SL55/63/65/R230 AMG: What happened to Speedriven ??
If they have made their own tunes the tune should be ready at their own computer.
Now it's seems they must have big problems somewhere because it take so long time to made it to MyGenius "language"... FPF : format.
I can't go with Kleeman because I bought Speedriven Intercooler upgrade kit.
Kleeman tune does not take into account my different setup because the don't have it...
So Speedriven must have some problems with the tune uploads....
I want to buy 200cel cats + downpipes but I can't pull the trigger after al this...
Is there another tuning companies who can made them... Bolt on?

I am having issues with my MyGenius also. Problem is, I am in the US and it has to be resolved through Italy, where Dimsport is.
I have thinking a lot what the problem is... and why they can't solve the problem... and it sad if it depends from of third partner.....
So the problem must be the Dimsport then....
I don't like this... even if it a third partner problem they must stop to sell this MYgenius if it don't work..... It's not fair that the customer suffer.
MyGenius and it's software is not ready for sale.....(it is a work in progress).

If I decide to sell this brand new intercoolers + K&N filters is somebody here interesting to buy them. 2500 USD. + the Mygenius programmer.

Just get someone with proper flashing tool (aka Byteshooter) to flash the file Marcin provided and enjoy your upgrades. Selling the hardware when all you need is a tool to write the FILE YOU ALREADY HAVE is not a very wise idea. Dimsport is a pain when it comes to tune files as they use proprietary format - there is more to it than just a format, but I won't get into details...
I have a completely opposite problem - have the file and can write it, but no hardware. I would gladly buy your hardware package, but still waiting for SpeedRiven to ship my IC and downpipe packages, as I already paid for mine looooooooooong time ago. They have till the end of the month to ship my hardware and it will be for their Canadian demo car. If they fail to deliver, SpeedRiven is pretty much loosing Canadian market as this is their second (and last) chance, and I am talking a real volume here. My shop was the only one in Canada knowing WTH SpeedRiven is about and I used my own SL600 to demonstrate SpeedRiven upgrades to my clients (there are quite a few of my clients on this board and thank you !!!!).

Many have send me e-mails ( thank you for that) and ask details.. yes it's a complete kitt.... with all parts.
Intake pipes + K&N filters..... and it's brand new kitt.
The price is for the kitt. The freight costs don't include the price.
Yes I can send it everywhere.

NOT trying to put you down but somone NEEDS to point these facts out as throughout your build you've ranted & raved about nearly every part that's gone in to/on to your build IE I remember you ripping on every wheel manufacturer you dealt with & nothings changed w/ALL your Speedriven mods. If Speedrivens, taking too long for you? You don't have to sell all your Speedriven mods, OE Tuning/EuroCharged etc etc can EASILY custom TUNE your setup. Though like the rest of your frenetic process in trying to build this SL, you will just shoot yourself in the foot yet again
So PLEASE Sell ALL your Speedriven mods to a more levelheaded deserving member here that can easily make this SIMPLE, SIMPLE, setup run problem FREE in a matter of a few HOURS INCLUDING install time of IC's etc the Custom Tuning File can be REMOTELY DYNO tuned by Speedriven, OE Tuning, EuroCharged, etc in a couple hours on ANY properly working dyno machine etc..So here's to the LUCKY Member who scores these fantastic Speedriven mods

Do you know who have write this???

"I've pretty much given up waiting on Marcin/Speedriven for my Turbo upgrades & taken on the project/build myself (assembled Tuning/Fabrication team & purchased nearly brand new set of SL65 Turbo/Manifolds & pair of Brand NEW Intercoolers to run in QUAD formation like Brabus has done) OE Tuning/Jeremy will be Tuning her"
and this ???

"Speedriven/Marcin is impossible to reach on the phone/email/text etc I'm not the only person having this continued problem, I'm certainly not sending my SL few thousand miles cross country to his actual shop, if I can't even get the guy on the phone..
I've already purchased needed parts, Jody's build was far more complex as he had to transplant engine/trans/etc then fab turbo work etc YES it works w/all these hurdles w/out your over complicated version.."
Thericker... I wonder why you jump on me when you've written like this much earlier than me?
So my opinion is you are not the right person to comment on my posts.... or I'm missing something???

