ECU tune for E550 Coupe

Car : 2010 Mercedes- Benz E550 coupe


I was looking around the Net for a ECU tune. I saw on RENNtech they had a ecu tune but i was amazed because they want $1,499. I understand you get what you pay for but that seems like a lot to reprogram my ECU.

I also wanted to get the top speed limiter off.

Does anyone know if they have software out there to tune your ECU.

Is that a DIY type job or do i really need to know cars to do a tune myself.

Does anyone know of any place that does this for cheaper or do you get what you pay for?


I live in Washington DC.

There are serveral tuners offering ECU tunes: some advertise on this site. Contact them and see what they do to test their tunes, etc. They can also answer your questions about speed limit, etc.

Research their reputation and don't base your decision on price only, IMHO.

I'd never try this myself.

I had a Kleemann tune. It changed the character of the car but didn't necessarily improve things. Being the 1st class outfit they are, they were happy to oblige with a refund, minus shipping costs.
