BLOCK TUNER
OBD PROGRAMMER AND DATA-LOGGER

The Speedriven Block Tuner communicates directly with your vehicle's ECU, allowing you to switch between Speedriven's high-performance software and the factory file in a matter of minutes. It also works as a data-recorder, giving Speedriven an inside look at your car's behavior - allowing Speedriven to give you local technical support from hundreds or thousands of miles away! Simply connect the Block to your car's OBD-II port (just underneath the steering column) and record the data ... then connect the Block to your PC (via USB cable, included), and email the file to Speedriven.

- SUPERIOR TECHNICAL SUPPORT
- REVERT TO FACTORY SPECIFICATIONS AT ANY TIME
- EASILY SWAP BETWEEN PUMP-GAS AND RACE-GAS TUNE FILES

Available for 55 Kompressor AMG, 600 and 65 AMG Bi-turbo V12, and 63 series AMG cars, as well as 550/350 naturally-aspirated Mercedes-Benz. Priced at 495 USD. Special PKG pricing w/ ECU tune.

does 495 include the box and the tune?

Speedriven1

Unfortunately, no. The $495 is for the box itself. The tune is extra, and pricing can be found here: http://speedriven.com/products_parts.html

We do offer PKG pricing if a client buys the ECU software and the Block Tuner together, though. Thanks!

What is entailed in switching between stock and Tuned ECU programs? Do I need to hook up PC each time?

Can it send info wirelessly to an iphone?

Hammer Down

There's no price listed for the 55K

Speedriven1

We don't offer software for the 55 Kompressor cars, at the moment.

Hammer Down

where are you guys at with the TCU programming for the 55K?

Speedriven1

You don't have to connect to a PC each time, since the Block will store 2 files (there is a physical switch on the Block, which you can set to "stock / tuned" for example, but can just as easily serve as "pump" and "race" tune settings).

Keep in mind, the Block will store any 2 files - so you can theoretically run a Speedriven (for example) tune for pump-gas / daily driving duties, and a more aggressive tune for mile runs or race gas. You can even - in some cases - compare tunes from several vendors by saving the files on your PC and swapping them out.

Lots of flexibility built-in, as I understand it, but (sadly) no wireless functionality.

Nothing for the 430's of the world??

Speedriven1

Marcin's pretty close to a final product. Looking for a local mid-level to heavily modded 55K to do some final drive tests on, actually. Are you in Chicago?

Speedriven1

The 430s (and 55Ks, for that matter) were all discontinued long before Speedriven opened the doors.

Ghostrider

Copy that. Thanks for the quick reply!!

Speedriven1

No problem.

Hammer Down

nope im in CA

Speedriven1

Just thought I'd bump this with a new message: if you have a mid-level to heavily-modded 55K in the Chicago area, we'd like to talk to you. PM me.

Thanks!!

tuptus

Hi im very intrested in this product, i have a 55k amg, what kind of horsepower can expect?

Speedriven1

It's Tuptus! Que pasa, amigo? Didn't know you were on here ... and thought you had an Audi?

Just PM me or Marcin for this stuff - no need to bump old threads.

Sunir

Will Marcin have the TCU for the SL55 available anytime coming up?

Speedriven1

I think I just sent you an email on this? We're ready to do the final tests and prove the latest tweaks - once Marcin's happy with the file we'll release it as a retail product.

Sunir

Jo got your email...will give you a call.

will this be open for us to use any tuner? like say we are happy with our tune but want a race map or summer/winter map

could we upload our own files to this box?

Speedriven1

Or a valet mode, even. Yes, this will let you do that.

skratch77

really?this is great news,Im so tired of sending my ecu back and forth this will help me out alot.

Is there a link of the software that I can download to mess with and see what its like?

Just need to see if my tuner feels comfortable giving there bins up to alow us to flash,consider me on the list to buy asap!!!

Speedriven1

No software, really - the computer pretty much treats it like a USB drive. Email me joborras@speedriven.com and I'll see about getting you some screen caps.

your maps will have to be configured to work with the block tuner's software and i'm quite certain kleemann wouldn't be happy or readily willing to allow another company to do that. you can still bypass kleemann and have speeddriven copy your maps and make them compatible with their block tuner but then you're giving away kleemann's intellectual property which may sever your relationship with them. however, since speeddriven doesn't have any 55k maps of their own, i'm sure they would be more than happy to do it.
