We have recently had a large number of enquiries about supplying our tuning packages to owners of the Mercedes Benz GLA45 AMG...
While this platform shares many components with its other more common 45AMG siblings it is always nice to get actual feedback from owners around the world once they have installed our kits.
Today our dealer in Portugal installed our Air intake and Tune on a customers GLA45 and it made a great +68bhp gain. More importantly to the petrol heads among us is the smoothness of the tuned vs stock curve and also the fact the entire torque curve lifts without any harsh peaking and drop off.

According to this graph, there are no gains in the lower RPM <2800 . Is it really so or is it just a technicality?
This is interesting. I think I have seen other boxes that offer gains even in much lower rpm. My guess is it would help the drivability during city driving.
Is it to avoid increasing the fuel consumption that You chose this strategy?
That makes zero sense from a tuning perspective, most tunes are made to only effect WOT anyway so your point on highway driving makes no sense. your essentially limiting the gains of the car for no reason especially for lower gears and 0-60 times.
My tune has at least 20 HP gains in the low end.

Our tune does not only effect WOT it is active throughout.
If you were at a standstill and hit the accelerator hard the car would not achieve full boost (30psi) by 2.8k RPM so requesting more boost would be pointless. If you were driving to extract performance you would never have it below 2.8K RPM Either.
If you did a brake stand launch you would be launching at 3K RPM so in the "tuned zone" and like wise with Race start.
The way we tuned it means an A45 can achieve 3.6s 0-62mph so not limiting performance at all.

Hope that helps.
Ever raced a tuned 45 with another vehicle, or got some drag times. If there is somewhere on these forums, please forgive me, but I'm just browsing through these forums and that time is enough to take on many cars, and put an Audi R8 V8 to shame.
Matt i am wondering if you have a dealer in Australia?
I have a GLA45 with 1100 ks on it and im not that over impressed with the grunt also i don't have to go back to Mercedes after 1500 ks is there an automatic setting that changes the tune after its run in or is that it
I have ordered the Rebellion v2 tune and cant wait to get it
The thing I really like is on the dyno graph it looks like it wont seem much different driving around town until it hits @2700 revs
As long as the missus keeps driving around in C mode all should be good, if she hits 3000 rpm all hell might might break loose in more ways than one
Got the Rebellion tune today
Took a bit of stuffing around as i printed the instructions off the net and they were not very clear-might have been my printer
No instructions with it is a bit poor
I cant give a report as by the time i got done it started raining and got dark
I just hope its all connected properly-The car runs so i suppose all is ok
Question- im a newbie to this plug and play stuff...- if i unplug the tuning box and leave all the rest connected will the car still run through the standard ecu as normal...
We are considering including instructions however the general consensus was having them online means you can never loose them.
In the kit the is a small plug with yellow wires, this is a bypass plug. With the vehicle off and the keys removed you can place this where the tuning box plus in and your car will run as per stock.
Hope that helps and I'm sure you will love the tune !

Good Gains, In the wet on soft launch there wont be too much difference.
How does it feel over all?
It feels fantastic but its different from my xr6 turbo 310 rwkw sedan
I timed the xr6 0 to 100 and got 4.8 (bit of wheel spin)and it feels like your going to end up in the boot
The GLA is quicker and a lot smoother, when it gets into 3rd it goes miles better than stock, actually the car was still going hard at 180ks
Not bad considering I got 7.6L per 100Ks on a trip on the weekend...
From what I can tell its smoother around town with better acceleration in s mode, most times I get in it its copping a bit of a flogging(the car)..haha..........
annnd loving it..
I have seen where you can reset the transmission, if this is true would the rebellion tune need to be removed or the plug with yellow wires needed to be put on during reset
Matt got the V2 and the TRS installed. What a change in the GLA45 AMG! Scared the wife, I didn't tell her I installed it. She dropped the hammer the other day on the ramp and nearly pee'd her pants. Heard all about it when she came home.
Much quicker and responds like it should now! I'll be looking for the transmission tune shortly and the Remus next. Does your price of £999.00 for the Remus Exhaust System, include the sound controller and Remote? If not what's the total cost?
I used industrial Felcro on the back of the V2 and stuck it to the front of the battery box. Can't see it unless you look for it. It's an excellent stealth location and fits like a glove.
