I really appricate the help...

As I can recall the only potential place that I got the keycode was in the actual credit card entry screen.

It is not in my .mim (there is a "KEY =" line that is blank)

And it is not in my emails...

I will email VK as suggested...

Thanks for the help !!

 

I would email him now....I did about 15mins ago and just got a response back.

 

Thanks Guys for all the support here ....

Wish MTH would acknowledge they need a better system for Non German speaking users.

but, hey... I am good to go thanks to Franz :smile:

 

anybody got any idea where they are getting this power/torque from,

from what ive heard the rad cooling fan kicks in a lot earlier even when driving, is the power gained from the coolant keeping the block cooler?
whats the chances of damage to the fan from being continously on?
just some food for thought.

 

Mine isn't running any cooler. The fans do come on a little sooner to help with heat soak, that's about it.Running radiator fans don't do a thing when the car is moving.

 

thanks

 

Hi! My car doesnt start now!! I emailed volker my files in order to make an upgrade to my existing files and he answered me that my files were far short (60kb) and need to be 120kb so 1 hour ago i identified my car and downloaded my existing file to send it to him and after that i tried to start the car and oh surprise! It doesnt start! I tied everything rewrite my data, read it again, verify, and i get the same message: select the correct electronics.

What can i do??

 

Be sure to start a new thread in the MTH - Official Support forum as Volker and Franz are notified by email when new threads are created. Given this they can respond when they see it.

Best regards,

Mark

 

Thanks i didnt know there was a mth forum.

 

Yes...it launched last week and Volker and Franz (and other MTH specialists) will be here full time. This thread is now located in the MTH forum as well. Enjoy

Hi guys,

I been reading the MTH threads for quite a while and recently contacted MTH to purchase a new map, with confidence thanks to all the informative posts I seen on this site and Mini2.

After uploading the new MTH file to my mini I did the ECU reset (details at bottom of post) which many people have advised, so that the ECU would re-learn my driving style, hopefully getting a little more benefit from my MTH remap.

Everything went very smoothly, and the car is running very well, except for one small thing my Air Conditioning has stopped working. When I press the Air Con switch the light doesn't even come on, and the air is NOT cooled.

It looks like I'll have to go grovelling to my local Mini Dealear, but would appreciate any ideas you guys may have.

 

How did you reset your DME?

 

eeney -

Have you tried to restore your original file (the one you sent to MTH) and then checking the AC again?

If it still doesn't work after restoring the original file, then you need not worry about MTH being an influence.

If it does work after the original file is restored, then I would try loading the MTH file once more to see if that is what triggered the event.

Perhaps MTH can add some wisdom here...

I re-installed the original MTH file, and still no AirCon so that pretty much rules out MTH.

The steps I used to reset the ECU, are detailed at the foot of the email. Although, Volkner at MTH informs me that this procedures will not reset the ECU.

I'll call the dealer today and hope that he'll show some sympathy.





Reset procedure used:

 

I don't think the problem is MTH. I have had problems with my AC doing that before I even knew about MTH. You need to take it into the dealer.

 

Thats why i wanted to know b.c unless you have the $50k machine in my shop, your not resetting anything.

 

I was lead to beleive that the Reset through the TEST 21 reset learned driving habits and nothing else. Similar to leaving the battery off for a while.

 

Theres really nothing to reset.....These car are adapative to the way the cars being driven. Even if you "cleared" the DME its goin to drive the same way it did b4.

a·dap·tive [ ə dáptiv ]

adjective Definitions: usable in different conditions: able to be adjusted for use in different conditions

The system is always adjusting itself everytime you drive the car. There is no reason to clear anything.

 

Does MTH adjust change the adaptability of the ECU? I was at the track last friday and after a day of 14mpg driving I filled up for the drive home. The mileage range came up at under 200 miles with a full tank. 100 miles later it was at 300. It never did that before.

 

The reason why it goes from 200 to 300 is because you are no longer getting 14 MPG, you are now back to normal HWY milage. look at it like this (14 mpg X 10 gl = 140miles) but (30 mpg X 10 gl = 300miles)

From my experience milage seems to get a little better after a hard day at the track, does not last long after a couple of days its back to its old habits.
I should explain: normally when I fill up and reset trip computer and take off on a long highway drive like say from NY to D.C. the trip computer will average say 32 MPG, but on the way home from the track after a fillup it will average 35 to 36 MPG on the way home.

 

I know it's somewhere in this thread but I'll ask anyway. With the tuner file I notice that the revs drop faster at the low rpms..sort of like a normal car. I can't remember if there was any technical term for it.

The ecu is still learning my driving habits but so far the drivable has improved and I don't seem to have to step on the gas as hard when I am in 6th gear on the freeway. I think the next step is a pulley.

 

I've got a question guys. I've been fiddling around all day but i can't get the Cartune to work with my car.

I think i've selected the right com-port (com-port 4 in my case) and i've downloaded the OBD-driver for the USB cable.

When i select the "ID" button there is something happening and after 20 seconds or so, it says:
---------------
CarIdentBtn

car electronics 000000 is unknown
---------------

What am i doing wrong?!?

Cheers,
Peter

 

sorry, double post

 

Peter,
I had the same problem. Try to uninstall the drivers and plug the wire into a different usb port and re-install the drivers. After I did that it worked fine. It wouldn't work with the usb ports on the back, but I had one on the side that worked. I hope this helps you! -- Johan

 

Thanks Johan!

I'll try it tonight...
