On very rare occations (for some unknown reason having to do with the MBZ) the Dimsport handheld may not be able to upload to your ECU. Don't panic, nothing is wrong with your car or the loader. It's just won't accept the files. However there is still a method to take. Remove the ECU and have it bench tuned through the connector pins without breaking open the ECU. You do lose the convenience of the handloader, but you get a tune without cracking open the ECU.

I had same situation... I took a video and sent it to jerry, he replied and said it was supposed to be that way. Just plug it into your pc and upload the file.

Any word on what the changes between v3 and v4 are?
Also, check your PM for a message from me. I have asked both you and Jerry to re-send the v4 tune for the header set up, but haven't seen anything come through. The last time Jerry tried it would go out from his business account.
I'm trying to figure out if there was something wrong with the one that was sent and it didn't load or if there is a possible leak somewhere and my car is losing a large amount of horsepower.
I had the v4 tune that was sent to me loaded and I didn't run any faster than a tune only after I had the headers installed. It's almost like the tune wasn't there at all, but I know I loaded it.

This morning was my first chance to really drive it after I put the tune in because it has been pouring rain. So here is what I think of it with minimal testing.
I am now changing my cars name. She is no longer to be known as Black Betty. From this day forward she is a he and his name is Marshawn. As in Marshawn Lynch. Cos this car is now fully, FULLY, in Beast Mode. The pull is just.....phenomenal. The shifting seems sharper too. All season tires, cold asphalt, traction control full on and I hit chirps shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear.
My 7 year old son Ben is in the back seat reading on the way to school and he looks up
and says "what did you do to your car Dad? It feels even faster". When a 7 year olds butt dyno lights up you know you are on to something. And spare me the lecture about hitting the hammer with the kids in the car. My top speed was not outrageous - it was all about the acceleration.
Anyways, if you take your car caffeinated you better be too cos this is what its gonna look like through your windshield:
Best damn coin Ive spent on a car in a loooong time.

I got EUROCHARGED.
For one, let me tell you, NO ONE beats eurocharged's customer service. Jerry replied to my emails almost instantly to all my stupid annoying questions. Even late at night.
Now, for the car. All i can say is, you havn't driven a c63 till it has gotten tuned. WOW. I have conti 5ps and the car begs for traction. Maybe it's just my tires, well im pretty sure its just my tires, but with the tune the car can't hook till up to 30 mph, it goes side to side crazy with power. I got the v4 and can't really compare it to the previous v3 but shifts are very comfortable and seem very right. Before the car was kind of jerky on downshifts in M mode but now it's really smooth. The pull is phenomenal. Did a couple races with previous people i've raced stock and lets just say i've added atleast 2 car lengths to what i used to win by. Throttle response in c and s mode is much more responsive, hated the lag before so it has been on M mode ever since i can remember. The car used to seem slower from 70+ MPH before but now it just keeps going. Reached 140 on a road i used to only hit 120 on before. All in all, if youre looking for a tune, eurocharged is the way to go. The car has finally woken up from it's slumber and ready to eat some asphalt.
More to add, keep finding out new things as i drive the car. PADDLE shifter response is quicker. Exhaust note is definitely louder, idk if its just in my head but i could swear it's louder than before.

I currently have a PowerChip tune. I don't think they're around anymore and I'm not sure if my tune is locked or not. How could I tell and if it were locked, would a Eurocharged tune reflash that?
Thanks.
Thanks.

So after a particularly poor dyno result I wanted to flash the origional map back onto my car to compare results.
I had no problems flashing the tune onto the car origionally but when I tried to put the standard map back on I got as far as the progress bar and nothing happened. I left it for a few minutes but no progress so I had to abort.
Next time I tried the tuner was saying I had to use the recovery function due to the failed attempt before I assume. It went through the dash on and off process and to the writing stage then displayed an error saying invalid security code
Anyone had similar or have any advice please?

Working on it this week! I am waiting for another file from the Eurocharged guys. I will tune it and then go back to stock to compare if everything works right and then set the 91 octane tune as standard going forward. Longer term I will try the 100 octane tune as well. Car has no mods other than charcoal delete. I have the Wiestec catch-can also but have not had time to figure out the install but that is not a power mod anyway.

Okay I spent the last hour playing with the 91 octane tune on my 2012 P31. I put it back to stock and drove it then back to the tune. Going back and forth you can tell a difference. The shifts are quicker and more positive both up and down. 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd are noticeably different in all of the settings but very noticeable in S+. The car sounds a bit different as well like it is running a little more aggressive, improvement on an already great sounding car.
I took my daughter to school and she said "the car feels like it is going faster" so that was my independent butt dyno test.
When I get the 100 octane tune I will give an update. No planned time at any track any time soon but will see how it feels on a couple of empty roads in the desert.
