We don't carry a power module or tune for the N18 Yet. But some people go the independent flash tune like Manic.

Installation was straightforward but it's a bit tricky to line up the TMAP plug -- pretty tight in there between the radiator hose and the manifold. The sensor is mounted at a down angle so i used a needlenose to get it all lined up before locking it in. I unbolted the outboard 10mm bolt that secures the airbox, lifted that corner of the airbox assembly slightly, and slid the Dinan cable under so the fit is clean, as shown. (the bolt is near where I mounted the Dinan box).

I'm a bit challenged with the iPhone app -- my phone linked with the Dinan easily but I'm getting readings that don't make any sense. I have a second call in to Dinan to get a little guidance. Surprised at the absence of any documentation/instructions beyond the simple installation guide on the Dinan web site.

It would be nice for the iPhone app to work as well as the Android one does but, until then, I'll cope.

Admittedly, the iPhone app leaves quite a bit to be desired. I've also found the boost gauge to be unreliable and simple configuration to be less intuitive than the Android version. My solution for this is to use a spare Android tablet when I want to play with the Dinan settings though, to be fair, I haven't changed it or used the boost gauge in a couple of weeks.

NM and Dinan tap the single sensor (TMAP). JB 4 is more complex, taps more sensors, connects to the OBDII port under the dash, and has some cool instrument cluster features that use the tach and the turn indicators and the fuel gauge in 3rd gen cars. More $ for the JB.
The old JB+ isn't for B48's.
What you get with all of these is a few PSI added boost.
And you can feel it fo sho!

Low: +3 psi
High: +5 psi
Dinantronics (Four Fixed Settings, Bluetooth, TMAP Connection)
Valet: -3 psi
Sport: +2 psi
Sport+: +3 psi
Race: +4 psi
BMS JB4 (Two Maps Currently, USB/Bluetooth, TMAP/MAP/OBD)
Map 1: +4 psi
Map 2: +6 psi
From my dyno results, every psi is equal to approximately 8 HP and 8 ft-lbs on the B48/B46. Hence, just looking from power gain potential, the NM box might have a very slight edge on the Dinantronics.
I am running a JB4 on my F56 and a Dinantronics on the F48 X1.

New Dinan iPhone app version 1.1 is out
The new iPhone app is an improvement, once you get it working. Dan at Dinan walked me through the steps. After I deleted the old app and downloaded the new version 1.1 into my phone, Dan had me shut down my phone, reboot my phone, then, making sure my MINI was fully asleep and the red light on the Dinan box under the hood was not lit, I turned on the ignition (but did not start the car) and, upon opening the DinanS app, my phone found the Sport Tuner within seconds and I think the calibration was successful.
The bottom row of buttons on the phone screen for the various power settings now has white (instead of grayed out) buttons, the little blue down arrow is now a blue circle with a O instead of the down arrow, and connectivity seems to have improved.

Did you see the Clubman Sales? Looks like everyone wants one.
