I would say get a new tune! Jeremy is very unreliable! I do not like the way they handle business. Very unprofessional. I would say go with something else. I have a Gintani tune and my car flys (literally I feel like I could take off lol). Completely support Gintanis work and customer service with cars.

Advantage I saw for using OE Tuning is the guy grew up in Brisbane. Figure then he understands the differences in our fuels compared to yours.
My tune has loaded/unloaded fine. It can cough a bit on idle when warming up, but figure maybe he'd just taken some fuel out to help with economy..

Why are you surprised bro? OE, MHP, same deal. It's obvious that this "company" is sketchy and has no business ethics. I have also read some stories about Jeremy stealing his tunes from his ex employer when he launched OE.
Personally, if I wanted a tune I would stick with Renntech, Weistec or Kleeman. Rest is kinda garbage.

Initial (pre-sale) customer service was outstanding! Following the sale (upon installation of the tune) customer service was still stellar! After installation, customer service is still unreal! A+ vendor with great customer service and a product that has been backed up by the quality and performance promised!
As I have said earlier, no regrets!

Few months later, this thread popped up: https://mbworld.org/forums/w211-amg/...ror-story.html and proved that I wasn't the only one.
I learned to observe and draw my own conclusions when it comes to this kind of stuff.
There will always be fanboys with impaired judgment wherever you go.

I am running OE and no problems....been over a year with it on....when I call or email they reply....I was just exchanging emails with customer service there about potentially selling my tunes (5 in total) but they said it was non-transferrable? Guess the locked my programmer and wanted $150 to unlock but tunes could not be transferred so basically useless if I plan to sell it. This exchange was 2 days ago and they responded very quickly...may not be jeremy doing the responding.

I would still go with OE Tuning in the future. Customer support (with me) is pretty good.

It's not Jeremy who's responding. For normal tasks that MAKE THEM MONEY, they respond well. Once you as a customer have a problem, good luck getting a hold of Jeremy. Ask me how I know... (I used to be a customer, a very very understanding customer of theirs... Ben@OE is/was great but his hands are usually tied and Jeremy offers no support to him and to customers). Based on my personal experience, I will NEVER let OE or Jeremy EVER touch another car of mine.

Just so you guys know, whilst I had the tune the car ran great. I had no regrets until I had issues, this is when all hell broke loose.
I contacted Jeremy who was in Melbourne (Australia), he was kind enough to fly into Sydney and see my car, I am sure he done some ECU flashes here as well.
My SA allowed Jeremy to play around with the ECU, after he did this the car failed to even start. Jeremy then removed the ECU and took it away for aprrox 10 days. He then returned the ECU and stated that it would be fine! Well the ECU was now fully dead.
I wasted another week waiting for Jeremy to do something, he then had my car towed to an independent Mechanic where he spent two days programming my ECU, the car was then sent back to the dealer and the instructions were for Mercedes to re-program the ECU with their files. They spent three days attempting to recode the ECU.
This whole process wasted 4 weeks of my time, all along I had to hire a car and on top of this I had to pay the dealer for a new ECU and all the labor that was involved in fixing my car.
I know I could have purchased a ECU from the USA, however I was advised that if I did this I would not be warranted anymore by Mercedes. These cars cost over $170,000 here and I did not want to risk anything further by saving a few thousand dollars.

+1 on Eurocharged in the US.
A year after communication upgrading to V4 with a handheld purchase. I replied to a thread with Jerry asking if an updated tune is required for a secondary cat delete and he responded in 3 min.
