The one thing I hate about leaving M for AMG, the lack of after market. We have turbo upgrades available, why is it a stage 1 pure M car traps so much better? DCT?
Also you'd think these tuners had a "German connect" to be on top of the latest ECU/TCU tuning for these cars, TCU tune and torque limit removal would do the M157 wonders!

from what I know the M doesn't have torque limits like we have.
for now we need more mods done to match the M
Hopefully the tuners figure it out before they abandon the m157

for TCU tune/ trq limit increase i heard back from tunerwerks above.. here is what they said:
TCU tuning module increases shifting times up to 50% and torque up to 20%.
Attached is photo of TCU tuning module for MCT transmission.
You simply plug into OBD2 port and it will start flashing the TCU.
Once it's complete, you simply unplug the module and store it.
Price is $1,699.
on their site there is really no info on it and no results so caveat emptor... i havent heard of anyone being able to flash our cars tcu via obd port, so pretty skeptical

There are parameters under which Renntech can modify the ecu and still maintain factory warranty. If you get retuned for a off road downpipe with Renntech, you do not actually get a new tune, just the O2sensor light turned off (you still will not pass emission testing since it says "not ready" at least here in TX).
MB will void any engine or turbo related warranty Renntech or not tune if there is any modification to the emission system (AKA any part of exhaust before the mufflers according to the AMG regional who was at the dealership).
Basically, Renntech is very restricted on just what they can do and maintain factory warranty coverage and modifying the torque controls on the TCU is not covered so don't expect them to bother with it

Grand total of $4700 for a company we've never even heard of, let alone they have no proof in their products.

yeah their information seems pretty inconsistent as I told them I had a Renntech tune and they told me that it doesn't affect my ECU tune and all I need to do is pay the 1700 for their module and plug it into my OBD port and my tcu would be tuned

This is a big jump... from tuners not being able to tune the TCU to being able to do it via the OBD2 port!!
If this works then it seems worthwhile, particularly as there is no removing the TCU and shipping it away.

Dealers flash TCU updates (similar method a tune will use) via OBD all the time. I read of a guy from Germany connecting his laptop to a E63 and flashing the TCU via OBD. Basically the way to tune the TCU will most likely be via OBD hence the units complicated location in this car. Just gotta know the encryption keys to do so

i asked why their tune cost $3,000 not being a smart azz, just honest curiosity. This is the response.
"Main difference is that we don't buy files.
All of our tuning files and modules are researched & developed at our head office in Germany.

Yeah, I saw your updated signature, congrats. I bet it's an awesome toy...but at the end of the day it's just that, a toy. Not something someone used to quality would want to spend any amount of time in as a daily. Those interiors are just awful.

I agree, you've had some bad luck. Many people have when it comes to aftermarket on this platform but it's still MBs fault more than any for preventing access to full tuning.

I'll daily it I don't care , even in the winter . I daily my 911 2 years , not the best daily at all .
Interior definitely can be better , but over all could be worse , nothing to compare with MB interior , but aftermarket , feel , pricing is unbeatable.
