Highly recommend Elebest for vehicle coding. Nicest and most honest man on the planet
I second that. He is helping me with something that no other coder out there would be willing to do.

If you follow his YouTube channel, he is capable of doing a lot of upgrades.

Hi Bro

Any news from RJM? I don't understand what they mean by training! And it's taking all this time! As I said, RJM isn't providing an honest answer, simply because they still haven't gotten the license to code MBUX2.

I spoke to RJA again yesterday and nothing has changed. However, they gave me the MB email address and I have contacted them asking about the delay. It would be helpful if as many of us as possible could contact MB and lobby them.

Interesting that you can enable Maybach mode yet still keep the C-Class image given how Maybach mode is exclusive to GLS and S-Class Maybach, unless it is simply a second layer in the software the layer 1 is the car?

Seems like MB might be a little too busy with the development of digital extras lately.

NTG7.0 (MBUX 2nd Gen) aka HU7 is used in all 206(C) 254(GLC) 223(S) 297(EQS Sedan) 296(EQS SUV) 295(EQE Sedan) 294(EQE SUV) 232(SL) 236(CLE), they share same software.

NTG8.0 (MBUX 3.0) aka CIVIC206 is used in 214(E), 2025-now 206(C), 2025-now 254(GLC) etc. Share same software.

My customer called back: “Max I really enjoy the the Maybach mode, super smooth and my family just love it so much”.

Gotcha so basically the software has it just that they hid it from view, for example, the software running on the W206 contains the images and bitmap (?) file from the S-Class and other vehicles running NTG 7, just that well, it is hidden as it doesn't apply to the W206?

Amazed at your coding/programming. Thanks for the update.

Yes. Sort of, but we dont have direct information of that, Can only do such try and error and test, then find out something new little by little.

You mean the coding or the system itself, if the coding, not yet although it is a very similar system to MBUX 2.0 so not sure why it wasn't compatible (the coding) with MBUX 2.0. If you meant the system, the 2025+ (and including) model year W206 and X254 has it from factory, MBUX 2.0 cannot be upgraded to MBUX 3.0, new hardware might be needed but you did mention you have a 2025 so you should have MBUX 3.0 already. As you know, MBUX 3.0 first appeared on the W214 E-Class and then the C236 CLE. The newest system is MB. OS on the all new CLA.

Best way to tell if you have MBUX 3.0 is the inclusion of the Routines feature.

MBUX 2.0 and 3.0 has no big difference in terms of coding. 3.0 car combines the cluster module and head unit module into on module: CIVIC206.

haha. Really no idea why Mercedes call it civic206, May Germany phrases of head unit + Instrument cluster combined.
but in spec sheet it is called “Gen20x” civic206 is the module name in diagnoses info.

The numerical part, "206," probably refers to the W206 chassis. The automaker probably linked the control unit name to the vehicle platform on which it debuted.

CIVIC: Cockpit Integrated Vehicle Interface Controller.
