AA Simon3 Flash Tune Questions

valetudo81 · 02-16-2018, 01:47 PM

Hello Everyone!

I need help. Mike from X-PH sent out an email about tuners for the BMW more specifically the Simon 3.

I have a BMW 328i F30 N20. I am in the market for a new tuner and was leaning towards Bootmod3. I saw this email and though it is more it eliminates the need for me to have to pull my ECU. Since my car is a daily driver it is nice for me to not have to have my car down waiting on shipping and all of the ECU to PTF.

I have heard zero about this set up from Active Autowerks and their Simon 3. Has anyone used their tunes or currently using them? What are the Pros and Cons of their set up?

Not sure about the AA tune in terms of P/C, but BM3 does now support OBDII flashing.

I messaged them this week and they said that for the F30 N20 I still needed to send in my ECU to unlock the DME. I wish I didn't because they are much cheaper.

When did you email them? If it was within the past week, email again and reference this: http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1463381

This is the reply I received on February 14th from Pro Tuning Freaks:

Apologies for the delay. OBD unlock isn't ready yet for prime time. Its in closed beta testing and we're hoping to release its support to a wider audience as soon as its ready. Please follow us on our instagram and facebook feeds (page and bootmod3 enthusiasts group) as well as forums for latest updates on release and vehicle support as we roll it out in stages.

Closed beta process is one vehicle at a time and very time consuming and unfortunately the demand has far outweighed the number of cars required at this time.
