Took BenzeNinja less that 30 mins to update ILS+ today. Also did auto stop/start. Could not do Dynamic mode setting for my model. Will test once dark and let you guys know. He’s very easy to work with over WhatsApp.
Love my new headlights!!
We were driving on a dark country road last night with a car in front of us, and my car kept a nice dark hole around them.
Nice bright light on either side. Very good logic as we could see the pattern in the passing trees.
The road signs are much brighter and stand out a bit too much but.. I can now see the side of the road!
So much more relaxing knowing that a family of deer isn't three feet away from me at 60MPH.

Cannot figure out if it’s working. Maybe my setting isn’t correct. Do I set the lights to ‘beam’ plus high beam with indicator stalk or ´auto’ plus high beam with indicator stalk?

I set mine to "enable" while then engine is running (headlight menu) and set the stalk to auto.
I don't know the particulars of minimum speeds or what requirements have to be met..
But most of the time I have two indicator lights where the high beam lights are.

Having the same issue, intelligent lighting enabled, headlights set to auto, and stalk pushed forward for auto high beams, but functionality is still the same as the regular auto high beam coding(all on or all off). Still trying to work out the kinks.

I guess a typo there. Main light switch to "A", cluster menu enable, stalk forward and drive fast enough on roads with no street lights (the speed threshold used to be of the order of 50 km/h on a W212 but has gone down with new models. Likely 30 to 40 km/h on a W222.

Do you know what module you have to go in to, to enable them in the USA?
Ok. I get what the fuss is all about. Took a drive on highway, winding road and a neighborhood. Set ils to on in lighting menu, set light switch to auto, pushed turn indicator stalk forward for high beam assist. Wow!! On winding road and highway the high beam blue light was on all the time on the instrument cluster. Road was well lit up by the car lights. Not once did oncoming traffic flash me. I could see the ils working and lighting the road ahead for me. One complaint - the road signs reflect too much and dazzle me. Wow.
cfmistry - I’m shipping the hardware tomorrow. BenzeNinja did his magic. Your turn.
I had ILS+ activated this past weekend. It is a very noticeable difference, particularly with street signs and the sides of the road. Haven’t driven in the dark enough for a full review.
I also had Traffic Sign Assist activated on my 2015. More of a gimmick than anything, but keeps it interesting!
Should be sent to the 4th user tomorrow!
Anyone else?

Hi Vince
seems this is a real cool solution for those who just want a few codings
so I added this thread in my support response
there will be more request
Thank you, this is great for the forum
Peter (Benzninja) just finished updating my S63 and my SL450. Without a doubt, he's a really great guy, knowledgable, and very thorough. I thought it was going to be a simple "change this switch on the software" type upgrade, well, definitely NOT! It's a lot more work than I ever imagined. If you don't have intimate knowledge of the systems and how to change them, you cannot do it. Only allow professionals to do this! Anyway, I'm very happy with the results and Peter did a great job. Will be sending the system on to the next guy today.
SW205 when are you having Benz Ninja do the upgrade? I am in Maryland as well and would like to do the upgrade as well. Maybe I could just pick it up from you? and then ship on to the next guy?

Hey Jim, I'll line it up with him as soon as I receive it. I'm in Gaithersburg/North Potomac.
