So I applied the tune the other day and then used the following trick for resetting the ECU that I read about.

It really felt like the ECU completely reset and wiped the tune.

Here is a link to the OP https://mbworld.org/forums/w211-amg/...set-works.html.

Basically it's the following:

1. Turn the ignition key to the on (not start) position.

2. Press the gas pedal to the floor and hold for five seconds.

3. Turn the key to the "off" position (don't remove the key), then release the gas pedal.

4. Wait at least two minutes for ECU to reset.

Can anyone verify if this trick really does reset the ECU back to factory settings? Maybe Eurocharged will know.

All I can say is that I flashed the tune to the car, applied the trick and the car no longer felt like it had power on demand. It was more like press down on gas pedal, wait for tv to turn on and then go. I never did like the little bit of lag after pressing down on the pedal cruising at highway speeds.

I drove it for a bit, reapplied the tune and BAM!!!!! The strong, crisp shifting was back and the lag disappeared. It makes me really appreciate the EC tune even more now.

the pedal reset will not affect the tune, but will effect the adaptations the car has made to your driving style. Basically do the reset, then drive it like you stole it!

Hi guys, i have the radius entry key and a brabus tune and want to do the reset as described above.

Problem is i cant use the key as its radius and as such has no key hole...

Any ideas??

Take the on off button cover off u can just pull it off

Try pushing the on/off button twice without putting your foot on the brake. That will put in the "on" position without starting the engine.
