Unlock full headlights matrix operation
Can anyone help me with the process or module I need to unlock the US Spec's headlights on the S560 up to it's full European-equivalent operation? I am referring to the operation of having the high-beam on all the time, while also avoiding incoming traffic (anti-dazzle) rather than being on ONLY when there are no vehicles around.
HINT: I finally purchased my dream S560!!. I gave been posting questions for the past 4 months as you all have noticed, and I finally found my perfect S560 with all the options I wanted!. I will post all about it in a separate thread later this week. I took the advise of getting the AWD too. Stealer-ships have screwed me several times, until I found an honest private owner.

Did you have to rent an equipment and wait for it to arrive, or was he able to do it remotely for you?

When it arrives you hook it up to your car's OBD port on one end, your internet on the other, and then he codes remotely.

I paid up for a membership with BenzNinja (Peter), got the computer and C4 guy. Peter set up the computer such that I have Xentry. With that Peter unlocked ILS, gave the transmission additional modes (love how it shifts for it!), got rid of stop-start via having the car start up in the last mode it was in, added sign recognition (speed limit displayed in the cluster), removed that pesky speed limiter, and a number of assorted sundries. The computer is useful for all Mercedes and Peter is the real deal. Look him up.
I love ILS. Isn’t it just like our friends at .fed to keep us from having wonderful technology like that! As of (if failing memory serves) February 2021 the feds made such lighting systems legal here in the USA; but we don’t just go to MB and ask that they jailbreak it. Peter will. Money well spent.

I'm still confused about US regulatory approval of this feature ... if the hardware and software are present on a car like mine, why wouldn't a dealer activate it for us? Is the government approval limited to newer model years or something? Does Mercedes want us to buy a newer model to get this feature? Do all Mercedes cars after a certain mfg date have this activated from the factory?
