Guide on hidden settings for E63S

Hi guys,

I picked up my car yesterday (more on that in an upcoming thread....it is awesome), and I have questions regarding the "hidden" settings in the COMMAND displays. I understand there are engineering menus that allow for some adjustment of things like the HUD. I saw a thread here that mentioned how to access it but I am not having any success getting it to work. It would be nice if all info pertaining to custom settings were in one thread. So, anyone care to help? Thanks in advance!

Nobody has been able to access this hidden menu. The ones you see on youtube maybe pertained to European model, certainly not North American.

I sure would love to enable the full functionality of the multibeam LED headlights (just like the Euro one)

I'd love to have the car default to the last driving mode / setting used, instead of reverting to comfort every time I start the car.

Just asked my dealer. He told me that engineering mode firstly should be activated via Xentry for end user to be allowed to use.

I have been able to access this menu. Lots of interesting images in the HUD using this as posted here https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w...dyno-mode.html


* Press power button without foot on brake.
* Activate the trip display, showing the odometer.
* Hold the "House/back"-button on the left side of the steering wheel.
* While holding "House/back", hold the left "OK"-button.
* Voila, service mode.
* Select Dynamometer mode, activate.
