After doing ang update, the dealership returned my car with this icon missing, ive returned to them multiple time to try and get them to bring it back, according to them they can't, they even tried to contact MB engineering in Germany, does anyone have any idea how to bring back this icon ? My vehicle is a 2016 Gle350d , thanks in advance

Try this: check COMAND settings for Show drive program icon. If not there, hold Talk + Hang Up + OK buttons for 10 sec to find hidden menu. Otherwise, an indie MB shop with Xentry can re-code it fast. Dealers won't dig that deep.
