It actually baffles me that the TCU wasn't cracked AND there is not OBD2 tuning for these cars. Is the possible sales not worth the R&D? Are they too rare?

Maybe the TCU is hard to access?

Their tcu software was a joke on the W211 (if you even believe it actually worked) so I can't imagine this version was any better...
