I have a very rare S204 with all the options.
This includes the coveted distronic plus radar and radar blind spot detection.
These are fantastic, or rather were.
One by one, on my ten year old car the sensors are failing.
First the NSR radar quit, looking at the sensor water has got in and blown the cover off. I've just left this and now the OSR sensor has quit too.
That was OK, I can live without blind spot detection, but being pestered every time I start the car is annoying.
Now the front distronic plus radar has given up, pestering me again every time but more crucially leaving me without any cruise control.
Xentry shows the sensors are not working and physically you can see the blind spot ones are not in a good way.
Now the car is worth maybe £6k. Each sensor is around £600 from MB or £300 used, plus I may well need wiring looms. I can do it myself but it is simply not really economically viable to be dropping £2k in parts on something that is not core to the car.
If the car can be coded in some way to drop the options, stop pestering me and go back to a standard type cruise that would be fine.
I have an MB star / xentry clone but don't know where to start with coding. Is it even possible without online coding on these cars? I did do some coding on VAG cars previously, this is well documented but I can't find similar documentation for MB.
Any ideas?
