In any case, I think all will be well. Dinan tunes are somewhat conservative, but I suppose anything could happen. I'm personally not losing any sleep over it.
Thanks you!

I was actually looking at that CP, but I don't think they make one for xDrive vehicles

Oh well, I'm gonna enjoy every moment of it! Lol next Tuesday I'm actually getting a tune from well know local tune shop. They will be doing before and after dyno so I should be able to post my dyno result with MPPK+Dinan Sport Tune

Does that bottom "Reset" button change any settings on the module or just leave it in the last programmed state?

I had to toggle the top button to have the boost gauge display anything, and I'm a but confused as to what the arrow button does; sets to gauge to zero? Max boost reported the same regardless.

One the top boost gauge is activated the first thing you will want to do is push the blue button in the bottom right corner of the gauge (looks like a download arrow-- why that icon was chosen is beyond me). This resets the gauge back to zero and will allow the unit to give a more true boost number. There have been some wierd boost gauge things with some specific models like the M235i where it is reporting wrong info though... the 320i appears to be another model that it occurs with. Expect updates to the app that will resolve this (and hopefully change that app icon to something that makes more sense). Lots of good feedback on the app already with some changes and some other features that were coming down the pipeline anyway.

If it's truly a reset button, I'm confused as to why it will go from "Zero" to around 4-5 indicated between presses. A reset button should always reset to zero...

And I hate to ask but is there any update on the iOS version?

Between presses of what? The reset to zero button? If you are constantly pressing the button it will have issues as the translation from sensor to bluetooth to phone is a bit delayed so constant pressing the button will overload the data stream and wig the app out a bit. Another thing to note is you should be resetting to zero when the car is not running (engine off, ignition on) as when it is idling there is some residual pressure within the pipe it is taking the data from. They are also working on implementing a hard reset button into the app which essentially will take all the guesswork out of the app where you have to do certain things in order as it is now. The app is listed as BETA for a reason...Still have some kinks to work out. =)

Have not heard any updates on the iOS app.

Ah makes sense, thank you. Theres were time I had it reset with the car off, and times when I tried resetting it with the car running.

Now I know.

Reading through this and I am confused as to what this is used for, I have an S1 tune..whats the difference? Can you clear codes with this?

Sorry for the ignorance.

A few questions:

1) when the unit is plugged in, is automatically set @ 4 psi?

2) any issues in driving it @ 4 psi constantly?

3) how would you know if the unit is defective and if it was, could it harm the engine?
