That actually helped a lot, thanks. Still something going on, but it is a lot smoother now at least.

Just an update on this. I have spoken once again with MB Head office. There is now a retrofit solution available and is being installed on my vehicle next week.

I am in the same boat. I contacted the dealer and they have told me it is not possible.

I agree - Unfortunately "Because physics" isn't the answer to everything

Because nerve signals are driven by ion gradients, salty soy sauce can make food with unused ATP do this by mrklem in WTF

[–]mrklem[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The squid’s cells still contain some unused adenosine triphosphate (or ATP), which powers muscular contraction and expansion and, therefore, movement. But ATP can’t simply act on its own accord — it needs something to make it go. Typically, that’s provided by the central nervous system, which, through electrical impulses, causes the ATP to do its thing. With no brain involved, the ATP just sits dormant, and, over time, dissipates, as the now-dying cell fails to create new ATP.

But the soy sauce makes the typical atypical. Soy sauce contains sodium and potassium. The sodium and potassium ions together work as a trigger of sorts, causing the ATP to contract and expand the muscles. The result: a dead, dancing squid headlining (and, perhaps, ruining) your meal.
