Kubax86 saved my hide

Long story short I had a really bad experience with Thor trying to flash their dynamic package (CS steering, GTS diff, Euro MDM) the flash failed and I had a permanent diff malfunction message. People said that my Istep had to be rolled back. Thor customer service is non-existent, they eventually went silent.

I initially wanted to learn how to do it myself but couldn't find much help on the forum, nobody wants to share the trade secrets I guess. I've reached out to a few people and Kuba said he could fix it. Not only was his price more reasonable than any other person willing to help, but upon fixing the issue he did the coding I wanted free of charge, that's what I call great customer service.

Thank you again

+1 for Kubax86. Has done all the coding on my car. Smooth, easy, and good pricing.

Glad you got it worked out! Thor went silent on me after I asked for a refund being that my "car is not supported." I have a 2020 M4 and I paid for the dynamic package as well, never even used it or redeemed the voucher, no customer service.

So was Kuba able to code the things you wanted from thor? Or other random coding? I'd really like to get these things coded still.

Thor coded my car incorrectly and Kubax86 noticed it while coding my CS EDC. He told me about and fixed it to GTS.

He can code it for you correctly. Very reasonable and great service.

Kubax coded two of my BMWs... one for full screen CarPlay, and my M4 for LCI taillights retrofit. Amazing customer service and professionalism. Awesome prices.

I'm glad I never paid for THOR_Flasher
They couldn't give me a detailed answer on my questions and differences in the maps regarding their own product.

Another endorsement for Kuba here. He just coded my car today and ensured that some upgrades that were already in place continued to operate even though it had nothing to do with the work I paid him for. Awesome work, very knowledgable and patient with his customers. I don’t post often but I wanted to ensure to give credit when it’s due.

In my view there are a very good tuners around, but if you are interested in coding and flashing, with e-sys and optionally esysultra or anything similiar, you can DIY and get a lifetime license for ~ 100 bucks.
