Go to eBay - check OBD Mercedes Eco start off - order the plug in module from Vladimir - works great - plug-in - does it thing - then unplugs..

^ Thanks - I ordered one - should be here today - Do you think there will be any issues since it is a lease? Can I undo it when I bring it in for service? Or do i even need to bother?

Takehold

*Update - Just installed mine - took about 1 minute - Turn ignition on then insert unit into OBD port - you will see something show on the nav screen and then after about 30 seconds or so, the screen goes back to whatever you had it set to and the Eco light is now off! Then unplug the unit and it's done. I then turned off the car and restarted it and the light stayed off. I then pressed the button to turn light back on and then shut off car and then restarted car again and light was on - SO, it remembers your last setting thus no reason to ever reinsert the unit or worry about anything. I got mine from this guy on Ebay for $114 plus $10 shipping - ordered sunday and he shipped monday and I got it today(wed). I am happy with my decision. Hope this helps someone who does not like this feature.

Glad you like it. Some of the best money I've spent. So much better now not having to think about it.

Courtesy of the very/very bright folds from Belarus - I wish Vladimir could develop a pug-n-play Profile default selector as well... the world would be a better place !

Thanks for suggesting this device in the first place! And for the advice in various other threads.

My simple solution was to just go into Individual settings and SET the on/off switch to off. You then will need to just go to Individual mode with 2 clicks up on toggle when you take off since the car defaults back to Comfort with on/off set. I use my GLC 300 as a daily driver so I have the Indiv mode set to sport steering and comfort along with the OFF auto switch. Kills 3 birds with one stone.
I have a 2017 selenite grey which I purchased brand new and it has been bulletproof for over 10,000 miles. Love the sport steering option. BTW, get 30+ mpg in city while in Comfort mode but still get a nice peppy
response. That little 4 cyl engine is awesome.

I think you meant to say "Three Clicks" up - from Comofrt - 1 Up is Sport - 2nd up is Sport+, that 3rd Up is Indiv.... all to the good... for a lot of folks the OBD module is the Cat's Meow... cheap..

You then unplug the unit? Can it be resold and used again?

Takehold

Yes, I unplugged it and put it back in the box. It now remembers my last setting and I never have to touch a button. According to the seller, it only works with the VIN of the first car it was installed on and will not work on another car. Not sure if that is true, or just them saying that to protect themselves from people selling it to others. Hope that helps.

Interesting. Makes sense that it could work that way.

Yes - the Vladimir module works ONLY with the specific MB it was 1st used in - if you want to change another MB you need to buy a 2nd OBD module to use in that next MB..
