To get into the menu i spoke about:

you have to have trip details on the left of your screen for it to work.

hold both home & select button on left side of steering wheel

when the menu appears on top of the screen, let go of select button, then presse again.

you now get the "workshop" menu

pics attached

Hi Egonvdv, I'm new here, and I want to know if you already solve the problem (activation of the engineering mode) using the "workshop" menu?
I can reach this workshop menu too, but I'm not able to activate the engineering mode by pressing 10sec. any bottom (I speak french too).
Thank you.

only the dealer can do it, if they know how to… and if they are willing
as posted above, my dealer doesn't even know about the menu (or they pretend not to know)

The engineering menu must be enabled using MB proprietary diagnostic hardware/software. In the US that ability is restricted to the regional level and above. Dealers cannot do it.

Same here (NL), it can only be done via national distributor, but they are not very willing in this respect.

This worked on my GLB250 2020. But Vehicle Functions is empty just like its in the video. Any idea why? This seems like dealer menu and not engineering menu.

An engineering activation item is shown on the dealer menu, but it is most likely security protected.

Yep, you need a passcode to unlock, dealer does not have it.

Great. Does your Android Phone needs to be rooted to be able to use it or not?

I have the C238 car with NTG5.5 from USA market. Tapping of controller during 10 sec in "Settings" icon not works. But works tapping during 10 sec in "Car" icon.
And I found out in "GPNSS Antenna test" the big list of available navigation systems. But in UA are visible only GPS and russian Glonass
