Attention Florida Customers: If you are local to Active Autowerke (9940 SW 168th Terrace, Miami, FL 33157), there is no need to purchase the Simon Cable. All you need to do is purchase the map from Extreme Power House and drive down to AA for a free install.

I've had a hard time finding any feedback on your tunes for the F10 M5. The Dyno numbers seem low - but with so many variables and different dynos- hard to know what I would get.
My 2013 only has a muffler delete currently, eventually will have more.

Made 567/537 on a Dynojet last week.

You have any Other customer dyno results or threads to review?

Please keep in mind dyno used is the AA mustang Dyno, this is not a dynojet.
Mustang dyno read significantly lower than Dynojet.

Active Autowerke flash will provide more power than any other tune on the market (Off the shelf maps comparison).

Which this sounds great- assuming it's a good safe tune.

I'm just surprised I can't get anyone to give any direct feedback on the product. I am having a hard time finding any info out there because everything seems to be the active 8 tune that I can find which I assumed was different/ not the flash tune.

Also, is there a clear picture of this Dyno run so I can actually read the numbers etc more easily? This copy is so blurry for some reason.

ODB flash tunes have not been around long so you may not get a ton of feedback. I live in Miami and AA is a reputable shop that’s been around for a long time. I’ve got the Active8 piggy and it’s been bulletproof.

I suggest you reach out to Andrew at AA and ask all the questions you may have.

Their support is great as well.

Good luck.

Sure, thanks.
I realize the flashing ability hasn't been around long- is the active8 old tune basically the same as the new flash tune just being applied in a different way?

It’s similiar to the tunes they had before that required drilling DME’s; now it’s via OBD. The Active8’s a module so a very different type of tune and limited in many ways.

Do a search on the on piggy versus tune and you’ll get enough to read for a couple of days. Either way, reach out to them and ask away.

Compare delta of OTS maps from different dynos graphs... From all the dynos i have seen Active is offering the most torque and best power curve.

Just because you haven't seen something doesn't mean you offer the latest and greatest. I'm just saying. Not trying to start anything, just making a simple observation. I would never say I'm the best wo going head to head work the best. Either way, I'm happy there's various files out there that will work for the masses.

I have been dealing with Active for 5 years. They are one of the most professional companies i ever dealt with. They offer awesome products and top notch customer service to go with it.
