There's no need to go back to stock. Its recommended but not required.

That's how it is

Go to Diagnostic > DME Read it will save your current map I believe
Since you have a 2011 M5 you can also try to update your iStep level before activating BM3 if u just want to wipe your current tune.

UPDATE:

V52 pushed out last night has a number of enhancement updates and fixes. We've changed some of the agent's connection handling with the car as dash starts, logs start/stop, leave/re-enter the dashboard screen, run diagnostics making things much more zippy. Sporadic issue that would cause a blank log on v50-v51 of the agent at times has also been been resolved.

On the server we managed to also significantly speed up saving of map updates (e.g. map config save, saving changes in the table editor, getting OTS maps, sending map requests, etc). There was also a fix for the web/apps to the dashboard screen that at times on re-entry to the dashboard would show all the gauges stacked on top of each other.

Web and Android updates are out already, iOS v52 should hopefully be out on the app store some time today (awaiting apple review since last night).

****NOTE: Ensure you update your OBD Agent to v52 released late last night. If using the WiFi device get the latest SD card image and restore as we've updated the agent 'updater' on it and here's a link to it:

https://bootmod3.atlassian.net/wiki/...irmware+Update

Previous versions of the agent will NOT update over the air as the location where updater gets the agent updates from changed. If using a laptop agent we suggest just downloading and reinstalling the latest from www.bootmod3.net/downloads even if you possibly got v52 earlier yesterday ****

Hiya - quick question (I hope).

I flashed my car for the first time using the OTS Stage 1 tune. The flash went through smoothly, but my intent was also to turn off the cold start (I love my Soul exhaust, but my neighbors don't). I went back to the maps and the OTS Stage 1 tune, but this time clicked the "Config" button, turned off cold start, saved and flashed a second time.

The flash appeared to be successful, but the car is still going through its normal cold start. Did I miss something?

Thanks!

This is correct and should work fine

Check in config that it saved

[xsilvor]

Appreciate the quick response. I'll give it another go.

Sorry, follow up question. Should I be adjusting the RPMs, as well, or is simply switching the cold start option off sufficient?

Thanks

No that is just for custom rpm

Just cold start (cat heating) OFF and save but make sure you give it aminute to configure the new settings and then flash the map again

How do you save?

When I clock on config it shows me the options but after I select there's no where to click save

Please advise

You should see save at the bottom of the screen

I used my laptop and didn't see save until today lol

I had to scroll down with holding the left mouse button like it's a touch screen

No offense but I believe they should tell people they have to click save and it's t the bottom

Maybe they assume most people have half a brain

Unnecessary comment.

Mine worked on the second flash.

Hi chaps,

Had no responce from HCP. Im after a stage 2 but im advised to NOT get a tune that raises the rev limit. Is the OTS stage 2 within this or does it raise the rev limit

Thanks

[Pikey Motorsports]

It’s stock revlimit as far as I’m aware

But anything can be customised

BMS OTS Stage 1 Tune on an otherwise completely stock car should produce how much HP/TQ? Also what supporting mods need to be completed? I keep seeing lots of spark plug talk.

- Fixes for layout (single column for dash in portrait mode) on Android Samsung devices
- Datalog viewer zoom in/out fix
- Scrolling fix for dashboard on iOS and Android

- Visual indicator of agent status across the top in the dash when no connection to OBD/agent
- Fix for comments form on tune requests/maps going away as keyboard would come up. Now stays.

Hi,

Looking at the bootmod3 OTS maps. Just looking for guidance as im after a HCP stage 2 mild burble... is the hcp tune listed as “protuningfreaks”? Also im guessing the map dated 2019-01-24 is the latest one (BETA) that i should be going for?
