anyone who want it I can provide Upgrade for cluster, Head Unit and you could add the steering wheel for Pre-facelift W222 to Facelift version

 

Pics of BenzNinja working on my car. What a smooth process. Didn't have to use the provided battery pack because I had power outlets close to the car.

Got ILS+ and map update. Even though I exclusively use Waze for navigation, I was curious to see what effect an updated map would have on the behavior of DISTRONIC PLUS. I'm very happy with the results of the headlights. Too bad I had taken a 3k road trip days before it was coded. Would have loved to have it before the trip. But next month another 4k miles road trip is coming so I will have more to report. But from what I tested locally, ILS+ is amazing. In hindsight I should have taken the opportunity to to more upgrades since I already had the kit, but that's just how I operate. Will probably do a second round soon.

Highly recommend his services.

 

 

I can vouch for the advanced ILS! Just had it done, amazing!

 

So was BenzNinja able to change the speed adoption of ILS?

 

I am interested in this answer also. ILS is fantastic but would love to have it on in my neighborhood

 

That's where I use my high beams the most since my neighborhood has no street lamps and a lot of night-time walkers.

 

After the update my high beams come on after about 25 MPH, the ILS also has properties in the low beams as well...

 

Haven't tried yet.
Been busy.

 

Yes, it seems to fill in much like the turning fog lights on the older MBs.

 

Any luck changing the speed adoption of ILS from 25 MPH to something lower?

 

I can change on special order of course

 

For ILS activation.. do the stock for the headlights on the steering wheel need to be pushed forward or I can just keep it on the in its normal position?

 

Stalk has to be pushed forward

 

 

BN, Question:

W222 SCLASS 2013 Started with Fully Dynamic LED Headlamps with Adaptive HighBeam Assist Plus, When did that feature change to next revision of the feature and what was it? Is it Fully Dynamic Headlamps with Multi Beam LED? If so, does the ILS+ operate the same?

My understanding is that the 2013+ has a Mechanical Lever that operated High Beams, so how would it Block only a portion say around the car ahead?

Thank You in advance...

 

2013: LED headlight replace bulbs in a car for the first time with the W222 S-Class. The brake lights and turn indicators at the rear would be dimmed at night for other road users.

2014: MULTIBEAM-LED headlights with higher resolution, greater dynamism introduced in the 2nd-generation CLS. 24 LEDs per headlamp, 4 control units per vehicle, 255 dimmable stages.

2016: MULITBEAM LED headlamps with 84 LEDs per headlamp debuts on W213 E-Class.

2016: DIGITAL LIGHT debuts with millions of micro-reflectors. Not only did this offer maximum-performance dazzle-free continuous main beam in HD quality but it can create guiding lines projected onto the road surface, extended pedestrian marking and extended distance markings.

2018: MULTIBEAM LED comes to all segments of Benz vehicles, including the A-Class.

2018: 360-degree light signalling on an automated S-Class signalled that the vehicle was in automated driving mode. Slow flashing meant the vehicle was braking. Fast flashing indicated that the vehicle would shortly be moving off.

2019: The ESF 2019 safety research vehicle uses light signals to tell other users things like: “I have seen you”, “I will stay here”, “Attention, tailback” or “I’ll give way to you”. Communication takes place via the large front panel, LEDs in the sensor unit on the roof, in the exterior mirror indicator repeaters and the third brake lamp, and via projections onto the rear window. Warnings and messages are sent using animations and symbols.

2019: VISION EQS will bring a digital front grille with 940 individual LEDs in a three-dimensional space and DIGITAL LIGHT headlamps and two holographic lens modules.
2013: Around 100 years after the introduction of electric vehicle lighting, the current S-Class (W 222) became the world’s first vehicle to do without bulbs entirely. It was the first car to feature solely LED lights as standard. The multi-level functionality of the rear lamps represented another world premiere: out of consideration for any road users behind, the brake lights and turn indicators were dimmed at night or while waiting at traffic lights.

2014: The CLS (218 model series) marked the debut of MULTIBEAM-LED headlamps. When it comes to the number of pixels, the same is true of LED headlamps as of display screens: the higher the number of pixels, the higher the resolution and the more detailed the image. A high number of pixels also allows greater dynamism in the display. In terms of perception, this leads to a clear increase in precision and brilliance. There were now 24 high-performance LEDs per headlamp. Four control units per vehicle calculated the ideal light pattern 100 times per second and activated each LED individually, dimmable in 255 stages. Despite tremendous capacity, the precision main-beam module here just about fit into the palm of one’s hand. Each of the 24 high-performance LED chips was no bigger than the cross-section of a grain of rice.

