Hardly a pay-to-play argument. Not a single person asking the question has any illusions that tuning can cause additional undue stress/wear. What's not clear is whether or not this mod causes undue HARM to the overall system. Worrying about copying the mod is completely bunk...it's solely about differentiation from the heard to grab cash for as long as they can. You're absolutely right...it's America...THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT!!! Props to them, honestly.

What's wrong though is completely ignoring the concerns that we have for our cars and the community as a whole. I've said it before...no one is asking for the lines of code or screenshots of how to do what they're doing. We just want an understanding of what's happening with this mod in practice. If the answer was "Hey, we determined the C43 system has the same capability of the 4matic+ system in the E63S...we figured out a way to allow XYZ to happen so you could perform a line-lock type burnout. Have fun!" or "Hey, we figured out how we can manipulate the TC so there's no power sent to the front under XYZ circumstances, with +/- ABC affect on the drivetrain, use at your own risk" everyone would STFU and move on. But what do we get? Crickets and sheep defending the silence to protect their elitist insecurities with the air scoop comments above. Until someone provides a response, enjoy your time-bomb transmissions.

 

Thank you for your kind words and wonderful review.


Though you state others are asking, you are the only one that seems to be "badgering", "trolling", "bumping" and going out of there way to cause unnecessary drama. Those that were interested made a simple phone call and discussed with us their concerns over the phone. There was no moderator asking for information so lets not continue to throw misinformed fuel onto the fire .

The reason we have not jumped on your question, is due to the fact that you have never had anything positive to say in regards our company. You have never used us but seem to always have to make a comment in a negative manor towards any efforts we make to the vehicle. A good example was you going out of your way to bump a positive customer review thread to get your question answer when the thread had nothing to do with your question.


Here is another example:

A positive customer review of him enjoying his features and vehicle, in which you decided to put your negative commentary to use, yet again. You seem to never have anything good to say about us but yet everything to say when we are mentioned. We have never dealt with you and again, because of your past and present comments, is why your questions go overlooked.



To answer some of these questions and concerns, anything done to any vehicle creates "wear-and-tear". Beating on your vehicle every day, in stock form, causes wear. To state something causes "no wear" is a guarantee NO ONE can give you. We know clients who do not use launch control on there C63S, even stock, because they fear something wearing. If you go light to light, launching you car every day, that will cause wear. We can go on and on with this with any vehicle, racing, conditions, parts, etc.... This is why modifying your vehicle is labeled as "aftermarket" and parts that are put your vehicle, something as simple as a piggyback, air filter, cat-back exhaust, and others are labeled "off-road use only".

In regards to "Modes", a "Mode" is activated under specific conditions. No different then any "Mode" on a stock vehicle. For example, lets take our "2-Step" mode. The vehicle would need to be in "neutral" or "park", then under wide open throttle (WOT), the vehicle will go past its factory 3500-3800rpm to our preset RPM to initiate "2-Step" mode. This is a condition. Formula -> "Neatural/Park" + "WOT (98% TPS or more)" + "over 3500rpm" = "2-Step" Mode.

To conclude your question, a MODE is a set of conditions that must be met to create a specific preset outcome.


If anyone has any further questions, please do not hesitate to give a call!

You addressed the definition of mode and your two step, but still not the "burnout mode" So you are saying i can call and ask how the burnout mode is done and you will tell me but cannot tell us on how it can be done on the forums or this thread specifically? Just trying to get clarity as i am sure a lot of people research before purchasing your tune or any manufacturers tune that is. It wouldn't hurt, but by all means you have every right to keep this information to yourself and company.

 

Did someone at AMR run off with your wife? Let it go

 

If the same people are always popping in to defend a tune or a tuners service I don't see why a customer or simply someone inquiring about a feature should have to keep quiet. It's not like it's not a legitimate question. Isn't the forum a place to exchange advice, experiences, and vehicle info?

I could care less really, but wouldn't it have been just as easy for AMR to explain the burnout mode as it was to explain the two step (that nobody asked about)? IMO vendors should spend more time addressing their product instead of attempting to silence naysayers.

 

Let it go? Why? These are just questions and concerns is all. As they have mentioned we can call and ask how things are done. I am just asking for it to be told on the forums (this thread specifically) so people can be aware. People, including myself really want to know how this can be done. If they have figured this out without causing harm to a cars drive train and transmission that has a FIXED ratio of 31/69 it will be a breakthrough. Maybe they can have people switch over to their tune?I wouldn't personally but maybe others. Maybe they are hindering business by not telling the community how this is done. Or business is just pretty damn good and people just take their word for everything. I think people are mostly just interested to know how this is done and not having answers and selling something like this for such a high price tag of 3200 does raise a few eyebrows. Not knocking AMR one bit, just interested to know how, but as mentioned before he has every right to keep this to himself and company.

 

 

i want to know more about this tune that gets the C43 0-60 in 3.3's !! I just saw it on amrperformance instagram post. According to the post, it seems as if the claim is this RV3.1 ECU software upgrade can drastically drop the 0-60 this much? It does not list any other mods or upgrades. That's a hell of a claim if they are saying just a software upgrade can do that.

 

I'm new to this thread, have never said anything positive or negative about AMR and I would like to know how this Burnout Mode works please

Thanks

 

I do not think you will get an answer from them. They seem to read and like everything but never respond to this question. Your best bet is going to call them and maybe then they will tell you.

 

Lucky any of you guys who blows a transfer case thanks to a tune. OEM Mercedes engineering would kill them stock on the w204.
