This is going to be a headache as I can see it already. I'm just thinking of just trading this car in for and MB GLS.

How much of all this shop time will find its way into the vehicle's Carfax?

Yeah that's what I'm afraid of also. Car is always already in the shop for something wrong from AC being fixed 3x already, sway bar links going bad, wrenches left in suspension area

So some good news today.

I got linked up with a coder in UK who coded all modules to factory. No issues or errors at the moment

Cluster was in "transport" mode, which means before car ships from factory which was throwing the red dot. It has left now.

Now if dealer messes up anything, it's totally on them now

Just be careful during your conversation with the service manager. They can still remember your car, ... and you, and if they have a record that you manipulated the software, coming back and showing them magically fixed cluster issue can only solidify their belief that all the issues were caused by you coding the car.

I just want to know how you came up with that analogy
