just a note, there is a minor typo in the written instructions... "IC204" should be "IC_204". Excellent video, thank you!!

Really good tutorial!

I coded it on my S212 with an Openport 2 exactly as shown here. It worked out very well. Now I enjoy the super working intelligent light system.

Thanks for this tutorial!

Many greetings from Germany.

Sup man,

I am a proud owner of a w212 (facelift, Build in 2014 straight from the main Mercedes Factory in Stuttgart, Germany).

Months ago before I picked up the car, I choose the ILS for my car as well. It was a 2000 € Option (round about 2200 $). Im very very happy That I bought this Option still till This day.

The only thing for me is why Am I having 2 options: „manual high beam“ and „turning off the ILS. „

Infact Mercedes told me that my car is one of the first versions of the w212 facelift. They told me that the intelligent high beam wasnt even out back then in 2014.

Im really hyped to enable this feature. I would feel complete.

[tlagomars]

Great tutorial! Got my ILS activated today in the e63s! Thank you so much for the great vid and the help!

[Ken-yg]

What would be nice for entertainment purposes would be to walk us thru the hardware and software needed to work on the ILS. C4 Vedaimo / Xentry set up. Lots of used / Chinese set s in eBay. Not sure which combo's are compatible, or minimum software version needed for a 2014 E63S.

[EnjoytheMoments]

That is so cool. I didn't even know that my car W218 has that function (just checked). Thank you!

[AlvinShen]

Interesting… I’ve gotten ILS+ activated on my car, great that you’re making a video on it

[GektorGevorgyanSky]

Great guide. Thanks for video. But I have 2 questions below.
1) Can I use chinese OpenPort 2.0 for this manipulations?
2) What type of resets I should use? It wasn't clear for me what you've said in 19:27
Thanks for the reply!

[therealinterlaced]

Will this work for newer Mercedes models too, like if we purchase a EU ILS spec headlight and replace it?

[mikeshaw]

My 2012 pre facelift E63 has 621 HEADLAMP WITH ILS, LEFT-HAND TRAFFIC, also has 608 but not 640, worth a try I guess. looks very cool.

[dusaintel]

Man I would really love to do this? Will it work on a w166 2016 GLE? I do have intelligent light system and I do have the same exact c4 setup as you.

[cmoney]

I have the multibeam on a w213 E class and this helped me code the euro speck version of multibeam so cool thx

[fioravantigtb]

Thank you very much for your great video!!!! This is the most helpful video I’ve seen on the internet 🛜 You ROCK!!!

[alistomin]

Great tutorial - thank you! I was able to use Tactrix OpenPort USB cable with xentry/vediamo passthru to follow coding instructions almost to the letter. Used .cbf files from xentry install directory.

[pucfpdm]

13:00-13:12 in order to change 640 to 642, all you do in the program is press on 640 and hit ECU Coding? I'm just trying to attempt to understand the entire video before I even try. I have a C218, so at 11:09 would I also go into IGW212 or do you think it'd be ending in 218?

[garryproffitt]

Hi
Ace tutorial. I need some help if you are bored. I have a project and have used the mercedes intelligent headlamps like you have. Could this code them so i dont have these and can just use normal bulbs that will be easy to fit in my headlights???

[gillypig]

You are the man, so glad I found you, wish you were closer. Any chance you can move to California ? San Diego to be specific hahaha

[shahabsyed]

Great video, liked & subscribed your channel. I am in UAE and imported a 2018 USA spec W117 recently with halogen headlamps. I have procured the LED ILS headlamps and was wondering if I need to do any additional steps (apart from this video) to make ILS work on my car. For example, do I need to first change the region in the Headlamp & Headunit modules, etc.

[atgordon]

Great video ... I have the earlier e63 (2010) which does not have the ILS, but it does have the 615 Active Curve Lights (which are disabled in the US), which would be great to have. I do have an Aliexpress Xentry/Vediamo/Monaco setup. I haven't used Vediamo yet; now have a good reason to do so! Thanks for the step-by-step!

Xentry works great and does includes the all advanced adaptations feature: wonder if anyone has done the coding for ILS in Xentry?

[TheENchannel]

Hello man! Amazing tutorial liked and subscribed! I have a cls 400 2015 with multibeam headlights usa version and I would like to activate ils. Is the procedure the same as w212 with w218?
