AMG Performance Media retrofit?
Hello,
I am sorry if this is a repost. I tried using the search option but no help there. Do you know if it is possible to install the AMG performance media on a "regular" 2012 c63?

Probably not because you have many sensors like Gmeter , actual power used , tire pressures etc..... Sounds way to hard to retrofit it. I could be wrong because AMG themselves offered SLS customers to retrofit it

Let me know what they say about the AMG performance media. I'd also be interested since my BS didn't come with it. As for the paint job, I'm sure that will come with a hefty price tag. I plan on getting mine wrapped with a satin matte wrap. It'll be cheaper, still look good, be easier to repair and maintain, and isn't permanent.

Got an answer from AMG today. First off, the repainting of the car would cost 20k € and a little more so i booked a time for a nice matte white wrap. Car will be wrapped on july 17th-19th. Posting pics then. He said retrofitting is possible, but he could not immiediately give me a price on that one. I'll keep you guys posted.

Your car is diamond white metallic. Get a clear matte paint protection film, which is 4x thicker than vinyl, and since it's clear, it won't discolor from heavy stretching. Something like XPEL Stealth or Prestige Satinguard. Your base white color will show, along with the metallic flakes, but it'll be matte, resulting in a Satin finish. The result is a futuristic storm trooper look, very badass. IMO it looks even better than the factory matte white.
Find a shop that does it and tell them to get a sample piece applied on the hood. You'll thank me later.

Hello
I retrofit the AMG PERFORMACE STUDIO to one of W204 FL C 180 CGI and W212 E 350 CDI vehicle.
Its so simple to do it.
You are ordering the AMG PERFORMANCE STUDIO control unit and make the connections to the Can B, Can E and CAN A lines.
Then you are making software upgrade with the special softwares to Comand Head Unit with the Mercedes Telematics DVD 07/2014 , then everything works.
( After update Comand thinks that its retrofitted on SL Vehicle )
If your retrofitted vehicle has not got tire pressure system, only you can not see that.
Other functions are working.
Tire Pressure system is retrofit is so simple too.

Sounds very interesting, I am also really interested in retrofitting the AMG Performance Media in my 2012 C63. How much do the parts cost? The software update can only be performed by an authorized dealership?
Thank you for the post, I am very curious now...
