The logging display is fairly useless in the MHD logging module. They really need to fix this and make it better HUD interface.
Edit: I found a gauge layout button in the app, but i haven't tried it yet. I want to see the gauges will rotate to landscape.

I plan on flashing the stage2+ once i talk to MHD about this tamper code problem.

If only it wasn't -10 degrees here in new england

MHD replied to the tamper code. It is only disabled in Stage 1 and above maps. They said it will be added to the next app update and will be disabled in Stage0 as well.

Sorry for the stupid question, but if the phone is in airplane mode how is it connected to the vehicle? For some reason I was thinking that it was a bluetooth connection.

Phone is connected through usb adapter that connects to the K+DCAN cable which is connected to the car. Its a wired connection not bluetooth

Ah, okay. I thought that USB cable was connected to a charger. I guess the charger referenced in the dialog is a car battery charger?

Yes, they recommend a battery tender hooked up to the car while flashing.

So you will need;
- Andoid device
-bimmergeeks otg cable or similar
-battery tender
-mhd software
-the tune that you want to load

Do you know if there will be a trace of that tamper code that gets stored somewhere? If so, can it be deleted?

It updated to .93 the other day, but don't see the anything about tamper codes in their log.

Just installed the initial Flash.
Took 26 minutes using the Bimmergeeks cable.
Really frustrated that so far I have not been able to purchase a set of maps from the Google Play store.
The Flasher Module purchase went through with no problem but every time I try to purchase a maps pack I get: Error - Your transaction cannot be completed. with no other information.
Soooooo Frustrating!

OK, if anyone else has this issue, it's a Google Play Store issue and not the MHD App.
I simply added another payment method and when I selected the new method the transaction went right through.

I just flashed Stage 2. It took 3 minutes.
No issues.
I just took a short drive in Comfort & Sport mode. I could immediately feel the difference in Comfort, & in Sport; the car is a ROCKET! Powerful & smooth acceleration.
The car also makes more noises, in a good way. Whistles and burbles.
I am about to take it out on a longer drive and play with it.
I intend to play with it for a few days & then flash to 2+ to see if I notice another difference.

Make sure you grab the logging module, and take a couple logs per MHD instructions. And look at them that the car is responding appropriately for your mods. IE, not cutting constantly taking away ignition timing and power. Check Boost and Boost Target, they should be pretty close to overlapping. If you see major increases or decreases, note that. You should be taking logs and sending them to MHD anyways.

3rd gear for manuals - WOT 2500 rpm to 6500, then into 4th gear for 3 seconds and off throttle

4rd gear for auto 8spd - WOT 2500 rpm to 6500, then into 5th gear for 3 seconds and off throttle

Do this three times and send the logs to MHD at f-beta@mhdtuning.com

You should also upload them to https://www.datazap.me and post it here!!!

https://datazap.me/u/lesogorp/2015-b...-tuning-stage2

I need to re-do my logs on stage2+, it's very hard to start at 2500rpm on the highway in 4th gear. Might have to sneak out at night when there is open road. It's like 50 to 110 mph!

The unlock is through OBDII, there is no pulling of your DME, removing it, sending it out, to be cut open, and potentially damaged or re-sealed improperly from the elements

26 minutes for the initial unlock and stage0 flash is all it takes. Future map installs are 3-4 minutes. The change was pretty dramatic on stage 2+ !

Just wanted to add my experience regarding this. For me, even though I had made purchases before on an established Google account, it still limited me to a single large purchase per day. So, I purchased the flasher, logger, and maps separately on consecutive days.

How many logs have you sent to them so far?

All done via OBDII cable connected to your phone. I'm sure dynos and logs will come in due time, but this is currently in closed beta testing so I don't think those will be posted publicly just yet.

Yeah, was planning on it and would love to do it today if I can ever successfully buy the Monitor/Logging module from the Google Play Store.

I'm assuming the dramatic change was from fbo and jb4? What setup we're you running before hand?

xdrive, auto 8spd, sport cat, jb4, m perf can, wagner evo2 performance IC, ER chargepipe, k&n dropin, 93 octane. camber plates

The car is very very alive in comfort mode in low rpms, and even more so in sport/sport+ with the rpm's higher. The JB4 brought the car alive more so under specific conditions, WOT. No so much in the low/mid band. Boost is allowed under load conditions, then the waste-gate can start close to spin up and make boost. The MHD flash tune has opened my eyes to the world of flash tuning I'm going to be working with Terry on getting him some logs so I can help create a BEF for MHD + JB4 together. I think this will be a good combination in the future for those still looking for additive fueling like PI or Methanol.
