I'm a Mac guy too, but luckily I bought a like new windows 10 laptop just for esys. Not long after that the bimmercode app came out and I had no use for it. Good thing I hung on to it. Wonder if I can use the same cable as the esys cable.

 

I used UpRev for my Infiniti, and the license was on the cable, is this similar?

Will this run on a Mac with Windows emulation?

 

Can't speak to this specific bit of software, but Macs haven't emulated Windows since they switched to Intel processors, they actually run Windows. It might be easiest to make it work if you use Boot Camp, as that boots the Mac up in Windows and isn't running two OSs concurrently, but that said with some careful attention to settings I have never had a problem getting any of my Macs to run Windows only software in Parallels (VMWare not so much).

Hope that helps!

 

Semantics, Freudian Slip,
Im running Windows on Bootcamp.
Respectfully, the question was directed at Bytetronik, and their software.

 

We software is for the Windows platform; we don't have any Macs in our facility.

Yes, the license is on the cable.

 

I'll gladly trade!!!!

 

It should work on your Mac, using Bootcamp, and Windows.

 

can confirm it will work with VM Fusion.

 

Just a quick update: software is fully tested and everything worked as expected. Tested the end-user flashing cable and it's a GO

New plugs? Are they colder?

That threw a bit of a hitch into plug and play, dang

 

Yes, they are one step colder BMW plugs. Colder plugs are not required, but highly recommended (your Mini will be happier also).

 

Done!

 

First in line, nice!!

Waiting for Bytetronik to respond to PM before making descision.

 

Now i need to order a new plug socket.

 

Is your OBD2 flash detectable? If I'm running your stage 1 tune and then flash it back to stock, will the dealer be able to tell it has been flashed?

 

I flashed my Infiniti using the same method, and recoded the stock rom before going into the dealer, the dealer never knew.

 

Damn peer pressure. Form submitted

 

Ha! Knew you couldn't hold out for long.

My past experience with OBD tuners via cable was that the company (Uprev) would have me download my ECM ROM (DME ROM for MINI owners) via the license cable, and send them the ROM
Then my unlocked ROM would be returned to me for the tuner or me to manipulate.
Along with my stock ROM to reflash when needed.
A basic tuned ROM could be sent if requested, which could be tweaked if needed.
Not all of the same model cars had the same ROM. Thus sending the stock ROM in.

MINI has a mandatory DME reflash dated 4/2017, in which any MINI that came in to the dealer got flashed.
Mine is one of them.
If MINI supposedly has the same ROM for say all F56S models, there are now at least 2 different ones out there.
When you say you will include a stock tune (ROM), and a tuned ROM, where do you get the stock ROM?

I would be afraid "going back to stock" before going to the dealer would expose manipulation if my ROM wasn't the latest one.

 

We are working on updating the Installation Manual so there will be step-by-step instructions guiding our customers through the entire process. This manual should be completed by tomorrow and people on the List should be getting an online invoice from us. Shipping should commence by Friday.

In a nutshell, here is how the process should go:

1. Customer receives the OBD Flashing device
2. They install the FlashAccess software
3. They connect the OBD device and query their ecu
4. Email their ECU's software and hardware version over to us.
5. Within 24 hours, we will send over a rom file to flash into the ECU

We have access to the complete data base and can build a rom file for any MINI around the world (North America, UK, Asia, etc). If your ECU happens to be 'out-of-date', we can bring your SW up to the most current version available from BMW... We have been testing this exact process for the past week and everything is working as expected

 

thinking hard........trying to resist.......

 

Merry Christmas to me!!

 

That's exactly what I said when my Elite came in. It arrives back at the vendor today.

 

@Bytetronik

Thank you!

 

Does this tune work on automatic gearbox?

If so I noticed a limitation on another thread regarding horsepower increase due to the gearbox.
