+69 to the wheels…nice

[placebo0311]

Is there an upgrade path if you want to eventually get a flash tune? I'd hate to drop money on a piggyback and then pay another full price for a flash tune. I think I've seen one or two others have an upgrade option if and when a flash option comes out.

Nice increase.

Nice number.

Niceeeee.

I have been waiting for Dinan to come out with something like this as I trust their products. I don't need a massive tune that will destroy my motor, rather less HP that is safe for everyday use long term.

I believe Carbahn is the only company offering an optional factory warranty match with their stage 1 performance controller. You can also upgrade to their flash tune when it's released if you want. I got tired of waiting for the dme's to get cracked so I went with Carbahn and have no regrets. Don't want to sh*t on this thread but I'd be happy to share my thoughts/expierence so far if your interested.

Seems like they do. But only for full fledge tune products. Not the piggy back tunes. Which kind of makes sense. It’s not cost effective to warranty your entire car for a low cost given that some engines just might break regardless if it’s tuned or not.

He has a separate company, CarBahn, offering a similar product, but with an optional warranty for an extra $1k. I haven't heard of any reviews of his product though.

Nice! I didn't realize carbahn offered engine warranty option as well. May pick this up soon.

Wouldn't you just resell it?

Description: The DINANTRONICS X is the newest installment of Dinan's foray into inline tuning modules. Like its predecessors it is a highly engineered mix of computer hardware and software that enhances engine performance to levels the stock programming is not allowed to venture. It does this without affecting long term reliability or the functionality of on-board diagnostic systems when run under recommended operating variables. Unlike its predecessor however, the DINANTRONICS X is Bluetooth smart and offers convenient access to the adjustment of power levels directly from the palm of your hand. For those that do not wish to (or can't) alter their stock ECU with a more robust engine flash the DINANTRONICS X is a perfect alternative to satiate the craving for "more". Whichever level of engine tuning is ultimately chosen you can be sure to be pleased by the result.

NOTE(S): Please refer to the recommended mapping notice on the bottom of the product page for important operating information regarding octanes.

Features/Benefits:

• More Power: Max gains of up to +79 HP and +70 lb-ft TRQ (Crank); +69 HP and +63 lb-ft TRQ (Wheel) on competition package equipped cars. Refer to the charts below or the appropriate product page for gains on other variants.
• Bluetooth smart (Android and iOS Compatible).
• 7 power levels and a bypass setting to choose from.
• Smooth and predictable power delivery.
• On board diagnostics and factory safeguards maintained.
• Unaffected by dealer factory updates.
• Plug and play installation.
• 14 day satisfaction guarantee.

Is this piggyback similar to the F8X in that it "tricks" the computer to give more boost? AND bypasses some of the car's engine safety features??

I've been a big fan of DINAN; was one of the first to get Stage 1, 2, then 3 for my F82. Switched to the flash after talking with a DINAN rep at an event. I learned quite a bit about piggybacks sooooo I'd wait for the flash…

Good advice. Spent some time on Steve Dinah's new company website, though relatively new I'm inclined to take a closer look at his stuff as I've no doubt he's a bit of a purist, implying his quality would be excellent (not that Dinan is crappy). Not sure what to think about the $1000 warranty option, is it necessary?

As someone who's b58 blew likely due to a tune, I'd say a matching warranty is a make or break item. They're not infallible, so always use at your own discretion.

Eventually, once the newest encryption is resolved a Dinan+ flash offering will be available for the platform (along with the factory matching warranty that comes with it) but for the time being its just the DINANTRONICS X.

There's the Femto unlock. Are you waiting for a US company to unlock?

[Jeg_e90m3]

Anybody buy this yet?

Sorry for my ignorance, what is Fetmo?

[GoodGuyAvi]

Nice price too

[LSM]

Is this a rebadged racechip? Looks identical

[Dave07997S]

Very interesting, CARB EO pending.

[FLOSS M]

I put the Carbahn on and I am very happy… Dinan wasn't available at the time.
Once the full flash is available-you can upgrade to the full flash for $250 plus labor to remove piggyback. The warranty carries over if it was purchased with the piggyback.
