Wow they can make a ton of things so much better. Especially the firmware update and the DRL at night

I live in Toronto and have used MBhouse for a number of coding upgrades. They are excellent and take much pride in their work. They just recently introduced ECU tuning. I haven't had this done yet, but I'm contemplating it. If anyone else has had this done by them, I'd appreciate your feedback.

What a great shop! I wish MBHouse was within easy driving distance for me. Maybe they should franchise their software to other shops.

I live in Florida and still trying to find someone locally who can provide these upgrades. I have an ECU tune done by Renntech but even they can’t provide coding service. Only thing they could do was remove the top speed limiter. Would appreciate recommendations if anyone knows of Florida shops.

Thanks, I called them yesterday and the only way to get it done by them is to bring the car to their Toronto location or remove the instrument cluster and mail it to them

How can they change the DRL and the speed limiter just by sending my instrument cluster to them

They need the instrument cluster to update for the AMG menu. They would probably need the car to do the DRL and speed limiter update.

If you’re looking for an ECU tune with top speed limit removed, I would go with Renntech. I’ve been running their ECU tune in my car with zero issues. It comes with a handheld tuner so you can install and uninstall the tune yourself. Takes about 5 minutes to plug it in and update through the OBD II Port.

Way to expressive and that not what I'm looking for. Thanks for the tip thought 😊
