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. On modern Mercedes diesels, the encryption often requires Bench reading or authorised OBD. Mercedes diesels are known for smooth, quiet running, a hallmark of the premium segment. Mercedes diesels have long been known for legendary reliability, with German taxi fleets running to million-kilometre mileages.
Stage 1 on Mercedes often requires refreshing the adaptations after the flash. On modern Mercedes, the encryption requires specialised Bench tools.
