I haven't connected the AP to the car yet as it is in storage for the Winter. If I do need the Beta firmware how do I downgrade? Just use the AP computer software?

Once you connect it to the car, it should bring up the proper maps for your car. Whoever sold it to you probably had an auto mini so that is why you are seeing these maps in AP manager.

So I had an AP for my 135i and I could go here to download all the maps available.

Is there anywhere where I can view/download all the maps available for the Mini AP? Is anyone hosting these files somewhere? Have NAM users gathered all the maps in one place so we can download them?

Yes. Stage 1 (no fmic) using your grade of fuel (91 or 92+).

Should remove the catless dp cel.

Does anyone have a MCS 07 Stage 1 with FMIC Map without the rev bumping up and down at idle? Since Alta gave up on it, I don't know who to ask anymore.

Is there a way to backup the stock ecu data the AP downloaded when installed? I don't see it in AP manager.

Thanks

Any one have a stage one 92 octane map? I have 2.5" exhaust, intake & catless downpipe.

Thanks.

Should be loaded on the AP. Have you installed it yet?

What is your ecu revision? H810b? H910b?

It had a bunch on tunes loaded but all were locked except one labeled stock

I'll double check on the ecu revision...

How do I check that? this is what my ecu data file looks like: MINI_US_R56_MCS_0089SD0GA00B_1_enc.rom

Hmmm... Sounds like the previous owner deleted all of the standard tunes and had new ones made for their ecu or it needs to be updated. Have you tried updating?

When you install it, it should ask if you have a H910B or something similar and you have to confirm. What did it say?

And how did you find the stock ecu file? I don't see it on mine.

They shouldn't be locked. I presume you bought the ap used. I'm not positive but if the maps are locked it could mean the AP is still married to another car. If so that's not good!

True. I didn't think of that. Will it install? What are the locked files named?

It's not locked I was able to program it with a tune labeled stock...

The ecu file was available in a drop down labeled ecu...

I don't recall seeing the H910B...
I'll check tomorrow right now it's in pieces getting the oil filter housing & oil pan gaskets replaced & coilovers installed

Locked tunes mean they aren't meant for your ECU. Does anyone have some other tunes they can email to Elsonordave? Most of the ones I had on there were for a JCW.

I can dump the H910B ones off mine and email...but needing to know which ecu revision you are looking for. When you install the AP, it should ask if it has the correct car by listing it in that format (H810B was another I know of). Also, what do your current maps list as ecu rev? See this link for an example: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ccessport.html

Maps are (or should be) preloaded on the AP. Not sure if an update would add in the maps. It might, but I have not tried it.

Have you tried updating the unit to see if that resolves it? Either standard update or beta update?
