I'll chime in here with another positive vote for RJ Automotive. Great job with the up-front communications to get set up + the appointment. 15 minutes and all done.
Great packaging with the dongle and app on their end, no hassles, no problems.
Who'd have thought just a few years back you could have someone in the UK update features on your car while you're sitting in Boston drinking the morning coffee?
I know, right? I've been modding my cars for many years and I never imagined I'd be adding features to my car through the internet. Not only no dirty hands, no hands! lol
2017 AMG C 43 (W205); 2019 E 300 (W213); 2008 ML 320 CDI (W164)
Two years ago we bought a 2019 E300 W213 (silver US vehicle) with MULTIBEAM LED head lamps. Silly question - what is the most practical and simplest way to positively tell whether or not the Intelligent Light System is already activated?
I know this Forum is for the W213 models, but someone might know the system on the W205 also. I have the same question for the 2017 C43 W205 (red US vehicle) with LED INTELLIGENT LIGHT SYSTEM headlamps. How different are the 2 systems?

Any repercussions on the factory warranty for enabling this or the turning off the auto start/stop? Worried about getting the factory warranty voided or any extended warranty after that.

The dealer would have to say that whatever problem you are having that requires warranty work is the result of your coding. I read somewhere that when they detect any coding the car is placed 'on the list'. The real issue to me and why I have not sought any coding, is that I do not want to be at the mercy of the dealer. How are you going to fight them if they say you are not covered? Right or wrong they hold all the cards.

I activated ILS on my 2017 W213 Sedan and my 2018 S213 Wagon. Both vehicles were CPO with M-B extended warranty. Not a peep from my dealer, ever - even when the car visited the shop for software updates.
