Drivetrain Full Flash via OBD2 has arrived for the MINI-F56 Platform
#126
I’m thinking about doing it in shorts since it will be 20 this weekend. 1st time in positive temps in 2 weeks!!

I’m pretty sure my fedex driver is frozen. It’s “supposed” to arrive tomorrow
My headunit in my mini is messed up so they are doing a warranty replacement next week. Hopefully then I can Flash! I’m not sure what goes into replacing a headunit so I don’t want to flash this weekend then they flash it back to stock

Vinnie, in your case, it's best to wait until the dealer is done replacing the head unit. They would need to sync that head unit to your car, at the same time, the system will check and update the rest of the computers inside your MINI. So send us your 'detailed ECU info" after you get the car back from the dealer.

I feel for ya. As I was outside grilling brats last night it dropped into the low 50's.
My December gas bill, for house heat, hot water, and, of course, the outdoor grill, ran up to almost $70. Thank goodness MINIs are so inexpensive to operate, thus we can afford to keep warm and well fed
Think I'll take the boat out -- it's such a nice day

Received my package on Thursday night. Replaced the plugs and performed steps to read detailed data on Friday and emailed to BT. Received my structured tune on Saturday evening. Flashed the ECU this afternoon and took it out for a quick ride. Quite happy with the initial drive, need to play more when the weather is better suited for some spirited driving.

There weren’t any issues that were mentioned before. The throttle response you’re on par with the position of the pedal so there was never a lapse on pushing the pedal down and the engine response.
I had a huge smile on my face

I have been driving with the tune now for a few days. I can definitely say that it is more enjoyable to drive. You can feel the acceleration instantly. The torque is wonderful. She pulls hard any time you step on the pedal. Sport mode is quicker than ever. Much happier with the tune replacing my RaceChip Ultimate. I now have a RaceChip Ultimate for sale if anyone is interested.

I completely agree! Mini's should come from the factory this way, its truly a go-kart now.
Just cruising on the highway and a small tap on the pedal and you can tell the car just wants to go. It isn't a lurching feeling by any means but just a feeling of a lot of power that is waiting to go.

Correct! It does feel like the power is just waiting for you to release it and when you do, you are on your way. I still have to try sport mode more. Most of my driving has been in normal mode due to weather and traffic. Thank you Byte Tronik for the great service and for the awesome tune.
