Interesting. Would be worth trying. I would think they would take it back if it does not work. I have a great place to test the speed limiter right next to my house.

"This is a flash to improve throttle response and shifting performance, it is recommended for Turbo cars to get our Tuning Box kit instead."

This is probably the press tune that leaked right away. I've heard that is OK to combine the press tune and a tuning box, but I have never met anyone that did it. Any box tune will yield significantly better performance than this flash, but this flash is a nice little ancillary add-on, even though it is egregiously overpriced at the $1400 value.

On a handful of our shop projects we use the tuning box and autoflash in conjunction with each other for the best results. If anyone is interested in running both I can help with a package price in exchange for your product review!

I have had some experience with harnesses/piggyback chips for the F10/F12 as I used them in my 2013 M6, 2014 M6 with competition package, and now using the harness in my '14 M5 with the competition package. Exactly what parameters are you guys playing with in the case of your OBD flash? Besides the throttle response... I would be interested in running your flash in conjunction with the harness but your website and the person I talked to on the phone could not be very specific about the exact things the flash is supposed to accomplish.

... The harness I use is from ETG (Jags) - similar to yours - tapping into the boost/timing sensors. It gave me about 75hp at the wheels on a dyno on my '13 M6.
thanks
