PSA about Autel ODB2 scanners
Just so everyone is aware the Autel Maxisys Ultra which a lot of shops have can disable auto start stop as well as your seatbelt chime and a variety of other things. Some things im still not sure what they do. for instance my ambient illumination was disabled i enabled it but still have not seen a difference. Also if your around lafayette louisiana hit me up.
Interesting, thanks for the heads up. Just to be clear, you select (or deselect) ECO start/stop on that menu and it will no longer be active every time you start your car?
Another thing I HATE is the pre brake warning/application. I have to go in and switch that to off everytime I drive the car. I wish the car would remember my settings and leave it off.

what do you mean pre brake warning? Where is that setting and why am i just learning about this lol
It's obvious that the engineers assembling the engines take a great deal of pride in what they do but it would seem to me that even that job must become repititious. Do they contribute their skills in any other operation at the plant? It would be very interesting to get a little insight into their training and background.
I watched the YouTube video of the engine assembly. Very meticulus!
Many years ago I went to a Ford engine assembly plant in Windsor Ontario. My father was the sales rep for the company that supplied Ford with the water pump used on the 302 V8 engine. They discovered that some of the water pump castings were leaking so the company mobilized a task force to go to the factory and pressure test all of the water pumps before assembly on the engine. The company (Airtex supply) came up with a jig that allowed the casting to be mounted on. The outlet hose nipple was sealed while air was blown into the intake hose nipple. Using soapy water, the seam where the leaks were occurring were observed. My brother and I were pressed into duty because it was the weekend and because of the magnitude of this project, all hands on deck. We returned to the factory on Monday and got to see the engine assembly line in action. We also got to obsevere the initial start-up of the engines. They were basically suspended by 4 chains during start-up. Crazy scene especially when you would get an engine with a timing issue. The engine would swing, buck and backfire. Quite scary to the untrained eye. This was a far cry from the YouTube video showing the AMG engine being assembled by hand, but none the less, very interesting.
Red triangle comes up telling you you won’t be able to stop in time if car in front stops! I turned the audio beep off
I hate this feature with a passion. Still trying to figure this out. I want to get rid of the red pop up and the sound. It is way too conservative and also a bit shocking especially since I am new to this car
also looking to get rid of the speed limit notifier. I don’t need the car continuously telling me I am speeding. That’s why I have a wife!
If you have a 2021 GLE450 with the optional dashcam (code 21U), please note that the automatic recording function is currently available. See https://i.imgur.com/tJZZolk.png
Autel, Topdon, Luanch etc. Most of the tablet versions of the vehicle scanners can get it done as long as it supports the VCI with DoIP wich are usually the higher end line.
Intresting that it shows the Interior illumination but not the newer version of it (with the moving lights). Of note it does make a distinction on the sound system though!
