Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 156 to 188 hp (+32 hp, +21%) and torque from 250 to 330 Nm (+80 Nm). ECU — Bosch MED17.7.7. Flashing method: OBD or Bench depending on the unit's protection. 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 Mercedes community in Europe has a large pool of available Stage files for the standard models. Stage 1 on Mercedes often requires refreshing the adaptations after the flash. On modern Mercedes, the encryption requires specialised Bench tools. Mid-range Mercedes engines are a premium segment with a conservative factory calibration, and Stage 1 preserves engine life. Mercedes prioritises smooth running, and Stage 1 preserves the engine's character. The Mercedes factory calibration allows a confident move to Stage 1 without hardware changes. The Mercedes community is active in Europe, with a large pool of available Stage files.
