The Mercedes-Benz Group AG (Daimler AG until 2022) comprises Mercedes-Benz, AMG, Maybach, Smart and the EQ line. AMG is the performance division of Mercedes (since 1967), building engines on the 'one man, one engine' principle in Affalterbach. Mercedes is one of the most protected brands in the chip tuning industry in terms of encryption. Maybach uses Mercedes engines for the ultra-luxury segment, with the emphasis on quietness and smoothness. The factory calibration on Mercedes petrol engines is conservative, leaving headroom for Stage 1. High-output Mercedes turbo petrol engines are the flagship models, and Stage 1 delivers a solid gain.
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. High-output Mercedes engines are premium-class with solid headroom for Stage 1.
