market price was $3xx EQS W223 for almost 6 month in 2023

 

Bring back that kind of pricing.

 

Oops - double post

 

Check our price in our website. It will be dropped or no more available.

 

Price seems unchanged for EQS models. Are you saying you will no longer be providing this service?

 

True, if Mercedes close the door fully then no one can do.

 

Price now

 

For EQS models, the price has not changed from what it was over the last couple of weeks, but it is lower than it was a month ago. The price is almost attractive, when compared to all the time it would take to figure out how to do it myself.

...and I did take that time on my last car, and in turn, led a lot of people into being able to do it themselves for the price of a very cheap laptop plus $75.

You are great, You really very good at DIY. But coding Price is really dropped a lot.

 

Nice work. As your rennlist post states though, it requires time and patience but also the chance to mess something up. Definitely not my bucket of tea. I *think* the Mercedes software to code might be much harder to access.

 

So, is the EQS coding now available after it was stopped last year (before you could work out the issue you had with my upgrade)? If you could contact me again to have another try at finishing the "comfort doors" functionality, that would be really great. If EQS coding still not available, please let us know here, thanks.

Thank you Gary, whatsapp me pls: https://wa.me/6597335000

 

Two quick questions:
- If we have something coded by you, and the dealer updates the car with a complete set of coding, which overwrites your work, what do we do? I'm especially concerned regarding the ILS+ activation coding.
- This "comfort close" work with Gary, is that also known as "soft close doors" where the car will pull the door in for the last inch or so to fully close it? If so, please let me know if that can be coded on a MY2023 EQS 580 SUV. That's probably my wife's biggest gripe. Her last car had it, and she misses it on her Benzo. Or is this coding for the full "Comfort Door" package (US $2,600)

 

1: For all coding done by us: We have life time free recode service. For ILS+ in W223, this free re-code service is valid too, but limited to availability, if this current coding solution is suspended, then you might need to wait for it is available again.


Another S500 USA Done today. Cheers!

2: Comfort door (SA67B, SA68B) means auto door, not soft close (SA883), we just get this Comfort door done for him like photo and video below:





Gary is from ECE region so their car has SoftClose from factory but Comfort door disabled by factory.

 

Okay, so I was going to reply to this thread from my PC tomorrow when I have time but since you have questions, I’ll try via my phone. Escuse my brevity and typing mistakes; any further clarifications needed, reply back.
So, soft close doors are not comfort doors. The last cm or so is the soft close where it just pulls the door that last little bit to make the seal. Comfort doors are where you can control the complete opening and closing of any of the doors.
i have all of the prerequisites for the comfort doors but in my market (Portugal), Mercedes have chosen to disable them 🤷🏻‍♂️ I’ve argued extensively with both my dealer and Mercedes Germany over this but they just provide pleasantries (not even a free cap!) in return.
Anyway, Elebest, after many hours of work / late nights and using my car as the test prototype, has done it!!! I’m really happy with the result and the car now works as it was designed to at the factory, no thanks to… … anyway, I shouldn’t digress…
So, I now have the following:
Each door can be fully opened or closed from the menu in the MBUX. Any door can be closed individually (once the passenger(s) are in) or, by a “close all” button.
When I get in the drivers seat and touch the brake pedal, the door automatically closes.
When I long press the unlock button on the key, the drivers door will open. Imagine being at one end of a car park and it’s raining - run to the car with the button, by the time you get there, doors already open! And then closes automatically too!
There a couple of other neat things but I’ve covered the main points.
So, now that the research and toil has already been done, I’m sure Elebest will be able to code it pretty quickly for others. I sent him videos of the operations after coding and I’m sure he can provide them, together with the pricing on request. I had contacted a number of coders around the world who were unable to provide this service so I’m fairly sure he’s your best bet for this. Note that I paid full price so I’m not advertising for him, just a (very) happy customer.
To your other question. Yes, if Mercedes have any need to overwrite a bunch of core code in the car, there is a risk to losing the mods. However, he has taken a backup of the necessary modules (and of course now knows how to do it!) so it can be re-dialed in very quickly. Again, I don’t know how much this will cost and I leave you to discuss directly with him.
For me, this “project” has been a great learning experience and I hope others benefit from it if they believe it’s worth it for them.

Gary (EQS 2022, 580 4matic).

 

Looks like Elebest was typing the same time as me - feel free to ask me any follow up questions if needed.

 

@gxprice and @EleBest - thank you both for your replies. My wife is now quite jealous.

Maybe we'll get a future EQS/S-class with this feature as comfort door appears to be available in the US, now.. With our big (Great Dane and Borzoi) dogs, this feature would be very nice.

 

Sorry - one more question: why is there an $8.07 shipping charge for coding?

 

Elebest corrected that - no shipping charges.

 

What cable is required? I assume you want a Windows laptop or can you use a Mac laptop? Do you have software that needs to be installed on the laptop? It would be helpful to know this as I probably need to get the equipment required for remote coding.

 

enet cable ($10-$20 from ebay)+ windows laptop + TeamViewer

Thanks.

 

Based on what I'm working through currently (hoping to get coded in the next day or two), I believe it would be:
- Windows 10 laptop with decent RAM (8GB plus) and CPU/disk speed (Windows 11 would be fine)
- 100Mbps Internet connection, as measured at your laptop
- 2 Ethernet adapters (Ethernet to car, ethernet to Internet). I think he wants to avoid using WiFi to the Internet.
- TeamViewer will be used on your laptop
- And an Ethernet to OBD2 cable. I am going to test out this one, as my old one was shot.

 

What protocols does the enet cable need to support? ECOM, ICOM, INPA, ISTA or something else? What version of Windows is okay?

 

Coding worked fine with this config.

Active Matrix heads are, uh, active. In the picture below, note the light pattern. The right side is "high", then the sharp drop off in the middle, and my high beams are not blinding the driver on the left. You can't really tell from the picture, but there is a "box of darkness" around the other car being made by my headlights, and the high beams are lighting up everything else. That's the beauty of these lights. My high beams stay on without blinding oncoming traffic, nor blinding anyone that I'm following.

 

This might be an issue. My Windows laptop is slow as molasses in January. It was a top of the line HP unit that supposedly met all Windows requirements, but it has always been a dog. My Macs run circles around it before it finishes booting. I might try running Windows in a virtual machine on my Mac, that will certainly be faster. Does your system support Windows for Arm?
