One thing to note is the rev match tune flashes your ECU back to stock so if you are tuned you will need to get re-tuned after. Lucky for me the tech at Dime knows Tony at Race IQ so he is going to send him my base file with the rev match tune so I can get it sent back to me to be used in a MyGenius.
I had heard some negative reviews about Dime but I can tell you my experience so far has been excellent. The closest tuner to me was about 8 hours away so they tried to see if they could get a tech to come to me. When they were unable to provide that service they offered to send me the equipment to perform the tune remotely. I will reply back with the results once the rev match tune is completed.

Dime sent me the equipment to do it remotely. The tune consists of an ECU tune and a TCU tune. I just completed the ECU tune tonight. It took a little longer than tuning with a MyGenius. I didn't have time to do the TCU tune tonight but I am planning on completing it tomorrow. Apparently the TCU tune isn't always successful through the OBD II port and requires the connection to be made through the TCU connector under the car.

Everything went off without a hitch. The TCU tune took all of 5 minutes. The bark when down shifting @ 3k in 3rd is vicious! Contact Dime racing for pricing
I'll post a video later today or tomorrow

I had to wait for the equipment to get back from the UK so they are willing to ship it overseas

Not the best video but this should show you how it works
It works flawlessly. The tune updates the TCU firmware

Because I would assume that a rev match upgrade would also address the upshifts that are uninspiring to say the least. Someone made the comment that it now shifts better than a C63 BS, so I wanted to see if that was the case.

I feel like the shifts are a little crisper. It doesn't lope into the next gear as much but this could also be due to the adaptations being reset. This being said there is no way it shifts better than a C63 BS. The C63 BS utilizes the 7G tronic MCT

the tune is worth every penny. I have nothing but good things to say about the tune and the customer service.

Great, appreciate the response. They will be sending me the laptop next week for the remote tune as well. Do you also get the ECU tune that increases hp/torque as part of the rev matching upgrade? If so, was there a noticeable change in the performance of the vehicle after the tune? Thanks!

I said the upshift and downshift are quicker but never that it was as quick as a 7G MCT ;-)

Searching for CLK63 AMG BS and G63 AMG
Sorry, new to the forum, but what failures are you referring to in your post? Looking at picking up a BS and recognize some of them have the TCU tune, so curious what to look out for and the potential issues prevalent with it.

seems the m156 had some transmission failures with the rev match WITHOUT the valve body electronics modification. Searching here ive heard of only a few. Renntech still does it with valve body mod, but it is more than just a TCU software update involved and might explain the high cost from them.
