Hi ColeWorld, I found Benz Ninja in the internet recommended by several people and decided to contacted him. Back in June 2024 I bought the car and the equipment suggested (computer and other electronics from China, he sent me the links). As soon as I got it he sent me a hard drive to replace in the computer.
After few days that I had the idle speed was kind of rough and I wanted to change few options: parktronic sound upgrade, seat belt chime removal, eco start/stop - last active mode, lane changing flashes from 3 to 5, and he found other faults that were taken care at that time. All included in the membership about $1,000 with the equipment. It is worthwhile. The dealer won't do nothing like that and you have to make and appointment and leave it for a day or two.
I don't drive at night then I didn't active the lights ILS (Intelligent Light System).
He spent at least two hours with me.
You do have to have good internet connection for him to take control of the computer connected to the car.
Regards

One of the two best BenzNinja upgrades for me were (1) adding Agility/Sport+ and last remembered transmission mode, and (2) adding the AMG Menu to my IC. My cars had neither.
