so the timeline to get this all tested, approved and stamped in 2 yrs time. It would mean it may take another 1 model year for some car manufacturers to have their models implemented ... wow. talk about 'watching paint dry'

I would call it “just in time delivery” as there are no V8s available in the near future…..

Given how long the wait is, honestly customers should just take matters into their own hands and enable it by using that OBD module. All US cars (as far as I remembered) has the hardware required for it and just need it enabled in the software to get the functionality that European market MBs been enjoying all this time.

What's another 2 years, LOL. European lighting has been ahead of ours for at least the last 40 years, thanks to archaic DOT legislation. Seems to have all started after Ralph Nader killed the Corvair with his book "Unsafe at Any Speed".
