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. Mercedes encryption is among the toughest in the industry, especially on modern models. 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.
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. 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.
