If you are driving a GLE in USA with Multibeam headlight (code 640), this coding service is for you! really useful features are now hidden in your car!
I have a 2020 GLE 350. The window sticker doesn't show code 640 but has the DA4 Exterior Lighting package which includes LED Intelligent light system, adaptive highbeam assist. Is that the same thing?
I have the 2020 GLE 450 with the Advanced Lighting Package. I believe if you look at the headlight itself, it should have the "Multibeam LED" logo there.
I got mine activated by RJ Automotive. Coding itself was done quickly (but does take some times for the initial setup)
Here is a short video of the light in action
@Lucky 777 , yes I am fairly certain it can be activated on your GLE via coding. You have a few options for coding service providers, the OP EleBest, RJ Automotive, and BenzNinja (I personally had BenzNinja do my ILS and additional features). There may be others also you may come across when researching. Its an excellent feature I highly recommend especially helpful on long freeway drives, fairly low cost across all providers as well.
Does the headlights need to be realigned after enabling ILS+ via coding? If so, how to do it?
If you are talking about the aim of the headlight, it shouldn't need adjustment after coding given that the headlight is aimed properly to start with. The ILS+ should only change how the light behaves (software side).
Side note, there is a adjustment screw that you can use to change the aim (up/down) of the light, but make sure you know what you are doing before adjusting it.

640 is only available for USA or Canada, it is like function restrained Multibeam headlights
same to 316, function restrained Digital light.
“640” is an option code on your spec sheet. Not shown on your windows.
For other region like ECE: 640 change to 641 (for RHD) or 642 (LHD), means fully working Multibeam headlights.
So I asked my Service Manager BEFORE I had RJ code my lights and they were fine with it.
I'll also say that they usually have a Brabus 800 or similar, parked right across from the SA desk. Often several.
I just had some updating done at my 40K service so it'll be interesting to see if my coding survived.
Some of my coding disappeared after a service visit. I know RJ guarantees his work and will reprogram them but I'm still waiting for my next service to do that 48v post connection recall so as to not waste his time should the recall work erase the programming again. ILS+ stayed though.
On my BMW you can self code using BimmerCode and an OBD adapter - is there nothing like this for Mercees?
There is but it's not as easy to obtain the the MB software to program like Bimmercode. Also, from what I've read about Bimmercode, it's not as cut and dry either. Thankfully we have several reliable programmers on here for hire.

This one has received good reviews about deep coding.

I'm interested in buying one. But I'm not confident in changing lines of code. Maybe it's easy but I don't have any experience.

I bought one of the LAUNCH devices, didn't work on my 2024 GLE, couldn't run/read any of the Mercedes diagnostic modules/software.
Thanks for the input. What I see from online reviews of the Elite Mercedes model, is that you have to have a wieless network connection to download the Mercedes data before starting.
Which model did you try, and did you do the downloads?

Autel like any Chinese tools never connect to MB servers.
'online" only means that the tool will try to connect to a Chinese data base, obtained randomly form various forums from which the tool will make a 'by chance" approximation.
I earn a constant revenue recovering Mercedes modules after Chinese 'online' coding. Even with 26 years experience, I had a lot of situations with modules that can not be recovered as Autel successfully delete the virtual eeprom part including the module identification parameters.

Good input, but I was asking about the Launch Elite Mercedes, which shows downloading taking place on a couple of YouTube channels. And the frustration by a couple other Tubers that nothing happened, not even VIN ID, but they didn't get on their WiFi network for the download. So we know it won't work at all without a network connection to get the latest database. The opinion by some reviewers is that it's the same functionality as their multi-thou$$and units but only one manufacturer's data. If you want another brand, it's a subscription (the Gillette Razor business model).
Yes, I'm reluctant to change anything because I know what a Brick is like.
Hoping for more input from Launch users...

Launch has 100% the same logic as Autel and like any Chinese tool. Online is only a connection to a pirate data base.

I bought one like that for my W221 and returned it because most reset instructions were for manual actions and not with the device.
Any connection to Mercedes Server for coding, flashing, adding or deleting options is logged and can be easily checked at any dealership.
None of the codings, flashing, etc made it with any Chinese tools is not present into the official Mercedes log and this is the reason for deleting after using official service.
May this be not so important, but if Chinese ( or most of the miracle coders) do "online" outside the MB server, then using a pirate data base will add very unpleasant results.
