I figured I'd put this out here as a simple DIY.
There's so many threads with folks finding out their AE has become inactive due to the actuator wire harnesses at the rear of the mufflers being damaged. This damage occurs either through chafing of the harness on the pinch welds through natural movement OR from when an owner or shop does an exhaust upgrade and the harness may have been moved/pulled too close to the pinch weld.
To avoid this on any 2018+ S550 with AE (or for those doing a retro AE upgrade), this little tip will prevent the AE harness chafing on the sharp edges of the frame/chassis pinch welds, or other similar areas along the route of those harnesses.
Purchase a roll of black door edge guard and place it over the pinch weld (or other areas of concern).
Similar to this product and make sure it’s the type with the adhesive inside the U-channel:
