'19 C43 Tune

Hey,

So I recently got a new car. How do I tune it? Can I tune it? So I leased the car. Are tunes disallowed with leases? Do I need any other parts when I do a tune? Can I hide the tune by going to an Indy shop? What are good tunes out there for the '19 C43? Do tunes ruin engines?

Thank you for your help in making my decision.

Are tunes disallowed with leases - I think you can just return it as stock once the lease is up.

Do tunes ruin engines - They accelerate wear n tear of almost everything related to the power-train.

Can I hide the tune by going to an Indy Shop - The dealer is the 1 who will detect the tune. How hard they look and whether or not you even gave them a reason to look will determine if your tune is detected. Generally people et piggybacks who are worried about their warranty.

What are good tunes - EC, AMR, BMS/JB1/4, Racechip, OE, Techtec are all popular options and honestly all deliver about the same level of results when comparing remap vs remap or piggyback vs piggyback. EC/AMR/BMS are the most popular.

Which tunes will go undetected by MB? I plan on taking my car to an Indy shop for maintenance anyway. Thanks. And these are '19 tunes I'm talking about, older threads might be dated. Stop whining. ;-)

There is minimal info/feedback out regarding tunes on '19s. Cars have only been landing for a few months en masse. The principles of tuning are not new and undiscovered however. All of the answers to your broad sweeping questions are available with a cursory trip down Google Lane or by using the "Search this Thread" feature of the forum. Threads with good questions don't sit for two weeks with next to zero feedback...
