How CarSMARTT Removed the Speed Limiter on a 2023 Mercedes Sprinter Van in Under 30 Minutes

At CarSMARTT, we pride ourselves on providing efficient and effective solutions for our customers. Recently, we had a client who needed the speed limiter removed on their 2023 Mercedes Sprinter van. The vehicle’s speed was capped at 65 MPH, which was too restrictive for their operational needs. While the Mercedes dealership was weeks out for an appointment and required the van to be dropped off for an entire day, we got the job done in under 30 minutes.

The Challenge: Mercedes Speed Limiter

Modern Mercedes Sprinter vans come equipped with factory-set speed limiters, which are programmed via the ECU. These restrictions, while beneficial for fleet management and safety purposes, can be a hindrance for certain commercial applications. The dealership quoted a 4-5 hour programming process, requiring a full-day drop-off, which was impractical for our client.

The Solution: OEM Xentry & Aftermarket Tooling

Using OEM Mercedes Xentry software along with specialized aftermarket tooling, our expert technicians were able to override the factory speed limiter settings and increase the top speed from 65 MPH to 100 MPH. This process involved:

  1. Connecting to the Vehicle’s ECU – We utilized the latest version of Xentry to communicate directly with the van’s control modules.
  2. Accessing Speed Limiter Settings – With proper authorization and coding adjustments, we accessed the parameter responsible for the speed limitation.
  3. Reprogramming the ECU – Using our aftermarket tools, we modified the necessary values safely and effectively.
  4. Verification & Testing – After reprogramming, we conducted a diagnostic check to ensure the settings were applied correctly and that no error codes were present.

The Results: Fast, Efficient, and Dealer-Level Quality

By leveraging our expertise and high-end diagnostic tools, we completed the entire process in less than 30 minutes, significantly faster than the 4-5 hours estimated by the dealership. The customer was back on the road the same day, without the hassle of a long wait time or the need to leave their vehicle overnight.
