bootmod3 device - in-car install demo

[proTUNING Freaks]

Hey guys,
For those of you that haven't had a chance to see our recent Instagram and Facebook posts here's a link to a quick video showing the bootmod3 agent device installed in the car for always-on connectivity and no laptop ever required in the car with you.

Takes about a minute to install and run the OBD Enet cable behind the plastic trim and into the glove box.



P.S. Wishing there was a way to embed posts here but a link will have to do for now unfortunately it seems.

Nice, so you don't need to have it hooked up 24/7 because some owners would have a AWRON gauge that they like, once this it installed in the OBD the gauge would go into maintenance mood.

Excellent work on concealing the wires!

Thank you and you got it. Its entirely optional to keep the device connected but in many cases running the live dash on an iOS or Android device will provide hundreds more data channels along with logging over just an Awron gauge along with other features we have in mind coming down the road.

Not being critical, but for us with 13" shoe size +, the OBD connector showing in the video is huge ... and whats tucked inside?

I am happy to license you my tiny homemade OBD ENET Wifi Gizmo

I wear shoe size 13 as well and never tap into it. Mine is a 6MT as well so lots of pedal action and I road course. Just my 2c.

Ok so it should be better for those of us with two pedals

Not if you use your left foot to brake

Do you really use your left foot to brake? If you do then you're just nostalgic towards a manual, the real deal, the only way LOL

Hahaha now we are OT, but sometimes when I go in R, my left foot hits the imaginary clutch pedal :

Back on topic, what's that black box inside the armrest?

Or for trail braking.

Hey that's pretty neat. Unfortunately the device already uses its wifi connection to tether to the hotspot for cloud access so it won't be able to use wifi to go to that OBD device.

Box inside the armrest is the bootmod3 agent which connects the car to the bootmod3 cloud and the app.

If any issues with clearance for people (which we honestly have never encountered) you could always grab this $6 extension cable to make it as slim as you'd like and attached the ENET cable to the other end of it:

The slim cable is a legit idea that way you can tuck it behind the panel I think I will go that route as soon as you guys take my money!!!

Also another questions with larger turbos since their is a little more turbo lag will the Off the Shelf Tunes account for the later boost and adjust the DCT down shift points for example to keep the transmission in a higher rev range so boost comes on cleaner.

I'm finding that the car shifts up assuming the faster spool from stock turbos and has turbo lag because the larger turbos don't spool as quickly or at the lower rpm ranges.

Thx

Already sent an email for second round beta and left a comment on IG (@bmw_grigiom3dio). Let me know asap!

Also, do you guys foresee the same issues regarding the Awron gauge on the CANBUS at the same as your device that it has with other devices?

I had an Awron gauge on my car when I first got it but had to get rid of it because it doesn't play well with the jb4

Waiting on my 2017 ZCP to arrive so i can pick this up

Funny you bring back this thread, we had another vid posted just this morning of the bootmod3 app with the live dash running on an older Android based Acer tablet, OBD agent device sitting in the armrest like shown in the vid in the OP and both the Acer tablet and OBD agent device tethered for internet to a hotspot on my Samsung S6 Edge phone sitting in my pocket

[chewbakam4]

I have my android phone mounted on a magnet based phone holder. Pretty sweet with a tablet guys!
