C63 AMG Edition 507
AMG Performance Center

I was wondering is anyone else has this problem but I really want to find a solution to it. As in the motortrend ignition video they show a AMG Performance Center which is avaiable to only Edition 507's. I myself have a 507 and can't seem to find this menu. I have looked online but I cannot find anything on it. I asked my local Mercedes-Benz dealership about this and they had not heard a single thing about this menu. I live in Toronto if that helps as the dealership said that it may be a Europe only addition. I would like to find a way to get this menu as I would really like to have it in the car even if I have to buy the program and get it installed.

Skip to 6:10 for the part where he talks about the menu

That is a nice option but if you don't have it as a original package it's my understanding that it is cost prohibitive to add it.

If you want something that is IMO just about as nice and has the ability to dump data to a spreadsheet get the DashCommand app for your iPhone/iPad or ? and add a wireless OBD2 reader.
That app provides very similar real time data that as mentioned can be data logged.

One note, if you use Apple products you'll need a bluetooth OBD2 reader. I use one called iCar.

Here are a few screenshots when I was testing it my Subie.
This app offers WAY more data than the AMG Performance Center.

For the best accelerometer data the phone needs to be firmly mounted.

I also have a 2014 and remember seeing this option long before I purchased it.

It's listed as a option in this 2014 ordering guide found in the first post here.

I have an android and just got this app and it looks good. Do I need a connector to connect the data or can I just have the phone connected to the car via Bluetooth?

With a iPhone bluetooth is the way to collect data. With a Andriod I'm fairly sure both Bluetooth and Wifi work when paired with a wireless OBDII reader.
I use the iCar reader.

Also, if you haven't yet gotten the instructions.
Somewhat helpful.

Once set up enter transmission ratios and other vehicle specific data.
Your ratios should be.
