Any US Based Coders? I want ILS and Remember Last Mode Eco Start/Stop

I've tried BenzNinja, impossible to get in touch with. I've tried some other forum recommendations but time zone conflicts are a recurring issue. Is there anyone US based that could code ILS+ and eco start/stop remember last setting (i.e., off). I have the J adapter, and I have Vediamo installed. Also I'm an IT professional so very technical (i.e., easy to work with). That said I gave up trying to get Xentry working. But I do have Vediamo working.

Also willing to drive to you if you're in the DMV (i.e., DC metro area).

RJ can do all that and more: https://rjautomotive.net/

Best part is, it's all remote coding, so you don't need to go anywhere!

Yes, I have personally used RJ's service and highly recommend it. I've gotten both things you described done without issue.

In the UK, another time zone issue! But I do appreciate it. I'll see if I can coordinate with them.

When you order you use a calendar to book an exact day and time, so it should be simple.

I give up. I went ahead and paid for a OBD dongle to activate it versus having anyone code it manually. Completely getting the runaround. I paid a guy online (Singapore, I think), hooked up my car and watched him sit there and jiggle my mouse for 20 mins. When I Whatsapped him to ask is everything OK, radio silence until I disputed it with PayPal.


If anyone is interested in the plug and play OBD dongle it is here: https://mwmods.com/index.php/product...ule-w222-s550/

I can post an update upon receipt. I'll also likely get this dongle for ability to remember last state of the eco start/stop so I can disable it. https://www.midcityengineering.com/p...s-benz-eco-v2/

Why didn't you just go with RJ?
I've also noticed the Singapore people are so unresponsive.

Only because I had been messaging 3 coders to get it done over the past month. Coordinating schedules due to time zone differences was a pain. Finally one of them became available. But after the experience I said to hell with any remote programmers I'll just buy the OBD activator. Even Benz Ninja was totally unresponsive and impossible for me to reach which is odd because it seems as though he posts every day.

This f****** ILS better be worth the damn hassle.

Thank you. I don't recall seeing anything in spam but I do get a lot and may have missed it. I tried to PM you in the past it said your PMs were turned off. I think I'm good for now but may ping you for something else.

I used the ODB to do the ILS upgrade and you will love it.

Done

I did the ILS plug and play upgrade. I didn't get to drive at night as much but so far it's impressive. I can say it definitely woke up my night vision too. Night vision catches a lot more people at night and activates more often. I was starting to think night vision was a gimmick but clearly ILS makes it function more accurately. Worth the upgrade for sure. The way is boxes out the car in front but lights up everything else with the high beam wow.

Do you have a coupe/cab? My understanding is that they do not have LED multibeam processors (no room?) to do the boxing out that you describe. There is some other auto highbeam type functionality but no where near as advanced as iLS+ on cars such as the S-class sedan.

Check the lights

I have a coupe. It's easy to tell if you have the option go to your headlights and look for the intelligent light system wording on your headlights. See image below. If you have that then you're good to go. What you have to remember is the US spec car we are equipped with has the same headlights and functionality as our Euro counter parts. The difference is the US department of transportation is strict (right or wrong) on what we can have on US roads. That said because we are equipped with the same hardware it's a matter of activating it.

You must have Code 640 in your datacard and you are good
