Frequently Asked Questions
Does this cover the GL63 AMG with the M157 engine?
Yes. The X166-generation GL63 AMG is fully covered, including the 5.5L M157 biturbo V8, AMG-specific transmission calibration data, performance brake specifications, and AMG suspension settings introduced for the 2013 model year.
Does the software cover both X164 and X166 chassis in one package?
Yes. A single installation covers both the first-generation X164 (2006-2012) and the second-generation X166 (2013-2016), with model-year and engine-code filtering built into the search interface so you pull up only the procedures relevant to your specific vehicle.

Yes. The software includes interactive, color-coded wiring diagrams for every electrical system – including AIRMATIC air suspension circuits, CAN-bus network layouts, COMAND infotainment wiring, lighting control modules, and all sensor and actuator circuits with connector locations.
What format is the manual?
This is NOT a PDF. It is OEM Mercedes-Benz dealer software delivered as a VMware Player virtual machine. The software replicates the exact diagnostic and repair environment used at authorized dealerships, including searchable repair procedures, electronic parts catalog (EPC), guided diagnostics, and service interval reset functions.
