RENNtech DJ Van @ The Detroit Auto Show

via emercedesbenz:
Mercedes-Benz Vans is displaying a special DJ Van from RENNtech in the lobby of Cobo Hall during NAIAS press days, just outside of the Mercedes-Benz booth. Notable Detroit-based DJ Jenny LaFemme will be providing musical entertainment to those in the vicinity on January 12 and 13. The van features a fully-functional DJ setup and a raised roof with plenty of speakers to make its presence known.
The RENNtech DJ Van was one of four vans at SEMA in November 2014 at the Mercedes-Benz Vans “Mission: Metris” display. This gathering of concept vans was designed to be a first glimpse of the Mercedes-Benz Metris, which goes on sale in fall 2015 as both a passenger and commercial van. SEMA attendees were able to vote on their favorite concept via various social media channels. The RENNtech DJ Van was the clear winner of the Mission: Metris contest due to its striking design and overall audio/visual effects, and will be shown alongside the U.S. production versions of the Mercedes-Benz Metris at their premiere at NTEA in March.
Representatives from Mercedes-Benz Vans USA and RENNtech will be on site for product walkarounds and more detailed product information.

R.A.T. (RENNtech Auto Tuner)


RENNtech has introduced a new revolutionary Auto Tuner for Mercedes-Benz vehicles. For the first time, you can reprogram your ECU simply by plugging in the new R.A.T. (RENNtech Auto Tuner). No need to remove the ECU!! Once the reprogramming is complete (about 90 seconds), you can easily switch between stock, for street use, and tuned, for the track, with the flick of a switch.

The R.A.T. is shipped out preprogrammed with RENNtech’s list of firmware and can be sent anywhere in the world. When first plugged into your Mercedes-Benz via the OBD II port, the tuner “marries” itself and uploads the proper file. If the proper file is not already available or you would like to have a custom file made, simply plug the R.A.T. into your computer. The vehicle data is sent to RENNtech and, after being tested, your new file is emailed back to you. If you lose power or the R.A.T. is disconnected while uploading the file, the tuner is designed to automatically recover the stock programming.

The R.A.T. is available for the Mercedes-Benz E55 and 2006, or earlier, Mercedes V12 Turbos. See our website for more info.

It is the first compact sport utility vehicle (SUV) from Mercedes-Benz and the first Mercedes-Benz SUV ‘Made in Bremen’, so I am particularly delighted to personally hand over the first GLK to its owner.
