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. 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.

On modern Mercedes, the encryption requires specialised Bench tools. Mercedes prioritises smooth running, and Stage 1 preserves the engine's character. The Mercedes factory calibration allows a confident move to Stage 1 without hardware changes. The Mercedes community is active in Europe, with a large pool of available Stage files.
