Noob questions for DTS Monaco 8.16

Hi all !

I have just started diving into DTS Monaco and came across the thread for turning off ECO Start/Stop on my W212

Thread describes everything really good, only problem is that i am not capable of gaining 0B access (Cannot find "Generic Jobs")
Could that be because i am trying to do this in "Temporary Workspace"

Update:

Found that with smr files in DTS Monaco, i found the option "Security Access", but not able to get any seed keys, almost seems like it is in simulation mode, but it is not.

Got assistance from a friend that is experienced, he tried vith both Vediamo and DTS Monaco, without any success.

Could the module somehow be locked for access, sw not working as it should ?

Would appretiate if any Guru`s would have a go at it ?

Hi !
Thanks for the tip !
But other then disabling this function, it was also the learning for me, to be able to use Vediamo/DTS Monaco for coding etc. since someone had spent time an made a really good "How To", i figured that this could be a good way to get some insight in theese programs..

In Xentry this is listed as Control Unit Variant: CRD3_Diag_210A
DTS Monaco CBF file found: CRD3.CBF
DTS Monaco SMR files found: CRD3S2, CRD3NFZ, CRD3MFA1

Could the problem be that i dont find the correct file, and as a result i am not able to request seed ?

Update:

Been out for a test drive now, and seems like the changes in Vediamo has been uploaded to ECU, Start/stop is not in function, no amber or green indication in instrument cluster, but green light on button in dashboard is still on (My friend meant that it should not light up if the function was disabled), anyone know if the light is supposed to be on or off when function is disabled in ECU ?

Sorry, admittedly I am not too familiar with DTS Monaco so I am not able to help.

If your ECU is CRD3, then the file needed should be CRD3, not crd3s2 nor crd3mfa1

If you use Monaco with Openport, the .cbf files can't be opened. If you use Vediamo it will work perfectly.
The 0B unlock, on CRD3 can be founded under "Functions" not on Generic jobs
