how to remove speed limiter from 2000 S500

Anyone know how I can remove the 130mph speed limiter on my s500?

I've searched the forums and found lots of discussing "about" the limiter, but not much on how to actually remove it.

if anyone knows how I can do this I'd appreciate the info

Get your ECU flashed. You can search for that.

Your two options would -

1 - Tune your ECU with one of the popular Mercedes tuners.
2 - Buy the Brabus V-MAX module which will raise the limiter to 186MPH (AFAIK)

thanks y'all. i was hoping for something that would just let me remove the speed limiter, and not change anything else.. not sure if that'll be possible though eh?

oxygen, is there a specific mercedes tuner you would recommend?
