Loving the ILS.
One question, can the speed where it defaults back to low be changed.
At below 20 mph the headlights return to low.
I live in a dark neighborhood with winding streets and would love to have high beams down to zero, or at least 10 mph.

Hey !

nothing can be done without hardware
but I will be releasing a adjustment solution soon, less complicated and compact, intended for small adjustments only

Once you are spoiled then you always want more. This is a fantastic system. Would just like to use it on the way for breakfast

2020 S560,14 ml350, 03 sl55, silver, pano, slr cams, evo headers, lsd, 2019 s63 cab.
My 2020 s560 has high beams that come on with center spreading out to left and right when turned on. Is this same as ils everyone is talking about?
my 2019 s63 cabriolet doesn’t do this pattern. Is this something that the upgrade would add to s63 cabriolet?
what does ils look like?

No, thats the standard high beam setup...the ILS coding will improve them significantly

They would both improve.
The following video about ILS+ for the E-Class also applies to the headlights in our cars as well.

BenzNinja completed coding my 17 S550 today. ILS was primary, plus other features ie seatbelt chime delete, map upgrade, AMG gages, flashing brake lights, auto emergency brake off, start/stop mode retired and a few others.

From start to finish - smooth and easy as advertised. Refreshing to find a service provider that will do what he says, when he says and for how much.

BenzNinja has my highest level of recommendation.

We can try next time we do programming.
We still need to sort out the best way to default the drive mode to "*Individual".
The extra time/speed for the parking cameras to stay on might be a bit high, but found I can tap the "back" button to cancel and bring up the Android Auto.
One more little mod, if possible (now that we have more time in the car) would be button to turn on the front parking cameras before you trip a "close" warning.
Right now in tight spaces, I stop a second, bump into reverse, then return to drive to pull in with the cameras on.

Thats a great one, I wish the front camera would come up when it senses something in front, is that possible? Surround view camera comes on, but you have to bump it into reverse and then drive or scroll down to get the front camera on

would take many hours to attempts but I have custom requests once in a while, some ended up possible, some not
let's say "everything" is virtually possible but would need firmware rewrite and price point would be very high ... done it 2-3 times

Could you possibly activate features that normally require Mercedes Me (in a country without it)?

Yes, the remote solution is in build and testing phase. For now, all NTG55 + NTGG6 can be activated full options 100% (even dashcam) only by deep reprogramming. unit has to be send out. takes 1 day, all included so expect 7-8 with a acceptable shipping price or shorter if you have $
