Busa86 and Vadim had issues getting a refund for their tune from powerchip he also had a problem with Kleemans tune not working however they didn't give him a hassle with a refund. LET ended up doing what both couldn't accomplish. I would check with LET to see what they would be willing to offer. I have not seen c63s with a LET tune as of yet though.

What were the technical issues on a flash?

I sent an email off to an LET vendor on E90 post to see what they are offering.

You can also reach them here under the name Eurocharged or Jerry@let IIRC They also offer significantly lower prices than other tunes. You also dont have to send your ecu out or drive anywhere further than your nearest dyno shop. They send you the programming tool and you hook it up and you can get a custom tune remotely. You can actually do it at home as well if you dont want a custome one.

Does Rennech offer the RAT for the C? I know it is a big hit on the E/CLSs and most tuners are going to having it. That would make tuning much more convenient and may also help decide which tuner to go with.

Unfortunately, no RAT for the C63 AMG.

That sounds just like the method they are using on the 335s. The user pays a deposit for their laptop and goes to the closest dyno facility for a custom tune. They quoted me a price of $900 so yes it is significantly lower than any other tune to date. Thanks for the info...

To your specific question, "IDK."

That said, LET/Eurocharged has always been very good about keeping the forums "in the loop" for cars they've worked on and the corresponding results - most recently, Busa's S65 and MRAMG1's S600. So... if LET/Eurocharged's been tuning 63's, I think somebody there (Jerry, Jake, Tony, Wayne, etc.) would've taken the time to let us know. Since they haven't, it's probably reasonable to deduce that they haven't tuned any 63's (yet). Maybe they're developing it currently, maybe not... but if they'd tuned any M156's and achieved favorable results, one would think the results would've been posted/shared with the MBW community.
