The Mercedes slogan is 'Das Beste oder nichts' ('The best or nothing'). Smart is Mercedes's city sub-brand, historically running Mitsubishi and Renault engines. Karl Benz is credited as the inventor of the automobile with the 1886 Patent-Motorwagen. Mid-generation petrol models use standard OBD flash. The Mercedes petrol range spans compacts, premium saloons, SUVs, roadsters and AMG flagships. Mercedes encryption is among the toughest in the industry, especially on modern models.
The Mercedes community in Europe has a large pool of available Stage files for the standard models. On Mercedes up to the recent generation, Stage 1 OBD flash is available. The AMG community is active in Germany, but the protection is the toughest in the industry, so Stage 1 on AMG usually requires Bench. 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.
