I can tell it’s a sophisticated, well-engineered, polished map. Extremely smooth and from the moment the lump of torque arrives at the onset of boost, all the way to high rpm it is progressive and smooth with no surging. I have done multiple M3/M4’s with "■■■■■■" in 1 month & none of those cars were as smooth as this one. We were thoroughly impressed with the professionalism of your team as well.

Questions -
1. All flashes are via bench flashing, correct? 2. You noted "User Controlled Program Switching." What programs are being switched? Stock --> Stage 1 --> Stage 2/2+? How would this work other than through OBDII? 3. TCU flash is done via bench flash as well? 4. Will this affect my warranty? Just kidding. |

Yes, remote flashing is currently under development, unfortunately we cannot guarantee a timeline for official release...which is simply the nature of tuning modern ECU's.
That being said Port Switching is a feature that we have enabled with this current re-release of our ECU software. IE: If you send in your ECU for unlocking, you will then be able to switch back to stock, or switch to other Stage Power Levels on your own using our HEX Tuning OBDII tool. As described above, this is available now! |

I am going to post the typical obvious questions... what tables are you altering? Do you have full control of the fueling, timing, vanos, boost, WGDC and so forth?

The process of flashing (as well as switching) can then be accomplished via OBDII port. Quote:

TCU Upgrades are currently only being offered in person at our Southern California location, or at Authorized HEX Tuning Dealers who are equipped with our flashing equipment. I will provide the list of Authorized Dealers as the dealer tools are sent out, and after they have been properly trained with the new equipment. |

Obviously we won't be able to divulge the full details as this is not open source and our calibrations are proprietary, but as you will see in the videos and dyno plots we will be posting today and tomorrow, we have spent quite a bit of time in R&D and testing to provide some pretty cool features and impressive power levels. |

We'll be looking to finalize the training with an East Coast Dealer/Distributor soon enough after their tools arrive and we can schedule our flight. (will provide more details when the time is near) There is also a very good chance that for non-California M3/M4 owners ... we will be planning a 'Flashing Tour' where we will visit a handful of major cities this Spring/Summer and do a flashing/dyno day with exclusive dealers. |

Not yet.
We have many international resellers for our Supercharger Systems for BMW, Porsche, Audi, Lamborghini, etc... and we hope to convert one or more of them to HEX Tuning Authorized Installers soon. Obviously getting to Australia is a more significant trip than say Florida or New York, so you always have the option of shipping us your ECU for engine software...and you'll just have to hold tight for a little while if you're looking for TCU software. |
