MBito OBD2 – diagnostic interface for Mercedes

MBito offers advanced personalization, diagnostic, and maintenance features designed specifically for Mercedes vehicles. With our Bluetooth OBD2 module and mobile app, you can control your car’s settings, enhance its functionality, and prevent costly repairs. See what you can do with your vehicle (the features listed are examples and depend on the specific model):

Coding for rear parking lights activation during daytime running

• This feature allows the rear parking lights to turn on automatically when the daytime running lights (DRL) are active. Usually, DRLs only turn on the front lights to ensure better visibility during the day. Activating this feature will also illuminate the rear parking lights, improving visibility and safety at the rear, especially in low-light conditions.
• Enhances safety by providing better vehicle visibility from behind during the day and when driving through tunnels or shaded areas. It also creates a more consistent lighting appearance for the vehicle.

Coding of single-touch turn signal flashes

• This feature allows you to customize the number of flashes for the single-touch turn signal function. Typically, a light tap of the turn signal stalk triggers three flashes. With this coding option, you can adjust the number of flashes from 1 up to 5, depending on your preference.
• Increases convenience and personalization, allowing drivers to set their preferred number of indicator flashes when changing lanes or signaling intent.

Start/Stop system coding to remember the last setting

• This feature manages the vehicle’s Start/Stop system, which automatically turns off the engine when the vehicle stops, saving fuel. With the memory option, the system remembers the last setting, so if you deactivate it while driving, it remains off during the next start.
• Provides greater control and convenience, especially for drivers who find the Start/Stop function inconvenient in city traffic or prefer it off for smoother driving.

Anti-theft alarm system activation coding

• This feature enables the factory-installed anti-theft alarm system, which may be inactive in some vehicles. Once activated, the system monitors the vehicle for unauthorized entry or tampering, triggering a sound alarm and flashing lights if a breach is detected.
• Enhances vehicle security by providing audible and visual alerts in case of theft attempts, giving peace of mind whether your car is parked at home or in public.

Internal air recirculation timer coding to unlimited

• This feature disables the automatic timer of the air recirculation function, which usually returns to fresh air mode after a set time. Once enabled, the recirculation mode remains active indefinitely until manually turned off. This is especially useful to prevent outside air, pollution, or odors from entering the cabin.
• Provides continuous control over cabin air quality, ideal for driving through polluted areas, tunnels, or regions with strong odors.

Easy diagnostics of all modules and DTC code handling

• This feature allows comprehensive diagnostics, including reading and clearing error codes from all electronic modules in the vehicle. Whether it’s the engine, transmission, ABS, airbags, or other systems, this function gives a detailed overview of any issues detected by the vehicle’s onboard systems. After repairs, error codes can be cleared, resetting warning lights and logs.
• Essential for maintaining the vehicle in optimal condition, enabling quick diagnosis and troubleshooting without visiting a dealership.

Ambient lighting menu activation for retrofitting

• This feature enables ambient lighting if the vehicle is equipped with the necessary hardware. Once activated, it allows configurable interior lighting with various colors and brightness levels, enhancing interior aesthetics and creating a more luxurious atmosphere.
• Ideal for vehicles where ambient lighting was added post-purchase, unlocking full functionality and personalization of the interior environment.

Change temperature units with a single click in the MBito app

• This feature allows switching the vehicle’s temperature units between Celsius and Fahrenheit. You can easily toggle between these units according to preference or regional requirements.
• Offers flexibility and convenience, especially for imported vehicles or drivers who prefer a specific unit for readability.

Change fuel consumption units with a single click in the MBito app

• This feature allows switching fuel consumption display between liters per 100 kilometers (l/100 km) and kilometers per liter (km/l), affecting how fuel consumption is shown on the dashboard or information display.
• Provides drivers flexibility in viewing fuel data in their preferred format, facilitating comparison and understanding of fuel efficiency.

Seatbelt reminder sound coding

• This feature allows enabling or disabling the seatbelt reminder chime and visual warning. When activated, both the sound and dashboard indicator alert you if seatbelts are unfastened. Deactivating it silences both alerts while the reminder may still function in other forms.
• Allows customization of safety alerts for a quieter cabin or keeps them active for maximum safety. REMEMBER: ALWAYS WEAR YOUR SEATBELT WHILE DRIVING!

Additional oil level menu coding in the instrument cluster

• This feature activates the engine oil level menu on the instrument cluster, displaying real-time oil level information directly on the dashboard. You can monitor oil levels without opening the hood and receive alerts when oil is low or requires attention.
• Enhances convenience and vehicle maintenance, allowing timely oil monitoring and preventing potential engine damage due to low oil levels.

*Available in selected models with oil level sensor

Enjoy striking effects with our LED headlights

• This feature activates strobe or “Knight Rider” effects in LED headlights. The strobe effect creates a flashing light pattern, while the “Knight Rider” effect mimics the iconic moving light pattern from the “Knight Rider” series. Both enhance the vehicle’s visual appeal and create a distinctive, eye-catching look.
• Ideal for giving your vehicle a unique and dynamic visual effect. This feature operates in real-time via MBito key and app control. Please use it safely and in accordance with traffic regulations.

*For models with Full-LED headlights 631/632/640/641/642

Needle sweep effect coding on instrument cluster startup

• Enhances interior aesthetics and provides a visually appealing, modern touch to the dashboard.

Apple CarPlay / Android Auto activation coding

• This feature integrates Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with the vehicle’s infotainment system. Once activated, you can connect your smartphone and access apps, navigation, music, and more directly on the vehicle’s display.
• Increases connectivity and convenience, allowing safer, user-friendly smartphone functionality via a larger vehicle display and controls.

*Only for eligible head units with current software

Fuel remaining display activation
