I know some have added an LED that activates when the rear screen or mirror heater are on as a warning that a regen is in progress but by then it is a tad late.
Also on my car at least, it's obvious when it is in regen mode.
Mine blew it's oil seals a while back after getting stuck in a continuous regen cycle for over an hour !
I would like to know how far off a regen I am as well as when it is progress and how much longer is it is likely to take.
What we need is a DPF Soot Level display and I have been trying to figure out how to locate the relevant PID modes, codes and calculation.
It is possible using a simple OBD2 can bus controller and processor to stream and save the OBD2 data - figuring out the calculation that Mercedes use is the hard part !
I have managed to figure the soot level data and this morning it got to 100%, started a regen and slowly went back to zero.
The Turbo and DPF temperature values need testing more as I don't think the calculation is quite correct but near enough for the minute.
The temps fly up during a regen.
I will also add mileage since last regen when I get that one figured out as it generally regens at the same intervals..
