Many folks here have gone with @BenzNinja . He provides XENTRY, DAS, Vediamo, DTS Monaco, WIS/ASRA, EPC and other software on a Windows 10 SSD that you install on your laptop. It's very stable and is installed without kludgy workarounds. With the BenzNinja Club membership, you also get lifetime support via remote connection for any Mercedes you own. If your license or startkey ever gets corrupted, he will restore it. COMAND on my C350 got locked somehow and he was able to get and install a new security code from Mercedes to unlock it. Quite a unique good deal.

1. When creating a temporary workspace in DTS Monaco use EZS213.smr-d and ESP167.smr-d files.
2. Go to Quick Test, click Start button (near tab's top left corner). Not sure if it is really needed but I
always did it.
3. Next, we need to disable car's firewall. Otherwise variant coding will error out.
4. Go to Diagnostics Services tab. We'll be sending command to car by pressing Transmit button. Watch for
errors in result, at the bottom of the tab. If you get one then you are doing something wrong. Stop.
5. Double click on EZS213 [UDS_CAN_D]. It should change from orange to green.
6. Select EZS213 [UDS_CAN_D] > Session > [10] Extended Start. Press Transmit button (located below the
box where you selected Extended Start).
7. Select EZS213 [UDS_CAN_D]> General Jobs > Security Access Level 3B. Transmit. If no errors, car's
firewall is disabled!
8. EZS213 [UDS_CAN_D] should stay green to the very end, otherwise firewall will be back.
9. Next, we need to enable variant coding. Double click on ESP167[UDS_CAN_D]. It should turn green.
10. Select ESP167 [UDS_CAN_D] > Security Access > [27 08] Request Seed Variant Coding. Transmit. You
should get 8-byte seed value, e.g. B8,28,01,23,42,50,3B,70.
11. Open cmd, run mbseedkey_cli.exe -d C:\MBSeedKey\dlls\CPC_NG_CPC_NG_14_31_11.dll -a 0B -s
B828012342503B70. Copy generated value, e.g. 9F CB EB F6.
12. Back to Monaco. Select ESP167 [UDS_CAN_D] > Security Access > [27 0C] Send Key Variant Coding,
paste the seed key into Seed Key parameter. Transmit. Make sure no errors reported. If no errors, then
variant coding is enabled!
13. Go to Varian Coding tab.
14. Connect to ESP167 [UDS_CAN_D], select [002] MB-Funktionen (Fahrprogramm-Master) Write.
15. SAVE CURRENT DATA!!!
16. Find "LastMode_V2_0" line (byte 60, offset 6). Current value is likely to be "do_not_store". Change it to "store_infinity". Press Do Coding
button. Watch for errors.
17. Back to Diagnostics Services tab.
27. Select ESP167 > Ecu Reset -> [11 01] HardReset Reset. Transmit.
Done!
Thank you, I really needed to know this, after disabling ECO start/stop this will be useful as well since I always keep changing to E when the car starts.

I should have probably clarified that you need to do variant coding in Electronic Stability Program ECU. Mine happened to be ESP167_Diag_00A07F per Xentry. Thus use of esp167.smr-d. Interestingly enough, my starting point was ChatGPT. It said that remembering last mode was possible for my car and that it would be somewhere in ESP unit.

If just one radar shows misalignment, maybe is not about parameters.