He did not add any value to what I said, but the point was - find ANY TUNING SHOP and ask then to write the file Marcin sent you. If you are using the MAC, you would have to convert the file and it is not that straight forward. Also, Dimsport files are the pain - I can probably help you out, but that will take time. Just search for any tuner around you, does not have to be MB - they can easily write the .bin file.
I am in the same boat as you and so far did not get any hardware from SpeedRiven and I ordered it before you. Since you have everything you need, there is no reason to give up and loose your money. SpeedRiven has a great product and I hope I can prove it very shortly as Marcin confirmed that he is shipping my stuff next week. Just go that extra step and write the file vs selling your hardware... Should you still decide to sell it after all, let me know as I will easily resell it to one of my clients after my demo ride is done

BUT I was talking purely about NOT getting in TOUCH w/him @ that time.. Lol Not freaking out & havig a fire sale of your brand new Speedriven parts because you can't figure out how to have ANOTHER party tune your SL.. Totally different situation etc.PS.. Applaud your research attempt

The problem for me is I must drove at least 450 miles and 450 miles back where the nearest turner located..... and we got snow last week.
I must mention again regarding the wheel shops cases. Modulare wheels was the first shop which send me what I paid for so I can trust at them next time also
.... the another ones lie to me and I don't like it at al...Thericker. I'm sorry for breaking the story just the other way....Can we leave this now and go further ....

I tried to solve the MAC problem and bought an Think pad with Windows XP.
So I use Mygenius first which ThinkPad. I update Mygenius (you must do it first time) with Think pad also.
Then I took it to my car and write/upload the "file" from the car.
Then I save it at my Think Pad. Then I save it from there to a memory stick.
and save it from the memory stick to the MacBook and I send it from my MacBook to Marcin by e-mail. When the new file arrived then I did it the other way around.
I have not any e-mail address at the ThinkPad so I did it this way.... but maybe
MAC change the file when I save it at my MAC hard disk... ?
Computers is a new thing for me so I'm not an expert on them... but try to learn everything but It's take time...
Regarding another turners OE Tuning/EuroCharged..... I think they can help me but I'm not sure can they made a new same tune as Speedriven has made.
Because they have no "intercoolers" and intake kits for sale which their own tunes.
I would have just waited for the seller solve the problem not me because I bought it from them.... and my English is not so good... sorry.
"Fire sale"


It is not a fire sale.We will see what the next step would be.....

Oooook. How would it address the problem Juha and me (as well as some other people on the board) are currently having ? Can you suggest any other company offering full range of upgrades for V12 (tunes and hardware) ? I do not see any V12 in your stable and 63 has a long way to go before it becomes V12 - any way you put it, except displacement and gas consumption

I think better option would be for SpeedRiven to hire some staff...

Marcin contact me yesterday.... and he send me also a new file.
I save the file directly at the USB memory stick. Not at the MAC hard disk first as I do it first time.
Marcin ask me also if I have change the file name first time... I told him Yes and No. The first time I saved it as MYGFile (2)_000_MOD.MYG.2.10.2013.Scorpion tune+stock and without change the file name MYGFile (2)_000_MOD.MYG .... and I test upload them with booth file names and that time it's dosen't help.
So now when I save it directly at the memory USB stick and took it to my Think bad and try to upload it to Mygenius.....Gues what happen......






MyGenuis upload it...... I have not try upload it at the car yet because it's night.... but I think it's gone work now....


I must recognize maybe it have been my fault all the time..... and If it so
[U]I sincerely apologize to Marcin at Speedriven and to you al.... this have been a night mare.
But I must mention again... that I do it this time different way when I upload it.
I don't save it at the MAC hard disk at al. I save it directly at the USB memory stick and not change or added the file name with date or something else. Then from the memory stick to MyGenius by Think Pad.
I'm so sorry if I have done something stupid
and caused unnecessary harm
to "you" al and Speedriven / Marcin.But I think I have learn something and I hope somebody else to...
