It arrived. I connected it, and it was as easy as claimed.
Seat of the pants, modest torque increase at low RPM … but after 3500rpm RPM, where the factory tune's torque flattens out and power increases slowly, the Dinan-modified torque kicks up again and pulls harder all the way through 5000. Very nice.
Great drivability around town at part throttle, although (of course) there is some increased torque steer when I open it up. Nothing crazy like the Mazdaspeed 3, but it's there. Feels not unlike the R53's mild torque steer.
The Dinan module is to the B46 engine what the 15% pulley is to the R53's supercharged engine. Cheap power, no drama. Recommended without hesitation.

Nope. The Bluetooth app shows boost but doesn't let me change settings. I need to contact Dinan about that to see if it's a known bug or something new. The settings are all disabled. :( The app is completely devoid of help or documentation. I didn't expect a lot but it isn't great.

The way it works it that you press the desired map at the bottom of the screen then hit the reload/refresh button just above... it will show the psi increase as the map indicator... +3.0 is the Sport+, +4.0 is race map.

EDIT: removed some ranting and cursing. Not constructive. My apologies to those who read it.

Just installed mine. Product works, app is odd as mentioned above with greyed out buttons. Install instructions assume you know how to disconnect the plug without being able to actually put a normal human sized hand on it. Customer telephone support, no answer by live humans, no call backs.
For the next guy, I used needle nosed pliers to squeeze tab while pushing connector apart with screwdriver. Did I miss something much easier? Did I needlessly inflict serious bloodshed on this?

I installed the Android app yesterday. I see greyed out buttons too at the bottom. And 2 on/off "toggle button" with no explanation of what they do...

The upper slider toggle turns off/on the boost monitor, and the lower slider toggle turnss off/on the boost settings menu to answer your earlier question though.
