*** bootmod3 - OBD Agent Update, faster flash times ***

[proTUNING Freaks]

Wanted to share some news with you guys New OBD Agent is out and in this release we enhanced flashing and took quick flashes and unlock times further down.

Current BM3 flash stats:

Total flash time to switch map = 36secs. That includes 5secs to run a preconditions check on the car to make sure its ready to flash (some tools either skip this entirely or do a very basic battery voltage check), 25secs to do the actual flash, and 6secs to recode to the DME (some tools require you to do this after flashing manually).

The very first flash on a car that hasn't been tuned takes 3mins 30secs start to finish

For reference, some other tools take 20mins with a special cable (50mins with a basic cable) for the very first flash and 2.5-5mins to switch a map. On dual DME cars flash times are doubled. In addition to that some tools require coding data to be managed and flashed separately from flashing the DME as a secondary step.

bootmod3 always uses your factory OEM software version and tunes with it and activation is instant at the time of checkout after which you simply activate with your license key, pick an OTS map, flash and go.

Version 0.010.032 of the OBD Agent is now out and the update will be automatically downloaded on your next run of the agent.

Have a great weekend!

It's already more bang for your buck than most other tuning options that are a true flash and not a piggyback. If anything they should be raising the price in my humble opinion.

[whoop_ass]

good work as usual dzenno!!!

Pretty much eliminate the need for a battery charger while flashing?

Hey,

I've been following "BM3" for a while now and am very interested. I'm only waiting until November for my warranty
to be up to add this to a few additional mod's then.

For it to be truly used to its' full ("on the fly") potential, you have to have the "OBD Agent" box.

Could you consider any "Combo" deals/discounts??

Yeah, easy to say when you already have it!?!


Cheers!

You can make the wifi box yourself like some people have done

[gman_newyork]

You can switch on the fly with a laptop and mobile hotspot as I did for some time. Just recently picked up the Wifi Agent off the Facebook page for a great price. Check out the BMW FX S55 Classifieds group on FB. There are deals out there if you do some searching. Happy hunting

One guy here set up the OBD agent on a small windows tablet and runs it that way just opens a browser on it pretty cool too actually.

Is it also 3.5 mins to flash to stock and lock?

[chewbakam4]

Yeah
