R231 SL63 & R129 SL500
@TUFSNR google “R231 reset adaptations” and you’ll find YouTube instructions - basically a specific sequence of pressing the brake, turning on/off the car, etc. - that tells the ECU to forget what it’s learned about how you drive - I.e. reset it’s “adaptation” to your specific driving style. I actually think the sequence of moves is common to all late model Mercedes. You may need to toss some rice over your shoulder and chant some mantras, lol…
As a caveat, I haven’t tried it myself.

Great! My E63s 2014
Great! My E63s 2014 when i am at cruising at any speed.. as soon as i let go of the pedal... the car does not react straight away but instead keep the same cruising speed for 2 seconds before it then starts to de accelerate. Can u help me with this? Can u eliminate the 2 second delay? Thanx!

You will need to contact him at his website. The information is posted above.
I have the BenzNinja tranny modification and will attest that it is significant in the Agility (A) mode. It is much more aggressive than Sport (S) mode, often automatically downshifting two gears, such a 6 to 4, where S mode downshifts by one gear. That could be because BenzNinja also tweaks the accelerator response with his modification. I remember the coding taking more than two minutes, so maybe BenzNinja did a tranny reset of the shift gears. This is something done with XENTRY and not a series of pressing the pedal to the floor, etc. Also, at a stop, the tranny downshifts to 1st gear when in A or S modes.
