GREAT programming!!

This is great find: THANK YOU!


This a perfectly written research and instruction guide. This enhancement is a must-have

The module is PTG (not PTS).
I recoded both #1 + #4

+++++
One problem.... now when I use keyfob to open my trunk, it recloses automatically up+down right away.

This has to do with #1 option.
Its like the keyfob trunk-buton is now a "close trunk".
I am going to back track on #1 "inactive" until further testing.

you'll need to poke around a little
​​​​​​Mercedes likes to shuffle things frequently.
Be sure to dave a backup copy of settings in case parameters don't go smoothly with possible corruption (unlikely but possible and expensive).

TRIALS 'N ERRORS....

Unfortunately nope, I back tracked because I try to keep my modules in mint-condition to rework with unstable networking issues.

I want to limit additional variables to suspect screwing things up.

Tweaking programmable firmware is awesome but proceed with caution. Go ahead do more poking and testing, there's more room for improvements.

Does not work on my 2015 SL400. My PTS module is the parking (Parktronic) module. I tried to find the controls somewhere else, such as the rear SAM and could not.

Thank you for the quick reply.
I will send you the exact screen with my modification once I return to my house in the evening. (Currently living in South Korea)
This really gives me headache, and hope it will get recovered.

I have another question.
I did perform backup before writing codes, not the above one but other codes, few days ago.
Is there a way to recover the previous state to where I performed last backup before coding?
I dont know what it means 'backup' before writing code. (Whether it is just for that particular menu or whole coding itself)
Thank you so much.

I think the "backup" scope is limited to the data on the current screen, excluding any data outside.

What backup you don't have, you can not restore

I see. When the device is power off, the backup is gone right?
