Question New on forum, help needed with diagnostic tool

HI All,

I bought 2017 gls450 in 2019. I need a tool which would do most of the stuff for service related. I am not going to do any engine mods or anything, just regular service and maybe few feature changes.
I want the car to start in individual mode rather than comfort mode, is it possible with any tool?

I don't think with benzninja, I would take full advantage?
Icarsoft v3?
iCarsoft max?
which one should I get?

Thanks all for your help in advance.

You're welcome, there is however a setting to disable eco start/stop maybe there is a setting to set default drive mode? Just make sure to always perform a backup before changing the parameters: https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w...ispreloading=1

I went with BenzNinja and have been very pleased. It's not just the tools but the service is exceptional. Xentry is amazing, but can be confusing and having someone that Knows it take over your computer and work it is a thing of beauty. He saved my *** New Years day.
