High Performance Package, Anyone?

Has anyone tried enabling the High Performance Package? It needs to be enabled under the ECU and CGW. Just curious as to what, if any, improvements might be realized.

I have never heard about this setup option... I bet this option needs to have the related hardware present to become useful.

Perhaps @JettaRed is familiar or interested about it.

I don't believe that's the case. A friend with an E250, all stock hardware, made the coding change and is pleased with the results. I'm trying to get some more info before trying it on mine.

that's good to hear

Perhaps you care to document the steps for others E250 fellas

ECU: Variant Coding/Implicit Variant Coding
CGW: Variant Coding/Global Variant Coding

In both cases, just change the setting to Available.

Sounds like very straight forward steps. Let me have a look now...

E350 CGW... OPTION No108: "High perf. package present" is listed.


E350... entry No108
(mystery option)

In German default this is Fahrdynamik Paket. And is more about - driving dynamics package.

On some models ( AMG mostly ) the Driving Dynamics can be managed by and external Drivetrain Gateway like CPC or DRVU_NG.

In this specific case, enabling High Performance Package will enable the DRVU_NG ( AMG Drive Unit ) into the Drivetrain network.

Absolutely non relevant on non-AMG

The aforementioned friend noticed that this is enabled in the GL550 and GLE350d....non-AMG, correct? And while of course there is the possibility of placebo effect in the case of my friend's E250, my inclination is to give him the benefit of the doubt in what he's observed.

FWIW here's the subjective impression from someone who made the change on a W230.

Further I found a setting called " Fahrdynamikpaket" translates into " Driving Dynamic Package" I have not been able to find any description on what it does, So I enable in order to find out what happen. My subjective opinion is as follows.
It works only in sport mode.
It stiffens the suspension.
The car seems to leans more into corners.
Throttle seems even more responsive, and so do up and downshifts.
Steering changes ratio, and becomes more direct, and tougher at higher speeds, is my feeling.
The fun factor has increased.
Based on the above, it might be a predecessor to "Dynamic", without any manual settings possible.

OK, made the coding changes and put it through its paces. I would say that it's DEFINITELY quicker and more responsive; the tach clearly gets to redline sooner than it did before. Seems like a winner.

FYI I found that I had to make the CGW change first...only then could I make the ECU change.

Woah, looks like OP discovered a free "tune".

So on my E250, the only thing that was affected was the accelerator tuning....which is all I was interested in anyway. On other cars, HPP affects other things such as steering and suspension (from some reading I've done).

Yep, seems like a free tune!

...accelerator tuning, after you code the Pedalkennlinie domain, true?

No I didn’t touch that parameter. But I wonder if it was modified as part of the high performance package. Currently set to KLD 1.

On KLD2 will be more aggressive

HPP, may be not be relevant on your model

HPP definitely made a big difference. It is so responsive that I’m not sure if I want to mess with the pedal curve. I might try KLD 2 at some point though.

Would you know in which drivetrains combinations HPP would normally be active? My E400 uses the lowest power output version of the twin turbo M276 (276.820) and I'm curious to know how they uprated that engine on the 43s "AMG" variants.

I have now set the pedal parameter to KLD3 which apparently is the setting when HPP is enabled stock. Everything now is very quick and smooth. Am now driving in E instead of S.

So HPP now replaces a pedal commander or some sort right?
