Just got notification of the MBUX 2.4 update on my 2024 GLE 350. first OTA I've recieved since getting the car last month. Anyone know what's different?
Pic of the update and my current version before update.
I got this update today on my 2024 GLE 53 AMG Coupe. It kept telling me to install it so I installed it when I got home and I didn’t have a chance to see if anything is different.

I played around a little bit after it installed and didn't notice anything different. I was reading that the update brought video streaming to the Electric models. I guess we weren't as lucky. Haha
I have a question. Just how often do we get OTA updates on our GLE's?
Unless they were done at the dealer during check-ups, or occurred totally in the background, there have been NO software updates on our 2022 GLE350...UNTIL TODAY (May 4, 2024).
There is one downloading right now. No animation, except a little white bar that filled in from left to right, and a big arrow on the screen pointing downward. The "You must Read These Terms and Conditions before you can tap ""ACCEPT"", said there would not be much communication on the screen. They were right! It's been about 15 minutes since the process started. I'm about to go back into the garage to look at the screen to see if whatever its doing behind the scenes, has completed. There were no instructions saying if we should turn the car totally off, or leave it running, or something in between. So I turned it off cold. Only the screen with the big white arrow stayed illuminated.
Twenty Minutes after Starting the Download, it has finished. "Your Multi-media update has completed successfully" appeared when the car was started. Two things noticed is that the two displays are brighter, and when manipulating the menus using the square navigation (whatever it's called), there is tactile feedback while scrolling up/down/right/left, and pressing down to "Select" what you want. Like a cellphone does if tactile feedback is turned on. The little vibration is a nice confirmation that your actions are moving the cursor, without having to stare at it.
According to the Mercedes app, my 2024 GLE 450 performed the update. There is also a Nav update that I manually installed using the Mercedes download manager and a USB drive.

It hasn't installed on my 2022 GLE yet, though it says it's waiting to download. I had tactile feedback before though, so maybe it's modified but it's not a new function. Maybe you had it turned off and the update reset the settings.
I just received notice to update. However before I update, does anyone know if it clears out the intelligent light system multi beam led coding? If not then I'll update asap, otherwise I'll just wait till the next big update, dealers visit, or whenever more convenient someday.

You'd better make sure. While I was updating today, for a moment the traffic sign assist was inoperative (gave a warning). So it's definitely not just the infotainment that's getting updated.

These updates will not clear it out. It might remove the ability to turn it off from the menu if that currently exists. Also all the reputable programmers on MBWorld guarantee their work if it gets wiped by the dealer for a certain period or longer. I've had plenty of updates and my ILS+ never got wiped.

You're probably right about the tactile feedback. It's my wife's car. Anytime her car or computer or smartphone has a message pop-up about an UPDATE of some kind, she turns it over to me for resolving. While trying to get the screen to stop lagging after the update was completed, I noticed the tactile feedback/vibration while using that center-mounted control device. Thankfully, after a few minutes the navigation through the menus returned to being buttery smooth, like they have been since 2023.

Acquiring a windows laptop (from my family member) and scheduling a time block with overseas is a tad bit difficult for me. So I try to avoid doing so until absolutely necessary.

I can confirm that the coding that RJ did, was still enabled after the OTA update on my 2024 GLE. Although I never had the option to turn it on and off through the MBUX. RJ said with MBUX Facelifted, that you no longer get a menu item to enable/disable the ILS+, It's always on. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Some programming items do get wiped though, like saving auto start stop, AMG screens, AMG Telemetry Display, Energizing Comfort. Whereas disabling Seat belt warning and ILS+ do not. I've been meaning to get some of my items reprogrammed by RJ but I didn't want to waste his time until I got this new 48v recall fixed just in case the work somehow wipes his work again.

I updated my GLC and I have lost the menu for the projection headlights and my car now always starts in 'C' drive mode when it was coded to start in 'E'.
However, when driving the other evening, the projection images and fancy lock / unlock graphics are still working, I just dont have the menu.
I contacted my coder and he has stated that the update has blocked them from re-coding !!

Thank you, I will avoid updating for now. I know lack of menu is a minimal concern, but I like everything to be just the way I like it after the update. Since the update is a small maintenance fixes and nothing new, there are no incentives for me to make the jump at this time.

At least you had an option in the menu to turn it on and off. For the 2024 GLE with the facelifted MBUX, the coding doesnt give you the menu option anymore. It's just always on.

Really?!? When RJ did my coding for ILS+, I noticed the option wasn't there in the settings and I asked him about it during our coding session and he told me that it no longer gets the menu option to enable/disable the ILS+ on MBUX facelift and that it's always on. Hmm

I have the GLC 2023 and I had the menu (until I updated my MBUX 2 last week) I had the option to change the graphics when locking unlocking between Rain and Stars.
I have also noticed RJ has now listed the projection headlights as 'out of stock' now.

The new GLCs use digital lights, which indeed I see it is out of stock. However GLEs are still using multibeam leds which is a step down from digital light. That is not out of stock.

What does the traffic sign thing do? I have every upgrade and can’t figure out what that one does. Does it show you the speed limit?
