Hello all, I’m hoping someone here can point me in the right direction or maybe @ the member/coder that can code my W214 E350. I’m mainly looking to get the ILS ACTIVATION IN USA, along with some other minor coding option like turn signal blinks from 3 to 5. Thank you all for any assistance.

I have had it done on my W213 & W238 by this company in the UK. RJAutomotive Mercedes Benz Retrofit, Coding & Diagnostics Specialists — RJAutomotive - Mercedes Benz Specialists

Unfortunately they are not currently doing it for the W214. Having had it done on my 2 other cars, I certainly want it done on my W214. The company is based in the UK and all was done remotely.

I've seen the ads for BenzNinja and have always wondered if they are any good. Some of the ads are strange.

I have been using BenzNinja systems from the very beginning and Peter is an absolute 10/10 recommendation. Reach out to him - he is a member of the forums and his support for MB is incredible.

Well I’ve tried Benz ninja, and he shut me down an ghosted my 2 emails inquiring about joining an becoming a member when I explained to him that I used RJ automotive for my (22) X167. For same feature I want.. an he said “quote” maybe it’s best you stay with RJ.. and when I replied to him and followed up with another email inquiring I still like to become a member.. he ignored both emails even though he was actively on forums that same day and next 2 days.. so I know he got the emails. But it’s his business he can deny anyone he doesn’t want to do business with.. just weird cause I wasn’t nasty or disrespectful or anything in my emails to Benz.. so it wasn’t my conduct that solicited the ignoring of emails.. but like Benz said.. I’ll just stick with @rjautomotive i know his work & replies to me very promptly.. RJ W214 coding for what I need is not available at the moment as to why I was looking out for coders but RJ did get in touch with me an it should be avail shortly. So I’ll wait for RJ. Thank you all.

Vendors often shun someone who was using their competition. I've run into that attitude with a few retail storefront businesses.

PhillyFisherman

very weird business practice.. then how would we know as a consumer who has a better service.. and if your service is indeed better you can easily win over the competitors customers.. but shunning just hurts your business. Not the consumer… weird weird weird. Anyway.. like I said. That’s his business to run however he wants to run it. RJ is more than capable, just I’ll have to wait for him.. I was hoping to get it done asap that’s why the thread.. but now I don’t mind waiting for @rjautomotive i know he’s good.

Some people find it hard to say “I don’t know how to do it”… the reality is that anyway for your car only RJ and Elebest know how to code it, period, I haven’t seen anyone else with proven experience with MBUX other than them. So in all cases you are working with the right person now and should be safe from any shady practices with RJ.
