menu is a well known task given that it has been discussed before rather extensively.

cyberorth

In mine the lines are more confusing than helpful given they are not designed for the c.

On my '13 C63 Coupe (Au release) it gets into an "Engineering mode, Page 1 of 2" which shows some HU options/diagnostics, but I couldn't see how to get to page 2 before it powered down (went out of acc mode).
I may play more tomorrow.

cyberorth

Move the circle knob down when at the bottom of screen to go to next screen.

This is off a 2013 ml but most applies to any model.

Now this is a great post! Thanks....can we use it to have the AMG logo start up on the command as opposed to MB Star?

yesh

press 2.

I clicked ABC mode 231 and USA but theres no extra screen thats added on my menu screen?

Giedreb

It shows up by under the system->clock menu, select the clock menu and then click down on the command controller to go into that mode where you can scroll left and right for additional views - if this was selected correctly in the HU params, there should now be a new option to choose this instead of the clock display.

Got it thanks

Mr Jones

Cyberorth, Which setting on that PDF list was it that allowed you to add passive perimeter lines to the rear camera view please.

Razzy

Haven't done this yet but how exactly do I bring up the extra car info on to the screen like G's, load etc.

Overspooled

Was playing around with this over night, didn't find anything useful... can someone explain more clearly how to enable the rear-view camera lines and the G's screen? I got to see the 3 different analog clocks available but they would not change when I would close and open the system.

Razzy

A thorough explanation would be nice. As of now it seemed a bit useless. I only have 2 clocks available and changed that and added the offroad setting as well as internet. Which gives me a globe icon on right side. Is there a way I can reset it? I tried going reset settings but the new clock and offroad menu are still there
