Need brake pad change help-GLC63 MBUX
2020 GLC63 owner here. I am COMPLETELY over the squeeling factory pads and I’m trying to change them out for some Powerstop pads and I’m having an issue. Pre-2018 there was an easy access maintenance menu to release the parking brake, but that is gone with MBUX and I’m wondering if anyone knows a new method to access it? I even gave up and took the pads to an independent Mercedes’ authorized shop and their tablet didn’t have the software for a 2020 model to release the brakes for maintenance! (Found out AFTER paying for an hour of labor). The dealer will be happy to do a complete brake job for $3400 but, will NOT use non-factory brake pads. I have a cabin in Show Low, AZ and I either drive my GLC or my Carrera to get up there and the GLC brakes get a little cooked after a spirited drive, so I really need to conquer this. Help me out here guys and gals!
On a different note, if you have experience with Eurocharged tuning, please PM me or leave a note here. I’m getting ready to do the whole CPC/ECU tune and would love to hear your experience.
THANKS!

Here you go.
Also, I had a Eurocharge tune on my MY19 GLC63 and I loved it. For my MY21 G63, I ended up going with Renntech though. Their programmer is super easy to use although the MyGenius programmer from Eurocharged isn't difficult by any means. I just felt Renntech was better suited for the G.

G’day mate, are you planning on changing the brake pads yourself both front and back…either or!?
