Engine performance

Solution	What it does	BMW vehicles
Stage 1	Software-only remap for a car with standard hardware.	1167
Stage 2 BASE	Remap matched to hardware upgrades. Which parts are needed differs per engine.	943
Stage 3 BASE	Remap for a larger or hybrid turbo with supporting hardware.	219
E85 or other special fuels modification	The calibration is set up for one special fuel, for example E85. This is not a flex-fuel setup.	589
Flex fuel mod for E85 or other fuel types	The engine adapts to the fuel that is in the tank, from petrol to E85 and any blend in between. This is not a fixed E85 calibration.	376
MultiMap Switch	Switch between several calibrations, for example race, sport, normal, eco, stock, valet and anti-theft.	15
Launch control	Holds engine speed at a set limit while stationary so boost builds before pulling away.	309
Sport button power	The tune is active only when the car's existing Sport button is pressed; otherwise the car runs the standard map.	22
Torque limiter off	Torque limits in the ECU or gearbox are raised so higher torque is allowed.	86
Torque monitoring off	Torque monitoring is relaxed so a higher torque does not trigger limp mode.	875

Gearbox

Solution	What it does	BMW vehicles
Gearbox TCU tuning	Faster shift times, modified shift points, raised torque limiters, raised rpm limits and higher clutch pressure where needed.	718

Sound and driving

Solution	What it does	BMW vehicles
Pops and bangs	Fuel still injected on overrun ignites in the exhaust and gives the crackle sound. Intensity can be set: soft (burbles), normal, hard or flames.	682
Hardcut limiter	Ignition is cut at the limiter instead of fuel being reduced early, so full power is available to the redline.	300
Hardcut Popcorn limiter for diesel	Hard-cut rev limiter for diesel engines with the typical popcorn sound.	388
Exhaust flap control/off	Exhaust valves can be opened or closed independent of the driving mode. For cars with valves in the original exhaust.	655
Cold start off - Catalyst heating off	The catalyst-heating phase after a cold start (raised idle, retarded ignition) is removed.	597
Start/Stop System Off	Start-stop is switched off by default.	922
VMAX speedlimit on/off higher/lower	The electronic speed limiter is removed, raised or lowered.	1083
Kickdown off	The automatic downshift at full throttle in manual mode is switched off.	114
Sport displays calibration	The power and torque displays are recalibrated to the tuned values.	856
Idle RPM Mod	The idle speed is raised or lowered; the rev limit can be changed as well.	164

Deactivations and fixes

Solution	What it does	BMW vehicles
DTC off	Selected fault codes are switched off so they are no longer stored or shown.	1136
Catalyst off	Catalyst monitoring by the lambda (O2) sensor is switched off so a sport catalyst or decat does not raise fault codes.	1096
DPF/OPF/GPF off	The particulate filter function (diesel DPF, petrol OPF/GPF) is switched off in software. The filter has to be removed physically first.	752
EGR off	The exhaust gas recirculation valve is switched off in software.	441
AdBlue off	The SCR / AdBlue system is switched off in software.	412
NOX off	NOx sensor monitoring is switched off in software.	21
Swirl flaps off	Intake flap operation is switched off for engines where the flaps have been removed.	425
EVAP off	Monitoring of the fuel vapour (EVAP) system is switched off.	657
MAF off	The engine runs without the air mass meter signal.	72
TVA off	The throttle valve actuator is switched off in software.	409
SAI off	The secondary air injection system is switched off in software.	303
AGS off	The active grille shutters are switched off in software.	837
Readiness ok	Readiness monitors are set so the car reports ready at an emission inspection.	937
Hot start fix	Corrects hard starting with a hot engine.	420
Boost sensor calibration	Calibration for an uprated boost pressure sensor.	166
CVN correction	The calibration verification number is corrected so it matches the modified software.	461
Checksum Correction	The checksums of the file are recalculated so the control unit accepts the modified software.	731
Smoke test fix	The calibration is adjusted for the diesel smoke (opacity) test.	221
EGT sensor off	The first exhaust gas temperature sensor is switched off in software, where the vehicle has one.	24
Temperature control - Coolant & Thermostat	The coolant temperature target is changed, for example to let the engine run cooler.	21

Immobiliser and cloning

Solution	What it does	BMW vehicles
IMMO_OFF	The immobiliser check is removed from the ECU, so the engine starts without the immobiliser.	1070
Virginize (ECU/TCU)	The unit is reset to an unpaired state so it can be coded to another car. A different service from IMMO_OFF.	84
Cloning (ECU/TCU)	The complete content of one unit is copied to another unit of the same type.	851

Results vary per vehicle, and what is possible can differ per software version. This applies to every modification we deliver, for the ECU and for the TCU. Upload your original file to check what is available for your vehicle.
