Finding Adaptive Brake Lights in Launch Menu
In Xentry, one finds adaptive brake lights as follows:
Under Rear SAM:
Blinkendes Bremslicht
Warnblinken nach Notbremsung
Both set to nicht zugelassen which should be set to zugelassen to enable.
But in Launch, I don't see those menu choices under variant coding. Can anyone with Launch help me find them?

Apparently Rear SAM menu is different in W212. I am told that the menu item is PRL_EB_Enabled_b. This value needs to be changed from nicht freigegeben to freigegeben.

I know it's under Function Release under Variant Coding. The problem is that many of the people who know this stuff cold are working with the German nomenclature whereas most everything in the Launch menu system is either English or some sort of abbreviation. Still looking to see what correlates to what.

The countless options all around these screens are overwhelming. It's nice is some ways for exposing so many fields but it sucks how screen keeps jumping back to the top without an index number to jump back to.
By the time you find a nice nugget it's even difficult to know where, how or what we got... DANKE!
What does the "adaptive brake light" do??

I think they flash like a strobe light while first being applied. It'll wake up the guy behind you.
Pretty sure our cars would have conniptions if we tried to rewire the lights.
Blinkendes Bremslicht translates to flashing brake light.

I'm not finding anything remotely like "Blinkenfukinstoppenlampen" under Rear SAM on either of my cars. Could it just be the E-Class?

Or a narrow stip of masking tape and a marker to make a new label to put on the screen.

After watching the video, I understand that the Blinkenfukinstoppenlampen only works in emergency stopping and not when normally applying the brakes (unless normal is always emergency stopping for you). Is that correct?

Generally, I do this manually by pumping the brakes irregularly when, for example, approaching a traffic jam ahead. That is, if I actually can SEE it. It is annoying that driving a car these days, it's hard to see over the #$%$% SUV's and trucks!

It would be nice to know if this actually works. The only SAFE way to test this would be on a very lonely road with an observer FAR behind you and preferably on handsfree phone communicating. Maybe it could be done with a parked observer with binocs.

ITem 35 had a different name but maybe similar under a different Item number nearby.
I Did not do it as I just did ECO one and figured 1 per day.
I did email company I bought it from on Amazon; was not LAUNCH but Ediag
and they replied and suggested in email that ILS was a simple coding task if ya got the parts...
