AMG performance media tweak

This is the option that can show hp/tq, oli temps, lap times etc. at any given time. Since mine is a regular C63 the max hp shows as 451 on the dial.

But since I have a tune/row box, 451 is no longer the correct number

I was just curious if anyone who has this option was able to go into the engineering menu and change/tweak this successfully? Don't know it its even possible!

Wait. How do you have performance media on a non-p61 spec car?

I did not spec the car (bought it used)... its a 2014 MY... has the AMG button in the center console... I can see hp/tq being produced based on throttle %, G meter, temps and so many other goodies
And the hp meter says 451hp is the max... so its definitely a regular C63.

I guess the AMG perf media was an available option for any FL car...

If you have a button on your center console that says "AMG" then your car has that option. Its usually to the right of the traction control button.

Don't need a 507 or Black Series, it was Optional Equipment code 255, AMG Performance Media, $2,500.

Awesome feature.

Roger that,...

Came in handy this past weekend as I was adjusting my tire pressure.

I over inflated a bit for Winter storage. Took it out this weekend as the warmer weather permitted, warmed the car up then did laps around the neighborhood elementary school as I gradually stopped and backed off the TP until i hit 44/42.

Probably my favorite feature of the car so far

All of the FL cars have that tire pressure monitoring.
