Chip tuning for Mercedes ML 63 AMG S (5.5T) 585 hp ECU

Mercedes ML (2011 - W166) 63 AMG S (5.5T) 585 hp — premium petrol engine of the passenger segment of the Mercedes-Benz Group AG (Mercedes-Benz, AMG, Maybach, Smart, EQ) group (Германия, 1926). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 585 to 650 hp (+65 hp, +11%) and torque from 760 to 950 Nm (+190 Nm). This engine ships with different ECU variants: Siemens/Continental CPC_NG, Bosch MED17.7.1, Bosch MED17.7.3, Siemens/Continental VGS4-NAG2, Siemens/Continental VGSx-NAG2. The flashing method is determined by the specific unit: OBD, Bench or Boot mode. In the CHIPOK database: 5 configurations · 5 ECU variants. The 2011 generation — mid-generation petrol ECUs (MEDC17/MEVD17/Simos PCR), OBD flash on production revisions.

The Mercedes three-pointed star symbolises dominance on land, at sea and in the air. 4MATIC all-wheel drive is Mercedes' signature system, fitted to most models. The Mercedes-Benz Group AG (Daimler AG until 2022) comprises Mercedes-Benz, AMG, Maybach, Smart and the EQ line. Brabus is an independent Mercedes tuning house specialising in top-model upgrades. The factory calibration on Mercedes petrol engines is conservative, leaving headroom for Stage 1. Mid-generation petrol models use standard OBD flash.

On Mercedes up to the recent generation, Stage 1 OBD flash is available. AMG engines confidently reach Stage 2 with a downpipe + intake. Mercedes is one of the most protected brands in the chip tuning industry in terms of encryption. Bench reading is a mandatory procedure for modern AMG models. Top AMG engines sit at the Mercedes power ceiling, and the gain is significant. AMG engines are a well-known base once hardware is added (downpipe + intake + intercooler). Brabus is a premium alternative to AMG for the top models.
