♛ OFFICIAL ♛ OBDII Port Flashing Is NOW Available



The question was never "IF" full port flashing would become available,
but rather "WHEN" it would be a reality. Well, it's finally here and now the
questions will revolve around "HOW" it works, and '"WHAT" features it would
offer at the consumer level.


For those of you who have been following our "HEX Tuning - Master Thread"-----<-------- (Click to Jump)
you've been privy to the bulk of content regarding our various Stage Level
options, dyno plots, customer reviews, and customer service efforts to
support a very enthusiastic market.

With this new advancement in the ability to flash program the ECU directly
through the OBDII Port, all of those same features and benefits remain the
same, with the barrier of entry of removing the ECU no longer necessary.

F-series BMW owners can now purchase our HEX Flash User Device, download
the HEX Flash Program to your Windows based PC or tablet, and program the
ECU with any of our performance stage levels while retaining the ability to flash
the ECU back to stock at any point in time.



This new thread will serve as the source for Port Flashing information which
will include video tutorials, customer reviews, and any future updates to the
HEX Tuning Program that will benefit future uses.

This is an exciting time and we look forward to adding many new HEX Tuning
customers this holiday season and into the new year.


Stay Tuned!

Very exciting and subscribed! We have 92 octane up here in WA state and the Portland metro area. Can the flash tune be calibrated to 92 octane?

Just a reminder, the introductory pricing ends this Friday before the
Holiday weekend begins.

ONLY company who offers a 30-day Money Back Guarantee!
There's no better way to put our own money where our mouth is than
to guarantee complete and total customer satisfaction with a no questions
asked return policy.

Will those new features be added to the current HEX software or will there need to be a new download of the software that has the added features?

Those features are built into the HEX Flash Program, so existing customers
will simply need to download the latest version to their laptop or tablet.

Installed the Hex tune via OBDII last night. Flawless install. Took about 20 minutes. Couldn't get a "true" test drive last night with wet roads and rush hour traffic, but it's clearly obvious that there is lot of new power. The cold start roar is sweet too. Looking forward to doing more testing and driving with it. Very pleased so far.

How much boost is your stage 1 running? What type of Air Fuel Ratios are being targeted? Should one gap plugs with stage one software? Thank you.

Ironically got to really test it out today with a 2 day break in during our long rainy season in WA. Absolutely amazing and really gets your heart racing. Pulls so hard. Acceleration is brutal and intense. Zero issues thus far since installing the tune. Smooth OEM drivability around town when not getting on it which I really like too. Car is totally transformed in M mode. Had Dinan Stage 2 prior and this feels more powerful. Very pleased and recommended.

Does the flash counter cause issues over time, can only be flashed so many times, etc?

Does the 30 day money back guarantee still exist? Want to try a tune, but not sure my wife will let it stay on the car, don't wanna drop 1500 bucks on a paper weight comparable when she complains too much...
