In this video I discuss the process of unlocking a Mercedes ECU with HP Tuners. A few important things to note: An internet connection is needed when flashing Not necessary to remove ECU First read and write is very long Subsequent changes are quick No credits are needed for […]
Mercedes just announced their new C63 will be a 4 cylinder hybrid platform, and they have released information about their electrified “73” platform.

I’ve been running a TCU tune for more than a month and several thousand miles. In this video I discuss some of the reflections and drivability of running a Morendi TCU tune.
This is a really quick video on replacing your Mercedes-Benz Key Fob battery. These tend to go in pairs, so if you are prompted to change one, it is a good time to change both. These take CR 2032 Batteries and can be found on Amazon here: https://amzn.to/3tLu44I (affiliate link).
Still in progress check back later! One of the increasingly popular discussions on FB CLS and, of course, tunedmercedes group is building custom air intakes. Apparently the black box dynos have been confirmed as real by a few people but most of those gains are for “tuned cars” with waste […]

In the second part of my sub install in a Mercedes CLS or E class I mounted the amplifier. I wish I had never done it this way but take this post as learning from some of my mistakes and use the benefit of my retrospect for your install. If […]
Adding a subwoofer can add to new sensation of frequencies factory drivers don’t hit. I went with 2 – ten inch jl audio 10w0v3. While back in the 1990s the W0 I didn’t pay much attention to, running a JL 18w6. I enjoy the new w0v3 series. The new 10w6 […]

In my search for TCU tuning I found a tidbit from MBworld.org, a user there suggested Morendi for TCU tuning and to reach out to them by Instagram. Well I did. The price is great at $750 for a TCU tune plus the cost of a tactrix 2.0 openport. […]
I came across Solo Motorsports from a recommendation on the TunedMercedes and other tuner fb groups when looking for who has TCU tunes and was pointed at the usual suspects, plus Solo Motorsports.
