Did not work...
Some say there is a "BEP" sound for a confirmation that is worked...
?? TRUE ??
1. Get in the car, close the door.
2. Insert the key.
3. Turn the key two clicks to the right, to the ON position.
4. Press the gas pedal to the floor. Hold the pedal for at least 5 seconds.
5. Turn the key two clicks to the left, to the OFF/RELEASE position.
6. Release the gas pedal.
7. Do not remove the key for two minutes.
Nothing...
I have a Sprint Booster install.
Does this matter?
Thanks

When I do the reset, and let the car sit for two minutes in absolute silence (with the doors shut and key in OFF position), I can literally hear SOMETHING happening after two minutes. It's a strange humming noise that seems to come from the front of the car and makes a few soft variations in pitch, lasts for maybe 5 seconds. After that noise happens, I assume it's reset and get out/get going.

When you reset the computer it does not give you back lost HP inless there is some to give. Plus it does not give the max hp the factory tune offers. If you reset the ecu and drive the car hard and it see's no knock and no Iat issues the car will get faster and faster. Ive seen this time and time again at the track and have seen/heard this from cars on the dyno.

For recent proof, I just reset again today after taking the wife home yesterday from her parents. 200 miles by interstate. Would hardly get out of its own way this morning to go to McDonalds. Did the reset this afternoon and waited ten seconds. Later the wife and I go out for dinner and she yells at me because the goose I gave the gas pedal at the first stop sign threw her back in the seat! The beast is back!

The 4th point saying to wait at least for 2 minutes. Does that mean with or without the key still in the off position inside the ignition? Since the car likes to sleep for a while before it shows electrical changes, should the car also be locked for a few minutes to fall "asleep"?

This reset is really for those of us who don't bang on their car a lot.

The best way to accomplish this is re-setting adaptations at the track with STAR.

Please explain how changing the adaptive TRANSMISSION, will add power from a standstill?
How could it change the power in first gear???? It doesn't. The tranny also adapts very quickly, like 20 shifts; 4 signals. Don't even do this one, its a joke.
The AMG logo on command works great though.

out of the memory.But some clarification on the 4. point of the instruction would be nice. Waiting for 2 minutes with or without the key in the ignition and also locked car therefore since many features only become permanent after the car goes to sleep.

It doesn't add power and no one said so. All you do is resetting your granny driving style out of the memory.
