HELP with BootMod3 (BM3) flash for my m4?

I'm interested in flashing my m4 with VRSF downpipes, stock midpipe with gutted secondary cats and a M-Performance Exhaust. I just ordered the ENET cable, i was wondering the following:

1) what adapter is required to be able to use your phone and eliminate the ENET and laptop?

2) is there a map for my mods? Catless downpipes, gutted secondarys and a catback MPE

3) what are some configurations that i should definitely load on my car? burbles is a must, what else?

4) Anything else I should know? any other information/tips/advice?

thanks guys!

you can't use anything else, this is not MHD

2) is there a map for my mods? Catless downpipes, gutted secondarys and a catback MPE
There are maps for the correct octane you run and mods

3) what are some configurations that i should definitely load on my car? burbles is a must, what else?
As with high compression motor your most important thing is octane, choose the correct map to suit octane soon burbles and cold start will be user adjustable

4) Anything else I should know? any other information/tips/advice?
Do a search and a bit of reading so much info on the boards.



thanks guys!

What whoop_ass was trying to tell you is that you will need the Enet cable to load maps to your ECU.
There is no other way to do it.

I just made the switch from Jb4 to BM3 on my FBO M4. Currently running Stage 2 OTS 91oct map, car pulls so much harder! I used to feel the Jb4 fell flat after 5.5k-6k rpm, not the same story with BM3.

Paired w/ BM3's TCU the M4 drives much smoother & pulls all the way to redline!

@Carythelabelguy is currently writing a custom tune for 91oct w/ WMI! I can only imagine how it will drive after!

Your alternative option would be to get the Agent Device (or make your own). You can store it in your armrest and wire the ENET cable to it without ever needing to worry about a laptop or wires. Just turn on hotspot on your phone and it will automatically connect to it.

Does the agent allow you to flash back to stock and lock the DME?

How do you transfer the stock software from your laptop to the agent?

Considering this option instead of taking the laptop each time.

Yes, the agent combined with the bootmod3 web application allow you to flash to stock and lock the dme.

Your stock file is on your account which can be downloaded, you can access the stock file on the laptop or agent device, through the BM3 mobile application.

Considering this option instead of taking the laptop each time.
