Thank you for saying this for me.
In the 335i world, tuners would give you a special deal if you came from their competitors tune... hint hint revo
Seriously? How often do you change maps? Sure, it takes up to a minute, but there is no equipment to loose or break either. You should probably know if you can get 93 octane and get it there all the time, or else get 91 octane, as opposed to switching back and forth. Not to mention every time you change maps, your ECU has to got through adaptation again.
It just seems odd that somebody would be switching often enough that it's become a massive inconvenience. :iono:
I don't change maps that often but when I found the need to. I always had trouble with my APR tune. First I had to relearn which buttons on the cruise stalk did what. I would then have to find paper work or think hard to remember if 1 flash meant stock map or if it was 91 octane map etc.... Beyond that its just plain stupid to use 1 light to determine which map your on, to tell you if the ecu is locked, to tell you if the map you selected was set... you get the point. So after all those flashes and counting them. I always doubted I was on the correct map.
Now how I would've made it, CEL means map1, left arrow is map2, right arrow map 3, both left & right arrow means map 4... Simple and to the point, never second guessing if things actually were saved.
Just like you can break a SPS or whatever GIAC calls their switcher, I'm sure you can break the cruise stalk as well.
I normally pump 91 but sometimes I got extra cash to spend so I mix 100octane with 91 and enable my 93octane map... Down the road I'll probably get a W/M kit and run the 100oct map 24/7 but if I'm on the road and run out of meth, I'll just change the map to 91octane until I can fill the tank again.
So ya in my world, its better to have a easy quick way of changing maps without spending 30 minutes to figure how its done.
