Only MBs - the best or nothing
Who exactly did you sent email to? There are several "sprint booster" companies under slightly different name.
There is a great confusion among them all which is the correct p/n for W166/X166 GLE63/GLS63 - some say it is the same for all W166/X166 including ML63/GL63 which is p/n SBME0013 and p/n SBME1013 is only for C292 GLE "coupe"; while other say W166/X166 ML/GL - SBME0013 and GLE(both W166 and C292) and X166 GLS - SBME1013. In my W166 GLE I actually use SBME1013 for more than a year no issues, but now they are saying it should have been SBME0013, hence my response. My confusion became even more so because for Sprinter Van, which has nothing to do with GLE/GLS, the p/n is SBME1013.

Contacted https://www.sprintboosterusa.com/, looks like offical from the name at least...
Yes very confusing, different part# from different vendor. Maybe should go for pedal commander, at least they only have one part#, lol...

I bought mine from GMPperformance last year. Unlike all "sprint booster names" they are the only one who are consistent: W166/X166 ML/GL - SBME0013, while W166/C292 GLE and X166 GLS - SBME1013. I did not mean to confuse you by putting down p/n SBME0013 in my original response, while having SBME1013 myself. I'm not 100% sure myself, except I 100% know that SBME1013 works in my W166 GLE.

Yes, doesn't make sense to me. I will give 1013s a try then. I think the programing are all the same, except different model/brand has different type connector.

Actually connectors are the same. SB definitely helps a lot. Once I've tried it, I won't drive without it. Have/had it on most of my MBs, including '15 ML63. EVERY W166/X166, regardless of engine, benefits greatly.

How was the install? The unit is on the way, I took a look at the gas pedeal today, it looks different than in the install videos I watched on youtube. Any instructions on GLE or GLS? if they are the same I wonder...
