AMG GTS - Opening valves on cold start

[Versicarius]

Hello,
I have a 2016 GTS that is currently stock, and I am looking at potentially installing the Renntech EVM to fully control the valves. I noticed that the valves are not supposed to be open on a cold start and even when the button is enabled, they don't open until the idle has dropped. I am wondering if the Renntech EVM allows you to keep the valves open at all times, even before the car is started, so that a cold start can be done with the valves open? A few times my valves have got 'stuck' open on a cold start and it sounds excellent, so I would like to be able to do that all the time.

Welcome to MBClub.

One to ask Renntech, to make sure you don’t buy something you wouldn’t have otherwise bought.

Have you tried starting in Race or Sports Plus modes?
