Why? It's NA engine on 4200lb SUV, you can't get any real gains from ECU tuning.
I saw some company offering it on this forum, 2-4k for 10-30hp. Absurd.

See if they will adjust the shift timing. A little crisper shifting with perhaps better throttle response can make a car feel a LOT better without increasing the power all that much. The GLK is perfectly set up for that with a two map Transmission algorithm (C&S).

Singh has an ECU tune for our rides that gives approximately 25-28hp and 22-24 lb. tq. for $650. It changes the shift points, removes speed limiter and increases mpg

A friend of mine got her front driver and passenger windows tinted to match the factory tinted rear windows and her dealership tried to void her warranty. I advised her to make them show where the front tint does anything to adversely affect anything on her car which would require it to be voided. They could'nt show any proof so they had to keep her warranty intact, so she now uses a different dealership for maintenance work.

I was surprised as well, but they were giving my friend a hard time probably because she is a woman
