Based on what ive been seeing, I dont think there is a difference between the version of Distronic Plus you have and the W166 Chassis of the GLE (16-19). I cannot say for the V167 chassis of the GLE (20-present). Unless they promote a newer version of the software that has been rolled out to newer cars but i have not seen this yet. If you ask me, you dont need to upgrade anything.