2015: The Mercedes-Benz F 015 Luxury in Motion research vehicle, which gave an insight into autonomous driving in the future, communicated visually with its surroundings. The aim was to ensure that, when the vehicle was driving itself, other road users were aware of its intentions. Displays at the front and rear featured a communication matrix comprising three-dimensional, bar-shaped LED modules, together with two outer blocks made up of large LED bars. A slim LED light strip above the rear display was used for visualising driving-specific functions such as braking, indicating and the current driving mode of the F 015. When the vehicle was started, the LED blocks in the two communication displays lit up in sequence. The F 015 used the colour of its lights to indicate what driving mode it was currently in – blue stood for autonomous and white for manual.

2016: World premiere of MULITBEAM LED headlamps with 84 pixels in the E-Class (W 213). Each headlamp now had 84 individually controllable high-performance LEDs rather than 24, meaning that they were exceptionally bright and precise, illuminating the road ahead with a previously unsurpassed, precision-controlled distribution of light – without dazzling other road users.

2016: In the same year, Mercedes-Benz demonstrated what the future of vehicle headlamps looked like thanks to DIGITAL LIGHT. Maximum-performance dazzle-free continuous main beam in HD quality allowed pioneering driver assistance and communication with other road users. In each headlamp there were chips with over a million micro-reflectors, i.e. a total of over two million per vehicle. Guiding lines projected onto the road surface, extended pedestrian marking and extended distance marking made it easier to navigate through difficult driving situations such as at road works, when pedestrians approached, or if the distance to the vehicle in front was too short.

2018: MULTIBEAM LED with 18 individually controllable high-performance LEDs was now also available in the A-Class and, therefore, in all Mercedes-Benz vehicle segments.

2018: 360-degree light signalling was unveiled on a “cooperative S-Class”. As an automated vehicle, it used suitable light signals to inform people of what it intended to do. Continuous light showed that the vehicle was in automated driving mode, whether moving or stationary. Slow flashing meant the vehicle was braking. Fast flashing indicated that the vehicle would shortly be moving off.

2019: The ESF 2019 safety research vehicle also communicates with other road users using light signals, as responsible motorists also constantly give signals like “I have seen you”, “I will stay here”, “Attention, tailback” or “I’ll give way to you” to other road users. The ESF 2019 uses clearly visible light signals in turquoise to do the same, thereby instilling confidence through information. Communication takes place via the large front panel, LEDs in the sensor unit on the roof, in the exterior mirror indicator repeaters and the third brake lamp, and via projections onto the rear window. Warnings and messages are sent using animations and symbols.

2019: Unveiled at the Frankfurt International Motor Show, the VISION EQS is another highlight of innovative light development from Mercedes-Benz. The digital front grille allows a new level of precise signalling. With this total of 940 individual LEDs in a three-dimensional space, the light signals with which the vehicle communicates with its surroundings create a fascinating impression of depth. Further highlights of the VISION EQS include the new DIGITAL LIGHT headlamps, each with two holographic lens modules. This creates an almost unlimited number of display possibilities, providing an outlook on the future use of lighting by Mercedes-Benz. It also shows that the light of the future will also be important for man-machine communication and therefore also a key element in the fields of safety, aesthetics and design.

 

So the ILS + coded into the 2014 S class (W222) is controlling 24 headlight beams per headlight ?

 

How about Windows 11 x64 and I have an ODB2 that I can plug into my laptop so in this case would I just need the software?

 

The 2019 marketing video of the headlights is pretty neat:

 

I just noticed, it says BANNED under Benz Ninja.... I am not up to speed on "all things forum" Is he banned? Does anyone know why?

 

He's fine. One week time-out for misbehaving in class.
He'll be back on Friday with a surgically implanted civil tongue.

 

I can't wait to hear all about it

 

Thread cleaned up.
Appreciate for the thread to stay on-topic. Thanks

 

I had Benz Ninja (Peter) change the coding on my 2014 s63 AMG to install ILS. He told me that it would be limited because the assembly did not have all the capability of later versions.
Can anyone tell me if the physical assembly of a 2017 s63 AMG install correctly on a 2014 ? I won't make the change until I confirm with BN that the coding will yield full ILS+.
Appreciate the knowledge of the forum members.
If it will work then I will need advice on what to buy to make the change
Thanks
