So I had @EleBest code Maybach mode for me a few months ago. Originally I didn't use it much because the screen was saying that the suspension mode remained in Comfort:
But when it was mentioned in the GLS forum that Maybach mode there does change the suspension settings I decided to try it out. It absolutely does. I am pretty amazed by the difference in ride quality over Comfort. It also constantly adjusts the height of the car, and below 50MPH or so it puts it in high suspension mode and then back over 50MPH or so it lowers it back to 0, and then at highway speeds it does lower it to -1. It also leaves it in high suspension mode when parked which makes getting in and out of it easier. I suppose the higher suspension mode at lower speeds is to give it better suspension travel. The ride is considerably flatter at all speeds, its hard to describe but its positive.
The transmission tuning also is much "lazier", it truly starts in 2nd gear the way my S560 did, and the transmission wants to shift a lot less which actually helps with the wonky shifting 9G tronic.
My only concerns are its using the compressor a lot to raise and lower it...longevity of that part? I also think the car looks goofy in high suspension mode and around town thats the mode its going to be in most of the time:
But very pleased, I highly recommend having this coded on, especially those who have issues with ride and trans shifting

I also had it done but have never kept it engaged past 50mph. It’s good to hear it automatically disengages and returns to normal at that speed. I also like the height around town and at department store parking lots.

Leave it engaged, it does lower and it continues to provide a different ride profile on the highway which is excellent. Lowers it to 0 at 50 and to -1 at about 70.
Would you take several pictures of the sides of the car so we can see what you are describing as increased height.. Perhaps also a pic of the wheel wells just to demonstrate the difference. Thanks.

ok you got my full interest now. It sounds very nice. But, what about the warranty? I have a 2023 S500 CPO with extended warranty for three more years. Does this code (or any other) violate the terms? If not. What would be the cost and procedure to perform this code?

I wouldn’t worry about the warranty. It can always just be coded back off if it has to go in for warranty work.

I LOVE THAT GREY. I'm pretty sure that's Selenite Grey? It's the perfect shade of grey.
Haha. Yeah Selenite Grey.
