Arrow TURN OFF ECO START/STOP ON MERCEDES PERMANENTLY | NO OBD NEEDED EASY!

Here's a quick video from my YouTube channel on how to turn off ECO Start/Stop permanently!

Works for E class, C class W213 and more! Cheers!

Is this a joke? With all due respect, your video shows how to set the start/stop config for "individual" dynamic mode. If you turn the car off, the next time you start it the default dynamic mode of "Comfort" is what is selected. This solution isn't permanent at all.

It worked for me and I have friends that it worked for, over 6 months now once I clicked off and it has not appeared no matter what mode I put it in Comfort, sport or Sport Plus!

Now you may have to set it for each setting but I didn't have to, some software are different depending on the model or year!

Have you tried that? Please contact me on my channel and let's troubleshoot this!🙂

Simply going to your Mercedes and following the steps from this video would reveal that this doesn't work permanently. Massimo, perhaps your Mercedes wasn't handy so that you could check for yourself. In any event, there are more than a few aftermarket options available to purchase which allow this functionality. I purchased mine the day I purchased my W213 from Mid City Engineering and have never looked back.

Hi,
Most people find videos easier! When you get off work then you can look at it or you could always go to the bathroom and look at it!😉

On certain W213 (perhaps those with mbux for facelift) there is also an option to enable asking for last drive mode on next ignition but you have to press ok when you start the vehicle next time and each time.

I don't have Mbux on this car! It just worked for me the first time never had to go back and turn it off again same with my friends!

Now one of my friends it didn't show up at all- he got a software update at Mercedes, it showed and he turned it off and same with mine it never appeared again no matter what driving mode selected! 🙂

That I know, you have the pre-facelift, I was only talking about facelift.
