Your problem is identical to the one I had. You can even look up my old thread in here.

The long and the short of it is, after 2 tow ins to the dealership, they identified Dinan stage 1 tuner as the issue. It’s been hypothesized in the community that it’s the wiring harness that causes the fault, I don’t believe this as cost-wise it wouldn’t make sense for Dinan to come out with an entirely different piggyback module and build just to solve a wiring issue.

After multiple emails with them, Dinan offered to replace my v1 with a v2. They failed to mention that the app doesn’t work with v2 and at the time also didn’t mention that the v2 tune was quite neutered compared to v1.

They also stuck me with the bill for the labor on the replacement after my Dinan certified Bmw dealership specifically told me that they won’t do work on credit for Dinan anymore because they don’t pay their bills.

In the end I had to chase them for something like 2 months for reimbursement on the labor, and they still shorted me on sales tax and some other part of the bill because they didn’t feel it was something they should pay for.

Buy yourself a reputable flash tune and ditch the Dinan piggyback. It’s a dinosaur compared to what’s out on the market now.
