Also very interested in options available out there. Been looking into JB4 and this seems to compliment it nicely. There's just a lot to take in and in not as technologically advance as some of you guys. Lol.
that's great news. hate to beat a dead horse here....where do we stand on JB4 integration.
We are working with Terry this week (and next) to optimize the 'back-end' flash for the JB4. It's much more convenient to data log & test out tunes now the flash thru OBD2 is fully functional

Will provide an update once things are finalized.
does it still require the initial bench flash to unlock OBD?
Or can u do OBD tuning without removal of ECU
Does your software give the user the ability to read and save the stock ecu software before flashing? If we want to flash back to 100% true stock software do we have that ability?

to add to that question, is the MAP a proprietary MAP? i don't mean sharing among vin's, i mean if someone were to get their own tune, could the OBD module be used to upload the file or is the start/end process a BT proprietary system.

Your ECU needs to be boot-mode on the bench in order to enable OBD2 flashing. So we will have your stock rom. To return it to OEM stock, there are a couple of methods: 1) Send the ECU back to us for a return to stock bench flash; 2) Use a factory type tool to flash the OEM map back into your ecu (can be done with BMW tool).

I'd also like to see some real results/improvements with the JB4 if you have any.
We are working with our Euro partners to test on their shop cars. Results to follow. JB4 results are not yet available b/c we are still testing with BMS.

I was hoping that your kits would have a simple return to stock come service time that the end user could do ��
With the optional FlashAccess OBD Module, you can flash the stock tune file back into the ECU and the car will run like stock, but the modified codes ("Patch") that allows OBD Flashing is still present. So if dealer does a software update, then it will wipe out this patch. At that time, you'll have to go to one of our dealers to get the "Patch" reapplied or mail us the ecu for a reflash.
No company in the world at this time can reflash the ECU via the OBD port without first applying this software patch (except for BMW and Bosch, of course).

Thanks for the reply i ment to ask the question when i saw you guys at the lohen dyno.
Why does the graph have a wobble at the top end then drop off.
On the UK Dyno Day, our Stage-1 "S" (Paul Webster MINI) made the most Torque and even beat out two F56 JCWs, but it was a couple of HP behind the Stage-2 mapped JCW... So clutch slippage could have definitely been a factor.
If you look at the other graph from the 1320's Mustang Dyno, the power graph is pretty straight... but the stock clutch was slipping when we were finalizing the tune.
On the streets, the car pulls like mad... and we are on the hunt for a Stage 2 clutch before we install the de-Cat and colder plugs; that's when we can turn the boost up from the current level of 18PSI
