Flex Fuel Kits: Tuner Compatibility

There seems to be a couple flex fuel kits out there: Zeitronix and Fuel it. There may be others for this platform so please speak up. My concern is buying one and not having the capability to work with a BM3 tuners or other tuners at a later date for true flex fuel tunes (if/when they are developed). The BM3 flex fuel kit for older platforms seems to be designed specifically to work with BM3 tuners software. If I am wrong please explain. It would be great to hear from people already going down this road. Thanks guys.

You are thinking to far ahead and to far into it. The conti sensor that fuel it uses should interface just fine if and when thats a thing. The issue becomes where they decided to interface the sensor via can bus. We have no idea how long thats all going to take to figure out.

Yep!

For anyone interested, you need to get bm3 first BEFORE you unlock the dme with Femto.


For customers with already unlocked dme, they need to send it back to Femto for the custom rom
