Anyone else do coding with an X431 unit? I've managed to disable stop/start and changed the number of one touch signals from 3 to 5. Wondering what else can be done. I'd really like to have the default drive mode be sport instead of economy, as well as code flashing brake lights during hard braking, for example.

 

You can turn off the seatbelt reminder
stop the front seats from going upright when the back seat gets folded down (sedan)
On my W211 I was able to set the fog lights to stay on when the high beams are on; don't recall if I was able to do that to my W212 sedan or not...

 

If you want that done, you will need to have it programmed. You can make some configuration changes with LAUNCH X431, but other changes need to be done with programming. I recommend you contact @BenzNinja for programming changes. I had him reprogram my transmission to add Sport+ (a.k.a., Agility), last setting keep, and throttle tweak, and it has been amazing.

Be careful exploring with LAUNCH as you can reset some modules and require reinitialization, often requiring other actions. Initializing/calibrating radar for Distronic+ is one such function.

 

Yeah, I think I'm done exploring on my own. I almost messed something up on my bmw, so I decided to give up on that one.

 

I thought BenzNinja or one of the other programmers previously acknowledged that Agility doesn't actually do anything useful and refunded those who had it programmed? What does it do for you and what model did you enable it on?

 

really no idea of where you found that nonsense
on tiktok?




on older models:

 

• Disabled me connect (kept getting an annoying message, not being connected)
• Start/ stop disabled
• Five-turn signals
• Seatbelt warning, disabled
• Command startup volume
• Unlock and lock number of horn beeps
• Drls 100% brightness during the day, 70% brightness during the night
• Close the power tailgate with the key fob
• Auto-close the power tailgate with the door switch

Audible sound in reverse

It’s a lot of trial and error, and it depends on what your car is equipped with. I pretty much go through every module in variant coding and to see what can be turned on you might have issues, but it’s highly recommended to Back Up Code

 

Audible sound in reverse sounds interesting, what is that, basically the sound similar to a truck reversing?

 

No sound is being played outside the car; only sound is from the dash to remind you that you’re still in reverse.

 

beeping in reverse gear.... is to train ADD ppl to check the dashboard !

 

Can you pls add LINKS to your post or copy of it since EDITS are disabled ??

I've tried tempering with my "ECO last "and "trunk keyfob closing" without success last time.
SAT Pm will have time to revisit


Thank you for organizing this research knowledge in addition to what JR started documenting.

 

That's NOT true, at least for my 2015 SL400. It made a HUGE difference in drivability. For my car, Agility = Sport+.

 

How do I do that?

 

Thanks! Would love to know how you did these two:

• Close the power tailgate with the key fob
• Auto-close the power tailgate with the door switch

I can post how I did the other two that I did later when I can get to my computer.

Was there another thread going that had this info?

 

Maybe it wasn't you, perhaps it was Chris the swede or one other programmer. However, your insulting attitude has ensured I will never use your services. I've been on this site for 20 years. I'm an adult, I have never used tik tok, just like I will never use your "services". Get bent.

Edit: Oh look, this is where I remembered it from, my own previous research. So yes, you're a scammer who pays money to this site to ensure all critical information is deleted. Now I remember why I ignore you: https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w...-services.html . I will reiterate, get bent. Go cry to the mods.

How to Close Trunk With Remote on s212

• System Selection
• PTG - Power Tail gate
• Always backup before changing code
• Variant Coding
• Always backup before changing code
• Scroll to
• Control Switch_1_vc
• PLZ Always backup before changing code
• No. 001 Switch Remote Key Closing
• Change to Active
• Select ‘Write Coding’ and follow the prompt instructions.

Bouns:I’m not a fan of holding the trunk close switch on the door, so I changed mine to auto close

• Variant Coding
• Scroll to
• Control Switch_1_vc
• No. 004 Switch Automatic Closing via Door switch
• Change to Active
• Select ‘Write Coding’ and follow the prompt instructions.

Don't forget to backup you code!!! Thats your fail save if something stops working!!!!

 

Thank you so much! Will try this out.

 

Hey, after revisiting CGW, you might need to activate No. 042 code 890 (remote lift gate closing).

 

Thanks for pointing this out
In CGW No42 code 890 was already activated

This creates an issue where the keyfob trunk button work great to close nut can no longer open. No ready for prime time...
