AFAIK you can't tune the TCU directly through the OBDII port. That's why Weistec has you send it to them for tuning - the TCU is inside the transmission. The topic has been discussed: https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...-location.html
So whatever this is doing, it's not doing what they want you to think it's doing. Typical Vivid/AP scumbaggery.

And if they had made some sort of magical breakthrough with TCU tuning via OBDII, you would have seen a post here or anywhere else for that matter promoting it in big multicolored letters. But they haven't because they know it will get absolutely shredded under any sort of scrutiny. If I had to venture a wild guess, I'd bet this is the same thing as the "Sprint Booster" garbage that increases the throttle signal sensitivity (https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...t-booster.html)
Anyway, I guess they prefer to just have it on their website and prey on the uninformed. Classy.

Yes, BLKROKT is right. I even shipped my tcu to weistec for the tcu upgrade from Tokyo. They physically alter the valvebody which can't be done viaOBDII.
