“ Rear Spoiler inoperable limit speed 125
I installed an aftermarket rear wing on my 2017 AMG GTS and keep getting the above error message. Dealer refuses to help. Anyone have suggestions?

Your car did not come with a factory fixed wing I presume? If not then you need to purchase one of these units below. That will keep the car from displaying that error message above 125 MPH.

I have some Renntech stickers, I can slap one on this and cut you a deal at $500 each. I'm losing money on each one honestly.
