Engineering mode?

Anyone know how to access engineering mode? I tried one approach I found online - going to settings and holding down main round button for ten seconds, but that didn’t seem to work....

Here’s a link to a video to access engineering mode in a ‘17 w213 (I tried it numerous times but didn’t work for me):

Allegedly needs to be enabled by a dealer (or someone with the proprietary MB diagnostic tools). Can be done, but doesn't seem like just a casual "oh, can you enable that" type of thing. Sounded more like a "need to be a friend of the mechanic" type of thing.

So what does this intriguing Engineering Mode do that Service Mode doesn't?

Main reason I've seen people want engineering mode is to enable MirrorLink
