Need help with C63S ECU tuning + Akrapovic exhaust

Hello all,

is there different version ECU for the C63S?

I have 2015 C63S that i'm planning to do ECU tune and Akrapovic exhaust. Exhaust installed with no issue. I have the CMD boot device. I tried to read the ECU and send the file to the tuner but I have been always getting error message. When i contacted the tuner I was told some C63S comes with different version ECU that is not readable yet. I want to confirm that

When I contacted CMD i was told. " it seems that the processor type installed on your ECU is different from others.
For this reason i asked you if you could send it to us... in order to study it."


can someone share with some details from their experience?

What tuner is this? I remember on my e92 there were several different ECU types, so I'm not surprised that you may have a different type, but for the tuner to "study" your car's ECU -- doesn't inspire much confidence.

Velos has already developed a tune for your vehicle and it's gains are massive +109 bhp // +141 lb-ft of Torque.

If you'd like more info and pricing on this give me a holler. This is the best tune our for this W205 platform period.
