[ECU Advanced] → [MB BENZ] → [DASHBOARD] → [S-CLASS] → [W221]

2. Tap [Guide] and carefully read the function introduction and menu descriptions to understand the operation process and precautions.

3. Next, retrieve [ECU Info.] to confirm the hardware and software part numbers of the dashboard, ensuring compatibility before proceeding.

Step 2: Back Up the EEPROM Data

Before performing any modifications, it is strongly recommended to back up the original data.

1. Select [EEPROM Backup]

2. Tap [Start] to begin backing up the data

3. You can customize the filename of the saved backup file for easier identification later

This backup file is critical and will be used in the following steps, so make sure it is saved correctly.

Step 3: Virginize the Used Dashboard

Now, execute the [Virgin Dashboard] function.

1. Carefully select the correct backup file

2. Double-check the file before confirming

3. Tap [OK] to proceed

Once completed, the used dashboard will be restored to factory (virgin) status:

1. The mileage will be initialized to its initial display state
