Eco Off Bypass Module

Just ordered this and was wondering if anyone had prior experience with this Plug & Play module that turns the Eco Button off at start up.

thanks for for the advice.

I had the bypass module (link on 1st post) installed today and it works as it should so far. At start up the green Eco button light blinks twice and automatically turns off.

You paid $189 plus installation ($100-200???) so you wouldn't have to move your hand 12 inches lower from the ignition and press a button? Your hand has to be down there to shift into gear anyway. Whatever, ain't my money - glad you like it.

What you said is exactly correct and makes sense however I also bought a vehicle that costs over $100K and gets 10 miles per gallon so common sense is not really the issue. It's entertainment otherwise I would have bought a Prius.

I was just ribbing you. I've had 3 G63s and have a G550 4x4 coming any day and I'll agree, anything but sport mode is lame.
