Please pardon me for not having access to e blend fuels.

Please pardon me for not having a custom tune.

No additional hardware or $1k(+) custom tune required or, so I thought.

I purchased "BM3" because of their great reputation in the forums And,
they were a relatively economic option to tune my car.

If the latter would not have been a factor in my decision to purchase,
I would have just gone with EcuTek.

I was told, prior to purchase, by their support (Serge or Dzenan?) that
I would be b able to switch between 4 maps - "of my choosing".

"... grateful" - "Really?" For having purchased something which turns
out to be Not what was offered to me?!?

Sounds a little sycophantic!

They already posted they’re working on this too and you’re still crying LMAO dude just go get some tissues curl up and cry it out or something

Also had no clue.

I'm assuming this only works if you have appropriate FF hardware and/or E-content sensor installed?

Well that's not strictly true. I can flash my car with stage 1 or CS maps but if I want to do that on the fly I have to pay $100 for a map pack.

Unless you already had the map pack. I just added them to my available maps with no additional charges.

No assumptions made.

Yeah! Isn't that what this forum is for... therapy...?




[Edit:] RESOLVED!!!!

[TideMD]

Has anyone been able to use the iOS app for logging, checking codes, etc., (pretty much anything other than flashing the customROM maps) AFTER flashing a customROM map with the laptop version?

I successfully flashed my E85 map after converting it to a customROM file. Confirmed anti-lag works and all other configurable settings work.
However, the iOS app will not detect the VIN when using hardwired lighting adapter connection. I’m assuming it’s due to the huge differences in the new file systems and the iOS agent not being updated and compatible yet. But wanted to see if anyone else had managed to get it working.

Is anyone else unable to flash an old standard (not CustomROM converted) OTS Map with their phone? When I press Flash Now my phone app downloads the map from cloud, then gives an error saying my OBD Agent Needs Updating...? The phone app doesn't have a separate Agent app. Flashing a CustomROM using the phone gave the same error (which was expected, the map is newer than the phone App version)

I was at the gas station switching from E30s2 back to 93s2 and had to limp home to use the laptop. At home I converted the 93s2 map to CustomROM and flashed successfully.

I know PTF is likely swamped with support tickets, so I figure to ask you guys first...

You are correct, it will not flash anything from the phone right now. I posted my story from the other day where I had to push my car home to get internet. Have to wait for the app update to flash with the phone again

[BYT_M4C]

Just got the app update 😎

Flashed customrom yesterday morning with my laptop and checked my codes last night from my phone and it worked normally for me

Get the update it literally just came out

[jmciver]

So I flashed my car today and there were no conflicts with my Awron gauge (as BM3 and Awron use the same steering wheel buttons to access features). Or more specifically, there were no apparent errors. However, when changing maps with the steering wheel button, the Awron gauge will also change screens at the same time. But this is no big deal as when no longer in map switching mode, I can set my Awron gauge back to the screen I want without interfering with the map selection.

On a related note, I like how when you first start up the car, the tach will go to your map selection for a few seconds - just in case you for got which map you had previously selected .

Looks like I might have spun my crank hub testing out rolling Stage 1 anti lag

I've been running Stage 1 for quite a while now with no issues, but just got a drivetrain malfunction / crank hub angle tolerance error about ~15min after getting off the highway.



There goes a few grand at best

[M3RCILESS]

So the real questions is has anyone figured out how to use anti lag at a stand still to build boost prior to launching the car for drag racing purposes? If so could you post a step by step or how to video. I'm curious to see how anti lag would work from a stand still on dct car in gear trying to engage it at 3k+ rpms without it moving. I've asked PTF and they said it is possible but I don't see how I can do it. PLEASE HELP! I'm tired of being a slow guy! 😭

RIP. I'm not messing with anti lag on my car.

[MJ6]

So here's something I'm not sure is as intended, but I wanted to see if anyone has the same.

I installed one of Bend Calibrations Flex-Fuel kits awhile back in preparation for this release, so I loaded up the Stage 2 OTS CustomROM to make sure the fuel sensor read correctly. Great news, it was flawless (standard 10% ethanol content on 93 pump).

Satisfied that it worked, I converted my custom Cary tune for the anti-lag functionality, but out curiosity checked to see if the flex-fuel sensor still pulled up a reading. To my surprise it did.

I assumed that the flex-fuel function wouldn't be active on converted ROMs, so I'm not sure if this was by design and it's only reading but not functional, or if it was overlooked and is actually active.

Let's just say that the petrol-head in me is tempted to test the theory that flex-fuel is active on the converted map, but the realist in me doesn't believe its a good idea to test Murphy's Law.

[landonvan]

Just because you can check the E continent does not mean the tune you are on is tuned for it. I would assume. You would fill up and see your at about e50. And then load said tune.

[landonvan]

Also what app version/ agent version is this on.

Any chance you have CBC?

Delete app and reinstall. Had same issue. App needs to update to 0.30.

I believe there are a slew of codes that pop up when the SCH situation appears. Way more than what you showed so there is hope!

Have you tried starting/running the car since then?

[dirtygrid]

Is anyone else experiencing a rough idle on the OTS Stage 2 FlexFuel map (Map 3 93)? I'm running it without a sensor as I read it defaults to 93 but I'm having a strange idle
