This engine ships with different ECU variants: Bosch MED17.7.7, Bosch VGS2-FDCT gen1, Bosch VGS2-FDCT gen2. The flashing method is determined by the specific unit: OBD, Bench or Boot mode. In the CHIPOK database: 3 configurations · 3 ECU variants. A modern petrol engine built in 2018 — a generation with encrypted ECU protection (Tricore TPROT); top engines require Bench.
Mercedes is one of the most protected brands in the chip tuning industry in terms of encryption. Maybach is Mercedes's ultra-luxury sub-brand. Mercedes-Benz is the world's oldest carmaker, founded in 1926 by the merger of Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft and Benz & Cie. Mercedes encryption is among the toughest in the industry, especially on modern models. The factory calibration on Mercedes petrol engines is conservative, leaving headroom for Stage 1. The Mercedes petrol range spans compacts, premium saloons, SUVs, roadsters and AMG flagships.
The AMG community is active in Germany, but the protection is the toughest in the industry, so Stage 1 on AMG usually requires Bench. Stage 1 on Mercedes often requires refreshing the adaptations after the flash. Mercedes is one of the most protected brands in the chip tuning industry in terms of encryption. High-output Mercedes engines are premium-class with solid headroom for Stage 1. On modern high-output Mercedes, Bench reading is often required because of the encryption. The Mercedes premium segment is a high-output platform with Stage 2 potential.
