[Feature Request] Adaptive Brake Lights #35

Description

Obligatory I'm not sure this is something you would feature in OVD, since you did say this would stay away from SCN Coding to avoid potential copyright infringements (although I think this request isn't exactly SCN coding).

I also have an '06 w203 and there is a feature that I would love to get on it which is the Adaptive Brake Lights which flash under heavy braking and then turn on the hazards when the vehicle comes to a complete stop which can be turned off by pressing the hazards button or after resuming drive when going over 7mph. This is how it is programmed in the w221 onwards or w211 model year 2007 onwards (code 807).

To know if a vehicle does come with this feature from factory, you run the VIN on a VIN decoder, and there should be an optional with the code K11.

I have looked everywhere and it seems w203's never came with this option, and all I can find are those 3rd party hardware that make the 3rd stop flash everytime one brakes, even if it is just light braking.

Perhaps this is possible to code with Arduino?

I have also searched every menu and submenu in DAS to make sure it wasn't deactivated, and my w203 (code 806) at least, doesn't have the option to activate this anywhere (usually in the rear SAM, according to various forums from other Mercedes models).

Congrats for the amazing project, and keep it coming!
