Where to get programming codes for ecu Xentry?
I found an Indy that has star and Xentry. They do not have the communication ability but are able to flash codes. Does anyone know a reliable source that can provide the coding to modify the ecu/tcu? I know my terminology may be off but in lay terms, they can do everything but link up and request the codes from MB through their proprietary software. But if provided the codes can insert them.

The safest way to make a lasting change, on options added, is to have your cars datacard updated, and have an authorized dealer do it online. Sure it only works if your car has been modified to accept the new options, but it is not that expensive. If your indy has the right setup, a dealer can do it online. Else I recommend that you get your own DAS/Xentry, get it setup correct, and a dealer do the coding via team viewer.
Member @pmercury can do that, and set you up with a guy who does change your datacard, and do the online coding.

Options added? Do you mean like bolt on performance type stuff? My engine is stock. And is datacard the same as ecu? My local dealership is impossible to deal with. The secretary/service advisors have no idea of what I'm talking about and refuse to let me speak to a tech. I think that they think I'm just looking for s/w updates. They want $130 to have them "look at it" like I'm coming in for maintenance. Basically I would like the ecu flashed to the same specs as the c350. Or at the very least the code to allow the throttle to go past 80% max to 100% max. Because after much research I've found that's about the only difference in the m276 engine.
Then you better go to a tuner, and have him install a tune.
