I just had Eurocharge reflash my ecu via internet without putting it on the dyno. It was a very easy process and takes about 30 minutes.

Results:

WOW! The tune woke the car up. The power from 2k-5k has a very noticable increase and it gained some up top. The throttle response is instant and the car still drives great!
The car now feels like it wants to "run away" from you when driving.

The modifications on my car are: K&N filters, resonator and secondary cat removal, and x-pipe.

I highly recommend this tune!

Thanks,

Great to hear! Thats the same setup I had on my C55. Plan on putting it on the dyno? Aren't you the one that has some brabus parts on your c55?

Did we really just make another thread on this?! lol glad you like it! Dyno or no dyno the power band changes are noticeable.

I made another thread because the others required one to search through 10 pages in order to find an answer to their question.

I have been waiting a while to do this... Bad OBD cables,etc. ...the stars may just align for me tonight. I'm glad to hear it was worth it!! Enjoy

The change is huge. I remember when i first got my tune and S/C pulley, the difference was astonishing.

Quickvr4

The best way to describe it is it makes it feel how the car should have been from the factory, really snappy like a race car.

ya ive been waiting over 2.5 months to get my tune, first i had the wrong tuning cable...then it took them 2 months to get their correct tuning cable to me...finally call back yesterday, and im told they dont have a shipping order with my name on it (so i wonder what happened to my credit card info that i gave the guy on the phone 2 months ago)...needless to say, I am quite dissapointed with the customer service from anyone in their shop outside management (although i even was dealing with jake, and he never even bothered to look to see if there was an order in my name, rather just kept feeding me BS excuses why i haven't received it yet)...nonetheless the new guy i talked to claimed to ship it out today so we'll see soon i hope

ghiaguy

were you getting a bunch of "......" when IDing the ECU? I'm on my second cable and it's not doing any better
Thats about where I am.. Pushing 3 months too

Quickvr4

I must have been lucky because i ordered it online and 3 days later received the cable. Setup the appointment for the tune on the following Thursday and everything went smoothly with 0 issues.

If Ghiaguy, they have been sending you faulty cables?

MBfinatic

Today again?

AMG3.2

Wow this sucks. You'd think a $100 cable would be a quality piece...

ghiaguy

Yeah, they really aren't. It looks like I will need a third one.

Quickvr4

Ghiaguy, if you want you can borrow my cable. It worked flawlessly on my vehicle. I am in Southern California so it won't take long for shipping. Let me know.

ghiaguy

I may take you up on that, thanks very much for the offer.

Quickvr4

PM me your shipping info. I might be able to even send it out today.

ghiaguy

Long story short- Got my C55 ecu reflash done tonight via text walkthrough and a generously loaned cable.
The car is sharpened significantly, and worth every penny of that $400. It pulls like its seriously pissed off.

I second that. Seriously nice to do that after so much headache when trying to flash your ecu.

Any chance you can take a picture of this cable? I'm very interested to know what is needed for flashing our cars. And this tune is something I'm very interested in. But not if its going to take a few cables shipped back and forth to get the job done.

ghiaguy

they are just usb to OBDII cables, though i would only trust the ones shipped by Eurocharged. the secret sauce is this tune they tailor for your car & mods

speed7

But I thought maverik259 kept getting bad cables from Eurocharged?

ghiaguy

I'm sure that's the case. I had two bad ones and thankfully was able to borrow a working one. Eurocharged has been good about sending out replacements, though they have a lot of 'bad batches'. maverik may have gotten a cable included with the tune @ $399 like I did.
