As all tuners should be aware of, recent Mercedes ECUs are unfortunately locked and unsupported by all flashing tools manufacturers. All of them? Not exactly!

That's right, thanks to the fantastic bFlash R&D team, recent Mercedes can be tuned through a very simple and secure unlocking process.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

It is mandatory to own a bFlash tool in order to carry out the process. If you don't have yours yet, contact our team and we'll get you sorted.
