It is more complicated than that. I understand that it there is a need to do an ECU or software fix, but I don't know if anyone has solved the problem?

Correct, the deactivation module for the OEM wing is included in our full Wing/Spoiler assembly. No need of modification to the ECU necessary, Plug'n'Play solution.

I would also like to know if this module is sold separately as I'm planning on purchasing an OEM spoiler from Mercedes.

Spoiler error
i just replaced factory spoiler with authentic MB part on a 2016 GTS. I'm getting a message that the wing has been deactivated and it's limiting top end to 125 mph. My local Atlanta dealer was able to obtain the code to clear it, but MB won't allow them to apply it, which is frustrating. So now we may need to open it back up to reinstall the wing motor to trick it out of the error. Any other ideas?

I am sure if I play around with C4 DAS system I will be able to figure it out.

Yeah I had to pay to get it sorted it out. Took over a month. You want answers, you'll have to pay just like I did. Wether it be paying me me or someone else. It'd be nice to recoup my investment.
I don't remember anyone here helping me get the spoiler installed.

But nothing on the forum helped me fix the problem and I'm obviously not the first one that's done it. So yeah, I reserve the right to recoup my R&D cost lol. I'm not forcing anyone to give me anything. If anyone is looking for a shortcut, I'm here.

No one wants you to pay for their fix. You could simply state that you were able to fix the problem and point members to the same source to which you paid or offer the solution to anyone who wants to share your cost with you. That is more like how this community works. One should be willing to give a little more than they take.
Nevertheless glad to see you had resolution. Have you met any other OC owners. We have a pretty good group of guys and girls that meet almost weekly and do car stuff if you are into it.
Cheers
