Chip tuning for Mercedes S 400 Hybrid (3.5i) 306 hp ECU
Mercedes S (2014 - W222) 400 Hybrid (3.5i) 306 hp — premium hybrid 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 306 to 330 hp (+24 hp, +8%) and torque from 370 to 400 Nm (+30 Nm). This engine ships with different ECU variants: Bosch MED17.7.1, Bosch MED17.7.3, Siemens/Continental VGS4-NAG2. The flashing method is determined by the specific unit: OBD, Bench or Boot mode. In the CHIPOK database: 3 configurations · 3 ECU variants.
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 is Mercedes's ultra-luxury sub-brand. Full-EV Mercedes keep the inverter and BMS locked, so traditional chip tuning does not apply. 48V MHEV with EQ Boost is a mild hybrid sharing its ECU with the non-MHEV version. On a Mercedes PHEV, the ICE part is tuned just like a pure combustion engine.
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. Stage 1 on Mercedes often requires refreshing the adaptations after the flash. 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.
