Me too! I'm having a bit of a difficult time finding someone to do it for me. I think I have someone lined up but waiting to hear back. I promise I'll let you all know as soon as I know!

After reading countless threads it looks like the 2018 C63S / 2018 GTR are so loud from factory these ASR modules do nothing besides cold start / Warm start valves fully opened.

Orcbolg

Which is worth the price to me, especially warm start.

When I press the valve open button and start the car, it starts loud and then after 30 seconds it quiets up, like the valves close. Is this normal? The car behaved like this before the ASR module was plugged in. I was under the impression that this would not happen with the ASR module…. And,

if I turn the car off in sport + or race mode, should the car remember that setting when I turn it back on?

Orcbolg

How quiet does it actually get? The car will naturally quiet a bit when the rpms drop after the initial warmup phase, on cold start.

As for the second question, it depends on which brand of module you have.
- If you have the ASR/Renntech module, then it should always keep the valves open, even after shutting it off, until you use the fob to change it back to stock configuration.
- If you have the Cete module, then it won't remember the setting after shutting down the vehicle, and you will have to select the exhaust mode pre-startup, every time. Someone said that the most recent version of this module does have a memory function, but I don't know if that's true or how recently that was actually implemented.

Pautab1

Oh, it quiets down slightly. I thought it shouldn’t quiet down at all. I have the ASR and it doesn’t remember the setting. For example, if I turn the car off in sport +, when I start the car, it’ll go back to comfort mode. I think every thing is installed right. I have a 16 AMG GTS by the way

Orcbolg

The car itself will always go back to Comfort, after shutting it down, but your valves should stay in whichever mode you setup for your start mode. Did you program the start mode you wanted?

Auto translated instructions from the ASR page:

Pautab1

oh man I didn’t even realize there was instructions on programming. Silly question but how am I “pressing” a button if the different modes are on the knobs? I would want sport + mode on all the time.

I had a 2013 Corvette 427 and the same device was $100. Included the remote. So it most def is a German car tax.

Orcbolg

Your EVM should have come with the keypob.

Pautab1

oh they meant pressing the button on the fob. Yes, mine came with 2 sets. The instructions don’t specify which of the 3 buttons to press, I imagine just press the open button 5 times to keep the last setting then?

Orcbolg

Correct.

Acta_Non_Verba

Two very different systems. The Corvette uses a vacuum system which is an easy intervention. The AMG uses an electronic one controlled by the ECU.

Pautab1

so I’ve been having an issue with the ASR module. All the buttons on the remote work and I can hear the tone of the exhaust change when I open/close it. I would like to get the car to start in sport + mode. I’ve held down the open button for 5 seconds when I’m sport + mode and hear the flaps opening and closing 5 times to confirm the command but when I turn off the car off the settings won’t save and the car starts in comfort mode. Per the ASR website, I’ve even tried to hold the open button for 10 seconds, the flaps again open and close confirming the command but the car doesn’t remember the latest setting. What am I doing wrong?

Stenzel-Germany

Hi,

You can only save the last state of the ASR module.

It is normal for your GT to jump back from Sport + to Comfort (after 4 hours of inactivity).

The ASR flap control does not change that.


Best regards

Stenzel

Pautab1

How are you saving the last state of the ASR? I’ve pressed the open button 5 times and then separately held the open button for 10 seconds and it never saves in sport +

I haven’t heard the car defaulting back to comfort after 4 hours of inactivity before, wouldn’t that defeat the purpose of the ASR if you wanted to start the car in sport +??

Orcbolg

I think you may have a misunderstanding of what the module does. It does not choose, or alter, the drive modes that you select via the knob or steering wheel buttons, it only overrides the exhaust valve signal that those driving modes would use to dictate how much they should open or close.

There is no way to change the driving mode that the car starts in, sadly. You can can only use the module to choose whether or not the exhaust valves are wide open on startup. What you are selecting, when you change the module's startup mode, is the whether the exhaust valves are open, closed, or using stock settings, on startup.

The names of the modes for the remote/module (Sport, Comfort, Stock) are completely separate from the names of the car's driving modes (i*, Comfort, Sport, Sport +, Race).

Pautab1

ahhh, I see my mistake now. That makes sense. I was under the impression it could keep the sport+ on the dial saved to get loudest sound. Oh well!

Do you know if the exhaust memory settings stay the same when you put the car in manual mode?

Orcbolg

It does. The module completely intercepts the signal to the valves, so whatever you have the module set to, will always override what the car is trying to do with them.

Ianbiz

can you send me details as well please?

I just sold my GTR and have a Cete EVM laying around. $300 if anyone is interested, just send me a PM.

W205C43PFL

not sure if you got a reply from the other forum member yet but if you want to you can always use a mail forwarding service and have ASR ship to them then ship to you afterwards.

Orcbolg

I also have my ASR module for sale.
