We sure will. If you plan on keeping the car a long time, this may suit. For example, OBD2 flashing for ME9.7 ecus that are found in M156 63 AMG and many other models was released some 5-6 years after the vehicles/ECUs were first released. With increasing complexity, encryption and communication protocols are becoming harder and taking longer to crack for OBD2 flashing. I do not anticipate any OBD2 flashing for MED17.7.1 or MED17.7.3 coming anytime soon.

Thanks for the information. I haven't ever kept a car for 6 years so far so that is probably not a solution. I had a piggyback tune on a BMW 335i and went to a Cobb tune. What I found with both of those was that as improvements were made in the software the piggyback required that I hooked a laptop to it which on the BMW meant some dis-assembly required while the Cobb just required hooking the tuner to the computer and then downloading via the OBD2. I would be surprised if you don't have any software updates and even more surprised if Mercedes doesn't have any software updates as years go on. How do you make those changes if Mercedes makes a change or OETuning makes a change without a tuner?
