Just message him and he can adjust the exhaust back to the burbles or stock sound. I am running Akro DP and Akro full Evo and it's too loud with stock burbles (not too loud in a good way).

That is if you have our motor tune. Can not adjust exhaust noises with just basic coding

Sent you a PM.

Really looking forward to getting this done!!
Does Alex send you a flash drive that you plug into the F8X or sends files via internet that I download and use an ENET cable to upload to the car?

thanks!

Sends you a cable to connect to car. Then pretty much walks you through it. Easy.

Just wanted to take a minute to thank Alex@alpinemss for coding my car today. Even though I had an old MacBook and slow internet he made it work. The car has changed so much in a good way, it's unbelievable. If you haven't coded your car yet to the GTS version you're missing out. Mirrors fold, I can watch dvd's, to many things to list. Unbeatable price

same experience with Alex! I love the closing sideviews and how the seat adjusts away for easy access. But, my favorite is how the comfort has changed. The CS EDC has really made my H&R super sports so much better, its not nearly as jarring and almost feels oem now, so happy

I cant really feel the diff...
The gts steering is nice, almost adds more comfort in comfort mode, but more sport and tightness in sport mode

I'm interested!

Just picked up a 2018 M4 and would like to get some coding done. Once I get used to this new found power I would definitely want to get your stage 2 tune as well

couldn't find pricing on the coding, how much is it? is it per code?

Is there any risk with running gear doing this coding? I mean HAS THE GTS actually got a different DCT or is it just software? Hate to code it in which breaks the transmission eventually....

GTS EPS (Electronic Power Steering) *Stiffens steering for better control/handling with more advance power assist.
- any feedback on the difference? Love it if this meant better road feel...

GTS Traction Control *Givens more slip in MDM and allows better traction control settings (you can select this or euro MDM not both)
- do Australian cars get euro mdm or US MDM?
- does anyone have observation on the two options gts vs euro

GTS Differential *Allows for better take off from the line and better control on turns.
- as above

No Dazzle High Beam assist (for cars with LED lighting package only)
YouTube Video of Feature
Adaptive Headlight 2 (Variable Light Distribution)
- not clear on the differences between these options

Removal Of Seat Belt Chimes
Removal Of Seat Belt Warnings
- difference?

Windows up/down with key
Windows up with comfort access (Comfort Access Required)
Folding Mirrors with key (option of instant fold on lock or hold to fold on lock)
Folding Mirrors with comfort access (option of instant fold on lock or hold to fold on lock)
- understand the features, just not comfort access?

Radio/iDrive shutdown when car is turned off and door is opened
- when does this normally occur? Or is this a delete option. I'd prefer it when locked.

Remove Amber Side Marker Lights in headlights
- what's this?

Auto Start/Stop feature default to off or memory
- elaborate

Taillights as Daytime Running Lights
- sounds cool, is it legal in Aus?

Activate DVDinMotion (Play Videos on the go and stopped) (2017+ modelsDVD/Video in motion can only be done in person Los Angeles or New York)
- ok silly question - I take it you had to take the factory option of tv? Don't shoot me for asking.

Removal of camera warnings (requires cameras)
- what are the camera warnings? Just a warning before using?

Auto Climate Control off when car is turned on if left off previously
- I take it the default is on always otherwise

Change gong to Rolls Royce/i3 gong
- what's this?

Add Office & Enhanced USB (6NS) to iDrive
- what's this

Driver seat moves back when ignition is turned off
- what are people's suggested settings for seats?
Comp Package EDC (you can either select this or CS EDC not both)
CS EDC (you can either select this or Comp EDC not both)
- thoughts on one vs the other? Are there actual hardware differences between the models or is it all software?
Bump... i would like to know as well.

I'm trying to decide on what options to go with.

Finally got with the program and had Alex code my civic '15 M3 to full GTS spec(mostly anyways) with a dash of CS EDC! I am falling in love with the car again and will report back after more driving...

Alex,

Thanks again for coding my car after the dealership erased my coding with a software update! Small fee charged. Great work and I look forward to using you for my Stage II+ tune next month!
