Didn’ watch the videos but the relay trick is pretty old and very common in Europe. VAG (VW,Audi) and BMW are the fastest to crack. At least there is a defeat with MB.

I think the defeat is MB acknowledges the problem and to eliminate that it offers a way of disabling it but it would also defeat the purpose of the keyless entry ,sorry for the pun

For many in the US this is a non-issue if you park the car in the garage. Important to know that this is not specific to MB, it's an issue with all keyless cars..
