While this would be very welcome, we kid ourselves if we think Mercedes will simply flip a switch in our existing cars when or if this comes to fruition in the US. They will however, be VERY happy to sell us a new car.

 

Rod, 100 pct agreed

 

Actually, the Euro version of the headlights would be needed. There are hardware differences. There is at least one report of a successful conversion, for $12,000.

$12K???? No thanks. My Intelligent lights are better than any I've had in any car as they are. There's no frigging way I'd invest that type of money in a retrofit.

 

Hey buddy, as you replace a hardware to achieve this, how do you think about they activate code 628 ILS+ in this post?

Hello

this may be interested to US/CA mb owners who have 213/238/257/205/205FL/253/253FL/166/292 MY2016+ cars with SA640+SA608 datacard codes (limited headlamps operation = IHC)

I tested the "true Multibeam = IHC plus" activation at MY2016+ cars with SA640 headlamps and SA608 datacard code
after activation full led 640 headlamps will work exactly as EU/US SA642+628
activation takes about 1 minute and you can revert it back with the same module in 1 minute (and also activate again as many times as you need when you aware of warranty issues)
this is the video how the activation works

this is daimler video of all functions you will get after activation:

tuneOBD box can be mailed no problem, not necessary to go to dealer
when interested then contact me with your car VIN number to my email: canfiltermb@gmail.com

I think W213 is tested in my car and you told me it is working. or are you talking about something else?

 

are you sure that you have w213MOPF = facelift model 2020+ ?

 

no mine is 2017. sorry

 

If it costs MB another penny per vehicle they’ll never do it. MB is fast becoming the GM of Europe. IMO the current version of the E class
(W213) may have more gadgets than its predecessor but the W212 was a better built car and a 6 cylinder engine was standard and was perhaps the best engine MB ever built. Now if you want horsepower out of a Benz they have to hang a blower on it. Welcome to progress.

Has anyone access to the document mentioned in this post?

https://*******.com/Thread-Adaptive-...860#pid1332860

(EDIT: sorry, the website must be verboten to mention, as when I type the name it, I get the *******)

"This document details the official way to do it: Retrofit Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus (AN82.10-P-0011EW)"

 

the "AN82.10-P-0011EW" starts with "Add the SA628 code to your datacard" and this is for sure not possible to US/CA cars

 

Hi. For 2021 E450, will the standard lights update to the euro adaptive, or do you need to get the upgraded exterior lighting package? Thanks!

 

Just put a space between each letter so that the site is identifiable. Anyone who wishes to go there can remove the spaces.

 

Hi, just saw this thread. Would you mind educating me on the difference between the european vs us intelligent lighting...what do u mean by full? Thanks

 

Hi, can you educate me on this subject...what is full intelligent lighting and i assume we dont have it here in the us....how does it differ?

 

 

I can vouch for Vladimir's update and the value of the full intelligent headlight system. I live in the Texas Hill Country, where the roads are dark, bendy, and full of deer. These full function headlights are really worth it here. Now if MB would only add the infra red camera system.....

 

ups

 

IIRC Mercedes used to offer the Night View Assist Plus package but for some reason eliminated it from the E class & GLE class models. It is still available on the S class and similar models.

Received my module today and attempted the install per the video instructions. Did anyone else get this message ? I've emailed Vladimir, and I'll post his response when I get this sorted out. Looking forward to getting this working.

 

yes that is step one. Backup factory settings before the upgrade. You should have received written steps from Vladimir. They’re a little difficult to follow but generally sufficient.
