I've no idea, I only meant I would have got the 4 seater setup that can be optioned with the S63 in my car, but it isn't an available option. I have not seen that the digital lights would become available, I was assuming Dima had learned this somewhere.

Learned from the U.S. order guide and German config.
If I'm recalling correctly, it was already available standalone in Germany. In terms of choice, our Teutonic friends have perhaps the best possible range of options available. I've been on the site configuring cars, it is much more granular than we have in the US; ours is mostly a few models lines, with a few options, each one cutting you off from other options.
Dear All, after a few days study with bros Andres with his EQS SUV, we found these features are hidden in your car but can be activated by coding, which is available in W223 too:
Allow me to share here:
SSA: Stop Sign Assist, it alert you if you are trying not to stop at the stop sign smartly, so it is really useful especially sometimes the driver is distracted or a bit absent minded. It won’t bother you anything if you drive normally.
TLA: Traffic Light Assist aka Red Light Alert: it does the same thing as the stop sign:
TSA+: Advanced Traffic Sign Assist: Your driving assist camera can recognise more traffic sign, you will get an extra button on top of your MBUX screen
all photos are shared by Bro Andres, Thank you especially that Stop Sign Assist icon in the instrument cluster, it need a full empty junction, and need cheat the system like pretending not stop at the stop sign, so car will bring up this warning sign in HUD (if it is on) and in Instrument cluster. And take a photo, when the car is still moving, this is the reason why that photo is not very clear.
As mentioned above, @EleBest coded my new-to-me 2023 S580 this morning for Intelligent Light System Plus (ILS+). While I haven't had a chance to drive my car at night yet (I'll do that tonight or tomorrow night) this post is more about my experience with Max.
I reached out to Max on WhatsApp; within a couple of minutes, he responded to my text. He answered some basic questions, and once I received the ODB adapter from Amazon, we were off to the races. He remoted into my PC, installed the necessary software for the coding work, then I moved to my car where he finished his work. He was in constant contact with me via text for guidance and to answer any questions I had along the way. At the end of the process, we had a video call so he could see and verify the settings were enabled in my car.
The process for paying was simple and straight forward over PayPal. The connection to my Windows PC was easy via TeamViewer. The entire process for the software installs on my PC plus the coding in the car took just over two hours. While I have Google Fiber in my condo, I was reliant on the Wi-Fi for my condo building for the coding. Max wasn't sure the building's Wi-Fi would be fast enough, but he made it work.
I'm very pleased with the process and the service Max provided. It was straight forward and relatively easy. I will use Max again in a heartbeat should I decide to have more coding work done.
Also, a huge shoutout to Steve for his guidance and for pointing me to the correct adapters on Amazon to buy. Because I live in a larger city, I ordered and received them same day. Both adapters were less than $30. ODB Adapter $13.99 -

Both, Max (@EleBest) as well as Steve @SW20S are awesome forum colleagues. This is why I like car forums instead of social media; you come across great people, great service provides like Max, and great users and colleagues willing to help. No more room for scammy vendors or users. The forum experience and collaboration have improved quite a bit recently.
Sadly, I haven't yet had the opportunity to test ILS+ on the road. Atlanta streets are way too busy and well-lit for the feature to activate it seems. As the days get shorter, I'm certain I'll have the opportunity to test in the coming weeks/months.
I was finally able to test ILS+ in Atlanta on Georgia 400 as the sun was coming up at 6:59 AM. As you can see in the pic below, the Auto headlight indicator is on as is the blue high beam indicator light. Before, when the car observed taillights ahead, it would revert to low beams.
The high beams pretty much stayed on until I exited the highway and dropped below 10 MPH.

Did the headlights properly block out oncoming traffic and cars in front (anti-dazzle) ?
It did for those ahead of me, but where I tested on GA 400, I wasn't able to observe oncoming traffic because that stretch of highway has a large divider for MARTA light rail. Finding a stretch of really dark roads in Atlanta is tough, especially since I live in town. As the days get shorter, hopefully I'll find myself on more isolated roads in the suburbs where I can test.
As the days get shorter here in the northern hemisphere, I'm able to use my ILS+ more often and am happy to say definitely worth the price I paid @EleBest for the coding. I can use on even very busy highways with MANY cars ahead of me and passing on the left and right of me. One thing I've noticed though: the ILS Multibeam auto-highbeam feature doesn't activate until I enter a highway. It stays on Auto lowbeam until then. Is this to be expected? I haven't had the opportunity to drive on a pitch-black surface street as those are almost impossible to find in Atlanta, so haven't had the chance to test there.. Can someone that's either had the coding done or has a newer model that's equipped from the factory chime in?
Thanks for the update.
I'm guessing the car needs to get up to certain speed to activate the ILS+, just like how the base auto high-beam doesn't activate until like 25-30mph-ish.
I have nothing but pitch-dark streets around where I live.
I can definitely give you feedback once I decide to code mine. Still on the fence...
