2019 compatible ASR module
Just got mine delivered and fitted to my 2019 and very happy to say it has the same effect as the prior one on my 2017. They've altered the module in appearance slightly but other than that it's all familiar. The unit you need for a 2019 is the RX2. I'll get some sound clips together later and share them here.
This really is a no brainer mod!

Hi, do you think this would this work with the pre facelift 2018? Tried the bypass on my July 18 and they wouldn’t work and well documented the asr wouldn’t work on an 18 plate. Would this module sort it? And yes, post some vids please.

I wondered that too but their page lists only the facelift as compatible. It leaves me curious what was different about the MY18 cars...

Is this where you got it?

Does it need to be activated every time you enter the car or will it stay activated until you deactivate it.
Also if anyone has a video with the ASR module on a facelift c63s please share it! I'm interested in purchasing but would like to hear it first!
Thanks!

I spoke to the ASR module guys and the rx2 is fully programmable and is confirmed to work on 2019. I’ve got a UK spec and have ordered one (they’re £299, not a huge cost in the grand scheme owning an AMG) so I’ll let you know when I have it and tested.
Problem with videos is its impossible to gather what it sounds like and I feel that about the car generally. People on here complain about the sound on the 2019 but when you’re in the driving seat and feel the thunder through your bones it sounds absolutely phenomenal to me. Crackles and pops on demand would be nice but would require extensive work that I’d be worried about with a warranty that is likely to be needed for one reason or another).

So i just bought an ASR for the facelift 2019 and to be fair it does exactly what it says - it keeps the valves open all the time, closed all the time or standard OEM mode depending on how you set it and it takes 2 minutes to install. I’m happy it does that so when I switch from sport+ to comfort the exhaust stays open without having to hit the dash button again.
As far as sound... I believe on the 2017 it makes a big difference in low rpms. What I would say is that on the 2019 it is hard to my ears to tell any difference from when the OEM dash exhaust button is pushed. My thoughts are that on the 2019 because the car is so quiet anyway that pushing the OEM dash factory button opens the valves all the time anyway.
So overall it’s better and I more convenient plug and play mod and it means your exhaust is always as loud as it can be. But in volume (or theatrics) there’s little to no difference to me and I drive with the windows down all the time!

Anyone with a 2019 facelift in the Midlands, UK? Seems to be some polarising opinions on this, so I think I'll be keeping my cash in my pocket until I can hear one for myself. (Or spend it on a weekend I'll never remember).

I installed the Renntech version a few days ago but it does the same thing.
The sound is much louder and deeper between 1k and 3k RPM in both comfort and S+.
From 3k to 4k RPM in S+ I think it’s a bit louder but it’s really hard to tell.
Above 4k there’s no change as expected.
I’m on the fence as to whether it’s really worth it to be honest, but when you’re going under 35mph on residential roads it does sound better.
