I haven't had a check engine light yet with the Dinan installed (knock on wood), my exhaust "crackle" is unaffected, and I definitely can feel the power increase the unit offers. I keep my Dinan on "Race" since 93 octane is readily available in my state. Absolutely worth the price!

Golan is usually very quick to respond, and a good guy. The device is a good value though even Dinan agrees the app "needs some love." Use it merely for off, on, or mode and it is fine.

Sent him a PM and email, still waiting for a response. Anyone from Canada order the unit and from where (besides dinans main site)?

Same. I haven't heard back either. My local dealer (1/2 mile from my house) sells it, but they charge $300 for install and won't just sell me the part without installing.

Don't bother with this Dinan module as it's bluetooth connectivity is flaky. Just go for a full ECU tune and don't look back. You won't regret it.

Blueooth connectivity should only matter when wanting to change setting. After the initial couple weeks of testing things out I wouldn't think I would be messing with it too much. Also, software issues like that can sometimes be resolved via app update.

If you guys are close to the US border, just get it shipped to a US mail/parcel pickup address. That is what I do when ordering parts or stuff off Amazon, takes me 40 mins to hop across the border, may save you a few bucks in this instance.

Anyway on a side note if someone wants a module mine is for sale. Only used it for a week before just going the AMR Performance route. I'll let it go for $250 plus shipping.

At the moment, I don't have the flexibility to be able to send my ECU somewhere. I'm also unsure about potential downsides as it relates to going into the dealer with it. Not to mention the price difference between this unit and a full ECU tune. Given the Dinan's cheap price and ease of installation, I don't care if I end up thinking it's a dud.

exactly!. I haven't even used the app but two or three times to change the settings. I have it where I like it now and haven't thought about it since. Def worth the price for what you get

also saw on another thread here that Dinan has done an "elite" box as a prototype for the 4.0 AMG C63 guys and one of the members here is testing it. So maybe their fully warranted units are on the horizon!~

Installation is just unplugging a connection and inserting the dinan unit between the original connections, right?

You'll spend more time securing the excess wiring from the Dinan with cable ties. As for the Bluetooth connection, it takes like seconds from your smart phone.
