Eco Start/Stop Setting Missing in Dynamic Settings
So, I discovered something interesting on the new 2020 GLC300's. The "individual" dynamic driving mode setting that you can customize has no option for enabling or disabling the eco start/stop feature. I believe this capability existed in previous model years where toggling the vehicle dynamics to "Individual" would recall whether you wanted the Eco Start/Stop to be enabled or disabled. Now, if you want to recall your individual vehicle settings for steering and shifting, you also need to press the Eco Start/Stop button to disable that. Maybe I'm wrong and just missing where this is configured?
I also noticed that some of the MBUX themes actually change the vehicle from Comfort to Eco and Sport modes and also disable the Eco Start/Stop or re-enable it. I was hoping I may be able to get around pressing the eco start/stop button by using themes, but it seems that custom themes can only be configured with ambient lighting and radio presets. I was hoping for more customization - maybe with an update.

There is a setting to allow you to recall the last mode use, which will set Start/Stop as per the last use. The catch - you will get a display on screen to TAP on the message - without tapping it will go back to Comfort. The annoying part is that you have to tap the screen - all other input methods don't work - Voice or both of the touch pads - great work Mercedes 
On top of that the message stays on the screen for about 5-10 sec. - very easy to miss !!!

I discovered that if you leave your A/C on the eco mode will not activate. The reason I believe is when you come to a stop you still want the A/C to work.Try it and see if works for you.

bumping this thread. just tried the launch programmer on my glk350 x204 and can confirm that the last memory function does not exist. Prior to this, I tried the mid-city engineering module and it also doesn't work.
I believe it is engine specific. In any event, I disabled eco mode permanently
