We are happy to announce that after months of improving OBD flashing capability of our in-house tool, mFlasher, we are ready to publicly release this option for all of our customers. We had ability to flash the MG1 computers over OBD since later 2017, but initial flash took a long time, upwards of 1 hour, making it a non-viable solution for "Do It At Home" customers. Now, after countless hours of development, burnt computers and a lot of coffee, we can perform initial unlock on ALL MG1 computers within 5 minutes. After the initial unlock, all subsequent flashes take only 1 minute.
Another reason we had to delay the tool release was due to the fact that California smog systems were getting early 2018 updates that resulted in any modified computer to fail smog. That was a major setback, so we had to go back to drawing board and postpone the release until a solution could be found. Now, with our latest mFlasher release, this is no longer an issue.
We will have dyno graphs posted very soon for all of you, but expect B58 to receive very similar treatment as did the N55 family. Full burnout mode, burble, safe levels of torque, sport gauge calibration, map sensor upgrades and so on. The modified file will be undetectable by BMW, thanks to our mBoot option and its ability to freeze the Flash Counter in time.
For all of you Apple users out there. We realize that mFlasher has been a hard tool for you to use since it requires an actual windows laptop. This for sure has caused some un-needed hustle trying to get one just to flash your car. This is why we are in finishing stages of releasing our iOS app for iPhone. During initial release, this app will allow flashing your vehicles right from your iPhone. With the following updates, you will be able to datalog, diagnose and perform many more cool functions right from your phone.
