How to code w223?
I just wonder , how could i code my car? i see those guys around coding cars , unlocking new features and doing those stuff for at least 60 pounds. i would like to learn the way they do this. at the first glance i was thinking that they were able to do this because theyre an old mercedes employee which knows how to do those stuff.

There's already a forum member doing this, called BenzNinja. See this thread...
I've also seen it done, in person, by the guys at my local shop. They basically plug their laptop into the car's OBD (or at least I thought it was OBD - judging by its location, at the driver's footwell), fire up MB Xentry, use a bought license to bypass the car's security measures, and go from there.
I was told that this 'license' they use cost them upwards of $30,000. So definitely out of reach of the casual DIYer, for now, before someone manages to crack it for good.

Are you referring to the Xentry diagnosis certificate? The least expensive certificate costs some $50 but this certificate and Xentry are not sufficient for the complete list of tasks that Benz Ninja advertises.

Benz Ninja says they are coming, not ready at the moment.

They also told me that a certificate was no longer needed for coding the previous gen s class, as that one has already been cracked (which apparently took the community many years since its initial launch).
Of course, this was all just hear-say
would love to hear someone with actual credible knowledge on this topic chime in.

No, I was told that this certifacate was specific to the W223 - or perhaps this version of MBUX.

If your idea is to copy your friend's tablet, his licence would not work any more. Also I doubt he would give his on-line credentials, hardly even if you just borrowed his tablet.

His complete tablet with his licence and Xentry certificate? This should work off-line as if he was doing the work. But you cannot do version coding modifications to your car with this tablet. Workshops would do modification via VeDoc changes followed by automatic on-line SCN coding. You would need a tablet with Vediamo and DTS Monaco and official workshops do not have those.

Google Maps suggests 20 hours 15 minutes from Istanbul to Kyiv, 1460 km. I guess low average speed because of quite some serpentine roads before reaching Ukraine?
