Had mine does as well by RJ Automotive along with a bunch of other mods. One thing I noticed on a drive early this morning in the dark is that the front axle lift up/down action causes the car to display some icon on the road (not sure what the icon was of though, looked like some arrows along a vertical line, I'll pay closer attention next time). Haven't seen anyone else mention that yet, so thought I would.

They have the new list here for our cars, just click on the MBUX 2 option: https://rjautomotive.net/pages/coding-options
I had my default drive mode set to individual (so I could make it whatever later), enabled snow mode, disabled start/stop (I think they had to disable it entirely because the auto-disable on startup wasn't working right, they said some others had the same issue). I had already added the dashcam feature, they set it to auto-record at startup. The one I was excited about isn't possible for our cars apparently, the disabling of active lane assist (leaving it in a passive warn-only mode, so it doesn't steer me into incoming traffic). The traffic light assist they said we didn't need, and I think the automatic parking speed was increased, but I haven't checked that yet.

During the past several months, I had several software updates performed at the MB dealership. Unfortunately, the last round of updates removed the Digital Light functionality and Auto Start/Stop changes made by RJ Automotive. I contacted RJ Automotive to have the programming redone. Here is the reply I received:
Thanks for contacting us. Unfortunately programming of MBUX2 vehicles is now unavailable for a few months. Mercedes have temporarily removed aftermarket coding access to all companies for the time being while they review the policies around aftermarket coding. This happened last week.This effects all companies that offer aftermarket coding so no one can do it currently.
We estimate it could be a few months before the access is returned.
Sorry to dissappoint.
Ughh, the Digital Lights are one of the best features of the car.We estimate it could be a few months before the access is returned.
Sorry to dissappoint.

Yeah can confirm the same (well, noticed the auto start/stop was undone, was going to confirm the digital lights as well tonight). Did receive the same message from them though, huge bummer

Doesn't look like I can edit my last comment, drove the SL63 tonight and the digital light change is still there, so I think it was only the auto start/stop affected for me. The lights are honestly my first or second favorite thing about the car, so I'm glad I didn't lose it

I’m jealous. I lost the auto start stop after the second round of MB software updates performed at the dealership. The digital lights disappeared after the third round of software updates.
