Are you ready to unlock the full potential of your Mercedes-Benz? Whether you drive an A-Class, E-Class, or a van, our MBito diagnostic tool can transform your vehicle by activating hidden features that Mercedes keeps locked away. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore the Top 5 features we can unlock that will revolutionize your Mercedes-Benz driving experience.


What is MBito and Why Your Mercedes Needs Our Solution


MBito is our professional-grade Mercedes coding tool that connects to your vehicle’s including but not limited to COMAND and MBUX infotainment systems, to unlock hidden functions and customize settings. Compatible with virtually all modern Mercedes-Benz models from 2008 onwards, our Mercedes diagnostic software gives you access to features typically reserved for higher trim levels or completely hidden from factory settings.


5. Start/Stop Adjustments: Take Control of Your Engine Management

Start/Stop Adjustments: Take Control of Your Engine Management

Last Mode Memory or Complete System Deactivation


One of the most requested Mercedes customizations we provide involves the start/stop system. Many Mercedes owners find the automatic engine start/stop function intrusive. With MBito, we can configure your vehicle to:

  • Remember last mode: Your Mercedes will remember whether you had start/stop enabled or disabled from your previous drive

  • Permanently disable: Turn off the start/stop system completely across most compatible models.


This Mercedes hidden feature activation is particularly valuable for owners who frequently drive in stop-and-go traffic or prefer traditional engine behavior.


4. Rear DRLs Activation: Enhanced Visibility and Style

Illuminate Your Mercedes from Behind

Transform your Mercedes tail lights with our rear DRL activation service. This feature enables your rear daytime running lights, giving your Mercedes a more premium appearance while improving visibility during daytime driving.


Compatible Mercedes models we can activate rear DRLs on include:

  • A-Class and B-Class

  • C-Class

  • E-Class

  • S-Class

  • GLA, GLB, GLC, GLE, GLS SUV lineup

  • G-Class W463


This Mercedes lighting customization we provide not only enhances your vehicle’s aesthetic appeal but also improves safety by making your Mercedes more visible to other drivers.


3. Stroboscope/Knightrider Lights: Activate Dynamic Lighting Effects

Turn Your Mercedes into KITT

Perhaps the most exciting hidden feature we can unlock is the activation of the Stroboscope and Knightrider effect lighting. This dramatic Mercedes headlight feature creates a sweeping light pattern across your headlight’s LEDs, similar to the iconic KITT car from Knight Rider.


Our Mercedes coding transforms your exterior lights into a dynamic light show, perfect for impressing passengers or creating a unique nighttime driving atmosphere.


2. Apple CarPlay/Android Auto Activation: Seamless Smartphone Integration

Apple CarPlay/Android Auto Activation: Seamless Smartphone Integration

  • A-Class W176

  • B-Class W247

  • C-Class W205

  • E-Class W212/W213

This Mercedes smartphone integration we provide dramatically improves your infotainment experience, allowing seamless access to navigation, music, and apps through your Mercedes display.


1. AMG Menu Activation: Unleash Performance Features
