Quick way to check if ORP installed...should have diff lock dials (for rear & central diffs) and also the letters "LR" is printed on the off-road selection button.

If no "LR" printed = only basic off-road driving assist mode, which does NOT have low range.
Thanks! Can you post a picture of your diff lock dials? I have found a 2013 with thr newer version of the OFP. Here is a picture of the center console

Attached is an image of the diff lock dial on the dash as in my ML (image from internet, but exactly the same)...notice "LR" at the bottom of the of road mode selection, which means the vehicle is equipped with Low Range i.e. off road pack.

The console looks a bit different on the 2013 model as you posted. Both diff locks and low range are present and that comes only with the ORP, which means this vehicle is definitely equipped with the off road package.

Regards an enjoy...

Diff lock dial to the right of low range button

Vrystaat, Is that control in an ML or a G-wagon?
If it is an Ml (or GLE) then it is probably unique to your market.
The W164 and W166 here were never available with an interaxle diff lock.!
They only came with the controls as shown in David Hartmams picture.
