Should I get into coding & tuning?

Hey, long thread ahead.

I own a W212 E350 2010 (My lab rat), and I work in IT and I was thinking to get into cars coding and tuning as a side hustle to make some extra money.

I've learnt some main concepts:

\- Features variant coding

\- SCN coding

\- Remapping

\- The differences between C4/C5/C6

\- The softwares Xentry/DTS Monaco/Vediamo

My questions are for those who can help:

  1. Is C6 good enough? From what I learnt C6 is an after market invention and it can't do everything, but it seems to be the most popular and most spread world-wide so i need to know the limitations i will run into if i get one.

  2. What are some advise and tips from people in this domain? Is it good? Is it worth it? What should I keep in mind? Whats something you wish you knew before you get into this domain?

  3. Is my laptop going to be enough (along with my multiplexer) or will i need more advanced gear?
