TCU tune/software update, Pre MCT question

I'm about to get a ECU Tune but a few local C guys are telling me to try out a TCU tune before they do.

For the Auto trans not the MCT.

Just wanted some feed back on TCU tuning, if it's worth it or not, I haven't seen or can't find many reviews on this. (BIP, Eurocharged, Weistech etc...)

Also I was told I could go to the dealer and get the latest software for the trans, anyone know the code number or what that would be?

Coming from the M world it was easy to find all these kinds of things and just walk into the dealer and say "give me this _____ software, thanks".

Thanks in advance

So I guess this isn't worth it?

You need to remove the valve body to have the tranny tuned. No point in a car that has just a tune on it, more for guys With blowers or lots of mods.

What year C63?

The 2010 and up have throttle blipping and when I got my tune and cut the resonator out it was pretty aggressive, sounded fantastic.

Didn't speed up shifting though, you'll have to decide if the money is worth it if you want that, as you'll need an few other changes, not just a tune.
