ILS+ Coding USA/Canada cars

Hello! Can you explain to me how to unlock the full functions of the headlights on the GLE 400 2018, the car was imported from Canada, the extras have codes 608 and 640, I want to unlock code 628. Please, if possible, someone can help me, I use Vediamo.

There is a video on YouTube that gives all the steps (I'm lazy and didn't search for it so I could give you a link here). That being said, I ended up having @BenzNinja do mine. I'm very happy with the result.

I tried a video that shows how to unlock the W212 function but it gives the following 2 errors in both headlights after coding - B1FB201 and B284D71 if anyone has had the same thing happen to them or just knows where I'm going wrong or what else needs to be coded if they can help

from this clip -
I watched the only thing I changed was EZS166 instead of CGW because the GLE doesn't have CGW but apparently something else needs to be changed because it tells me that the function doesn't work and turns off the side marker after coding the original coding they light up and the turn signals don't work on the headlights only on the rear and on xentry it gives the following 2 errors in the headlights - B1FB201, B284D71

If you undid everything you did and it doesn't work then you must either have undone something incorrectly or didn't undo something that you changed. All I can suggest is reviewing your work again to make sure that everything is as it was (hopefully you kept a paper log when you did the programming so you have a reference to back out of the programming you did). Failing that, the only thing I can think of is to find someone to fix it for you. Benz Ninja did mine and he offers a service to do programming and repairs. Or you can take it to the dealer and have them reload the software.

Do I need to turn off the side markers in advance before European headlight coding?

When you code your headlights with European setting, the Side Markers will be off by default. If you like it, you can turn it On,it's just one byte that need to be on or Off

So the problem that occurs doesn't come from this, but does something need to be coded in the module itself because the video doesn't touch that?

In the video they code CGW, IGW, HLI and SMPC. You only coded the EZS166?

"...the only thing I changed was EZS166 instead of CGW..."

and,

"...but does something need to be coded in the module itself..", what module?


Although there are many similarities between W212 and GLS, I would follow instructions for GLS if you don't have enough experience to understand the coding domains,

I didn't express myself correctly.. I coded EZS166, IGW231, HLI_FL212, HLI_FR212, IC_172 and the reset SMPC as shown in the video because it takes information from the EZS module and in Xentry it says that the function is now active but it gives me the errors that I wrote above only in the two headlights and accordingly Autobeam Assist Plus does not work and also the front turn signals disappear and when I restore the factory settings on the modules everything is fixed and the errors disappear...
