Yes if you want to do that, feel free to PM me and I can pass it onto XHP.

Or even open another support ticket, the more of us report the same issue, the more likely they will fix it sooner.

If you are recording a video, do a slow pull from M2 in Comfort from stand still, and when up to speed mention as you shift up first time that nothing happens and instrument cluster display still says 2nd (best to record RPM's as well and prove they do not drop as you would expect when you shift up). Then shift up again and the RPMs will drop and display will indicate 3rd gear

Does that sorta make sense?

Hi mate,

I contacted them last night explaining the issues and they seem to have provided me with revised maps this morning. I'm going to give them a quick go now and report back.

In the app, it still states v1.0, so I don't know if these are just beta maps that are specific to my VIN for testing. I'll keep you posted with what I find 🙂.

They said the same to me a few days ago but it didin’t work! Anyway keep us updated please.

Thanks!

They just sent me a custom one and I've given it a quick ride out. Car now downshifts into 1st in all modes so hopefully they should roll that out in all maps pretty sharpish

Updates will be released in the next hour for all maps 👍🏻

Nice to see that they sorted it out.👍

Awesome. I can see it in the app changelog now as well!

[BMWM4CX]

Anybody found optional settings and care to share them?

I gave Stage 3 a good run out yesterday and whilst the shift speeds are brilliant and there are no issues, it's just a little too harsh on the upshifts (in Sports+ and S3) for my preference.
I've dropped it back to Stage 2 as I think this is the sweet spot for me, but going to modify the downshift blip percentages to get a bit more kick/noise on the downshifts.

Can anyone take a quick video showing you pressing the shift paddle a few times during WOT to redline? Thanks!

I'd like to flash this but I'm worried about the "kick" on shifts because I don't see that as a good thing. Shifts should be as fast as possible while being as smooth as possible and not upset the drivetrain and car balance. This is especially important to those of us that track.

To be fair man, this 'kick' is really only present in the harshest of settings. Stage 2 would do you just fine.

Anyone get this tune for the G83. I bought it yesterday and tried to flash my car but the app says my car is unsupported.

Can you flash back to stock with this?

This and I wonder if TCU tune would be detectable when reverting back to stock.

But does the Stage 2 map shift as fast as Stage 3?

Obviously not or what would be the point of it 😂

So then this flash is completely pointless. That's all I wanted to know.

I despair, I really do.

Anyone who has a stock tone or a piggyback lime racechip or jb4 have yet measured with draggy stock tcu vs xhp ?

Hey guys , for those who done it , which dongle do you use? I try with black mhd and result is TCU NOT SUPPORTED

You must use THOR wireless adapter or Orange MHD adapter.

If you do flash, report back with results and impressions particularly on shift speeds and the "kick" when downshifting or upshifting. Sounds like Stage 3 is too violent and uncomfortable for most people.

I'm still on the fence and skeptical about this flash but I'm also not crazy about how the stock programming shifts.

Confused over the adapter options. Currently on JB4, but looking towards a full ECU tune and do not want to have multiple adapters.

Best adapter options that can take care of xHP transmission tune and MHD ECU tuning and maybe also for coding?

Is the Kies ENET or THOR suitable for the purpose?

Bimmerconnect.com states the black MHD flasher adapter (F and G series): "Adapter are compatible with your favorite other apps - xHP Flashtool, xDelete, THOR - the M Flasher, BimmerGeeks Pro-Tool, Bimmercode and many more."

But in this tread it looks like the orange MHD adapter is the option for xHP transmission tune for our G8X.

So I can provide some insight, having flashed my car with BM3 and XHP.

I used a generic ENET WiFi dongle to flash my car over BM3 (the same adapter will work on MHD too) - this is the bigger style adapter, similar to MHD Black (the one I got was from BMDiag co uk)

When trying to flash XHP, this adapter is not supported for "first time" flash. So I borrowed my friends MHD Orange adapter (smaller style adapter, you can also use THOR or XHP adapter).

Once the XHP software is installed onto the TCU, you can use any WiFi ENET adapter - for example I can now use my generic ENET WiFi adapter to flash a different XHP map or settings and it works fine and is very quick, about 15 seconds to flash XHP map or a new BM3 map.

It is confusing why for first time flash you have to use a smaller style adapter (MHD orange, THOR, XHP) but it may be because of the hardware supporting different communication protocols? The first time flash is more involved and takes about 3/4 minutes as it takes a backup of your stock firmware and flashes an entire new firmware. Once this is done, flashing a XHP map is just a case of uploading some configuration onto the TCU so it is much quicker. I guess they did it this way because the smaller style adapters are more reliable or have been tested properly?

In any case, if you have a friend with the smaller adapter, maybe you can borrow it to do the XHP flash, and just get a generic ENET WiFi adapter or a MHD Black adapter which will then work for everything
