Problems

There have been other cars with a brake assist malfunction error and the car has gone limp. That has only come up on tuned cars (on the forums at least). I've not heard of any stock car cutting off power on the highway and going limp yet...

Not true. Stock vehicle's have done it. I saw a couple threads on mbworld and benz boost with this issue.

Weird how some members are saying that you should continue driving on it and it might sort itself out. I had my car tuned in March and never had an issue until sometime in July... and then it got worse day by day. Not sure if my situation was unique but for all of those saying this isn't the tune, there's way too many similar stories on this forum that would say otherwise.

I am sure you could have easily fixed your issue and enjoyed your tune.

Oh okay, I know this one. This one is related to brake sensor, it does not throw the car in limp. There is a update for this one and it fixes it. We have 20 guys in our C43 whatsapp group, so we have a wide range of data there, haha. One of the stock cars had this issue as well. It was a quick fix. Jason's car did not go into limp. Just the active brake assist function was disabled.

I'm sure this will get sorted out, but please don't rule out it being a tune problem because it does not help the community AT ALL. These platform and tuning options will only approve as people work with the tuners to work out any bugs.

That is a clear sign of a mechanical issue. Software issues occur instantly. If you car drives fine for awhile and then all of a sudden has an issue, that is a mechanical failure. Regardless of AMR or EC or OE, if it was the software, you would have had an issue ASAP. Do you know what your codes were?
I am sure you could have easily fixed your issue and enjoyed your tune.

I hope OP will give us more info than telling us that he was just giving her the "dinnah". Like what speed and gear he was in.
Yes I know some of you guys are rock solid and stable. But each car takes the tune differently, this is a proven fact. May be one is triggering the sensor while the other one isn't. Someone saying I am 100% stable with zero issues does not solve anything. I have already helped a tuner sort out a pretty big problem just by giving feedback to them and documenting how to replicate the problem.

Off topic, and I don't know the situation with your car. But it's worth you purchasing V2 and seeing how your car reacts. I lent my car to EC Canada and they really worked on making V2 a better product (with the help of Jerry from Houston). Good luck.

Before you apply any tune, make sure Mercedes has applied all updates to your car (there was a fuel system update, some cars a transmission software update). Drive around for a bit, give it the "dinnahs" in stock and make sure there are no issues with the car. Then you can start your tuning process again.

You can call and see if there are any updates - just provide them your VIN. I don't think they do the module updates unless you identify there's an issue though...

So recently I’ve had my car tuned be AMR an ever since there’s been 3 check engine lights an 3 times my cars lost all power. Can’t do anything till you come to a complete stop. And even then the car is spitting and sputtering really bad. I’ve dropped it off and the dealer has replaced a sensor and now are ordering pins for a connector. I’m still not convinced this is going to fix my issue. Is it the tune? Anyone else with amr tune have issues. It only happens when I give her the dinnah an tooling on it pretty good. Any input would be greatly appreciated attached are codes that pop up. Thanks again.

Your car had a problem before the tune, most likely an electrical issue, tuning a car with an existing problem did not help either. I would flash the car back to stock and fix all the problems before blaming the tune, the only thing you can blame AMR for is tuning a car with a problem.....

I want to know what software updates are on my car from the factory.. is there any way to find out without getting the dealer involved? Is there a website where I can enter my vin to tell me?

I will just keep this here for reference, according to what he is describing about giving the car a dinner, I think the car is throwing the P061A or P061B code. If anyone is working towards a fix, this is what should be addressed I guess. Got it from an Italian tuner's website. Bless google translate.TORQUE MONITORING issues - 3 type of solutions
We noticed many customers are struggling with torquemonitoring issues after tuning a car.
We offer 3 kind of solutions for this:
The notorious Mercedes Benz Delphi DCM3.2, CRD2, CRD3,
As you can read, solution number 3 would be the best way to approach this. You just hope that your tuner is not lazy and did not go for for option 1 or 2, haha.

- deactivation of torquemonitoring system
- deactivation of torquemonitoring errors P061a P061b, etc.
- calibrating torquemonitoring system so it matches the new torque request, many times also correcting to realistic torque request. This solution is the most time consuming solution and is obviously the best way to deal with this problem, exactly like OEM does.
