I would guess he got a AMG firmware disc from EPC and flashed his car with a star unit. Or at least that's my take from the google translation.

Only for information.
I took part in that thread on MT and I made this mod.
Enabling the AMG menu has nothing to do with SD developer mode or DAS or whatever, you have to ensolder the Eprom and adjust the hex parameters manually.

The relevant feature of that mod is the shown oil temp imho.

Wow... that pretty hard core for such a small improvement.

No kidding. If I could unlock the AMG sport shifting modes, and get S+ etc in my car it would be worth a go. Or the more relax TC settings.

How did you guys learn so much about the programming in MB's? I consider myself pretty tech knowledgeable I have my BSEE. Stuff like this is way over my head. Do some of you guys work for Mercedes?

Let me clarify since Wilhelm asked for an explanation. The Website warning my ******** 360 gave ( "This is a known ****** webpage") concerns the Website only, it does not not suggest their software product is ******. Their Website IT person probably has not applied for an SSL Certificate or has been pegged with spoofing complaints possibly and may be a USA market only problem. To reiterate the" mbtool" product is not ******** based on this Website warning alone. Wilhelm tells me the SSL Cert. has been applied for and he'll check out my protection software's reason for a Red Warning Pop Up..
