BenzNinja Experience

Well folks if you’re wondering about coding your car I can say BenzNinja is great! He gave me perfect guidance through the process and was there the entire time from stupid questions to working waaaaay outside his standard hours. Feel free to ask anything you want here but I’ve had a great experience so far.

I’m in Houston so if anyone else wants to meet locally to have this done reach out to me as I own the equipment you will need, you will just need the membership and some time.

Peter was up front, honest. And worked hard during this first session with him. I’ll be working with him even more as I already have a few more things I would like to see.

Our car is a 2019 SL550 if anyone is wondering.

I’ve done quite a bit so far! We removed the seatbelt chime, updated the maps, added gauge clusters, changed the heated and cooled seat settings so they don’t turn off, addded ILS+ to the headlights, removed the enter text while driving restriction, changed start/stop and transmission settings to last used… im sure there are more but I’m on my phone at the moment.

BenzNinja is just a great tool. He worked way outside is operating hours to finish.

if you want your car customized he is the guy.

I hate to post specifics because it’s not my business. If you send a contact form up through his website he will give you the cost. There are a few different ways you can do coding with him. I chose the long term option of becoming a member and buying the equipment but he rents it as well and I don’t think he requires membership although I love it.
