I wonder if it could be done with another OBD2 scanner such as FOXWELL NT710 for instance.

if that unit does variant coding, then probably, yes.

I will get my hands on FOXWELL NT710 later this week and will see what it can do probably at the beginning of the next week. Will update you on the results.

Been following this thread, seems like huge hassle. I'm not a computer geek, so it's all Greek to me. I opted to contact Vladimir and purchased the code from him. 2 minutes later I have ils active. Worth every penny.

It's not that complicated not like writing software code from scratch., just turning settings in a few different places from off to on.
The confusing bit is you have to do each module one at a time, one item at a time, so it's a bit tedious, and seems like twice the work it actually is.

I'd have done the vladimir thing but I don't have an ebay account, don't do crypto, and shipping was bonkers.

ANyone have info I can send them to help them fix their software so it will save these 2 variants.

I even told them to go find a W212 with LED lights and try it themselves.
Explained how China has their own version of this ILS..
SO CLOSE to this working yet so far away.

that's annoying, sounds like they just copied the variant coding software but didn't/couldn't check all of the functions.
For what it's worth I used the submit feedback function in the creader to report the issue. It still shows "in progress" after a month and a half

I still have our email conversation going and my guess is they need a Car to plug into to see what is not happening.
The customer service rep I am communicating with is being very helpful it is just out of her hands and up to their programmers.

But I do think something is getting lost in translation but I keep at it... as emails are cheap.

I think there is one step missing

I could pay someone to code my car but what is the fun in that?
plus I figure this code reader is pretty powerful and may add modules for the other makes our fleet...

For those that have done this, how do you know you have ILS activated?

NOPE.

Think the finally blew me off and my badgering.
Did anyone else complain to them about this issue?

I Truly think they do not have enough programmers based on all the various makes and model crs they are making tis thing work for ... and as they say the SQUEEKY WHEEL gets the attention.

send them an email.
