I left the Mercedes dealer now. everything is already installed.
First the car gave many failures and did not start. After a few minutes the car started, but gave many failures and revolutions, and km count moved. Little by little, faults have disappeared and now nothing is moving. But they had to close the co-workers and have not been able to prove it. The mechanic tells me that tomorrow he wants to put a distronic code in the mercedes server, to download the software. I pass some photos of some failures that occurred when starting and then removed slowly. I hope tomorrow works ..... What do you think of jrsmith_68?
again I failed the translator, wanted to say:
jrsmith_68 what do you think of this start?
Your car had no failures when starting?
Guti,
If the dealer has not added Distronic Plus to your VMI and recoded your ECUs, then all of those errors are normal. You will not have any safety related functions of the vehicle. The airbag error is probably due to the removal of your airbags when the seats and steering wheel was removed. The error will need to be cleared by the dealer.
Hello, I have the 360 camera, that camera does not work?
I have to add another one to the mirror? or change it for another?
The 360 camera is not a component of the driver assistance system. The camera I am referring to is the camera in the windshield. That camera must be changed.

The dealer tells me it can be the radar video control unit. I installed the 000 900 01 02, 000 901 91 00. And the dealer tells me that I have to install the video control unit 000 900 20 03 for GL. the Distronic is already discharged (Distronic error appears on screen) Yes, also change the front windshield camera. I installed 000 905 74 02.
Do you think it could be the video control unit? what ECU does the mechanic have to reset? tell me if the translation is ok.
regards

It's possible that your dealer is correct on the radar control unit. Your GL is a 2016, my ML is a 2015. Its not a difference of GL vs. ML, but year. If you send me a PM with your VIN I can check your SA codes and determine which unit you need. Your dealer must SCN code your vehicle for Distronic to work. Most important is your EIS which if not coded it will not be able to communicate with the new control units.

My VIN chassis is WDC1668241A549559, and the reference of the video unit that the dealer tells me is 000 900 20 03-
I can add the crystals of the blind spot mirrors, or do I have to install? Thank you very much

Guti, I double checked your VIN and indeed your dealer is correct. Everything else should work, camera, medium range and long range radar sensor.
"Crystals of the blind spot mirrors" Not sure about your translations. Are you referring to the lights in the mirrors? If those are not installed, I assume you would get an error for that also.

Ok, thank you very much jrsmith_68.
I try to translate the matter of the mirrors with the function of blind spot.
Did you change only the mirror glass? If there are no installation cables for the light of the mirror triangle, can I add those cables? or do I have to change the whole mirror?
Thank you very much and greetings to all

I understand your question now. I didn't have to change mirrors, nor add harnesses. In the US, the basic Blind Spot detection is a standard option. I will check to see if I have a schematic of the mirror harness and see if I can find a part number for you.
Guti, there is no way to buy the harness to the mirror separately. It is integral with the mirror housing. However, you should be able to add the three conductors needed with the schematic I am uploading here, look at the section under Code 234. I assume you have some left over wiring that you can salvage the pins and sockets and use those to make the harness you need.

Thank you very much jrsmith_68. The mechanic has been on vacation. Yesterday he installed the new video control unit, but he is having problems downloading the software codes. This scheme is very helpful. I will try to convince the mechanic to do the installation. This Distronic is costing a lot of time.
I'll keep informing you.
By the way, my 4th son will study this year in USA 12th (in Spain 2 Bachiller with 18 years). I still do not know what state he will live in.

Hello jrsmith_68, I come from the dealership. They have assembled the new unit, downloaded the software and the car continues to give the same faults. Did you download official Mercedes software? I send you the detail of the options that the new video control unit supports, and the characteristics of my car? I can also send you the one from my other GL car that Distronic has. Do you have any idea of the failure in the car? regards
Sorry Jrsmith_68 The main sensor of the Distronic front, I bought it on Ebay USA. Is it possible that it is programmed for Miles instead of Km / Hour that we have in Europe? Could this give failures? I attached the photos of the sensor
[QUOTE=JohnnyC;7478235]There are four Distronic units for the worldwide models on the ML and GLE (W166):
000-900-68-04
000-900-96-08
000-900-78-07
212-900-46-03
The unit of measurement does not matter, the 212-900-46-03 is on many European cars.[/QUOT
I attached the EBAY USA ad, where I bought the unit 212 900 46 03. It is the same reference but used in the USA. I also see that it was of an S class. Does not Miles or Km influence? The dealer is not helping me. and the car is stopped

As JohnnyC stated, it doesn't matter that you bought it from the US. As I was gathering components for my conversion, I actually purchased the multifunction camera and the MRR bumper radars all from Europe.
To answer your earlier question, I did all my own programming using Vediamo. I could not do it with Xentry as only a dealer can SCN code it. I assume the dealer successfully added SA Code 233 to your VMI?
Can you get a printout of all the actual errors from the Xentry Diagnostics system? That would help greatly understand which component is causing issues.

before downloading code 233, do they have to do something? What about environmental impact study, how do they do it? the SCN is 233? can they download 237 and 238?
tomorrow I'll ask the dealer for the fault sheet

You are correct, they also need to add 237 and 238 for the full package. Never heard of an environmental impact study being an issue for Distronic.
Also, in Xentry, I am curious what coding is shown active when you enter the control unit "SGR" I have added some screen shots to help explain
ha ha ha ha ... The translator again: He translated "EIS" as an environmental impact study. I have to be very careful with translations, then I go to the dealer and I inform you, regards
Interesting translation. All of the control units have to be coded once the SA codes are added. If the EIS ( electronic ignition switch) was not coded, that would be a major source for your issues. They should know immediately this is the issue when they review the screen I captured above.
When I asked the workshop manager about the EIS (electronic ignition switch), he answered me very seriously, saying that "they already do this every time they download or activate something new, and in my case, they check it more".
I asked for the fault sheet and he does not want to give me the original. he's going to check it again tomorrow and write me the result on a piece of paper.
He is a new workshop manager and now he tells me that they should not have accepted this reform in his official Mercedes workshop. I get a new main radar unit (recycled by Mercedes) next Tuesday. they will install it and if it does not work, they do not want to know anything about this reform.
Now I will have to find another workshop to review everything again.
I will try to upload a video of the failures that it makes when turning it on
hello jrsmith_68, I attached the video of the failures that the car gives when starting it. It walks very slowly because it does not allow you to accelerate. as if it were braking,
