You need to download and install latest firmware for 2020+ C63.
in the user settings, search for the firmware update option and look for the 2020+ C63 file.

Yes 2020+ and older models use different firmware, easy fix within the app via an update.

So I assume you would recommend it? Im not interested in running a ton more boost or race gas. I think I would maybe change exhaust and try the JB4, Thoughts? Im also told you can undo the tune and nobody would know you had it on, therefore keeping your warranty intact?

I recommend investing in the Bluetooth kit and mobile phone application to make life much easier. I’m probably going to try mixing e85 fuel to run a higher map and see If it’s worth it

Im down to get the bluetooth kit, but do I need it if Im not changing and playing with **** too much? How much would I gain with stage 1 or 2 if I left everything else stock?
So you are gonna add the extra tank for the E85?

Thanks by the way!

OK thanks,
Any idea on the HP gain with Map1 or 2 and everything else stock?
