Talking OBD Flash Tune From Active Autowerke **No ECU REMOVAL REQUIRED**



Can be done from home with the use of the Simon Cable.

You still have the option to send your ECU to Active direct if you do not wish to purchase the Simon Cable.

Active Autowerke offers unparalleled performance software. Through careful remapping of the factory BMW DME tables, various elements such as ignition timing, fuel delivery, and part throttles are reworked to create performance gains.
The Active Autowerke upgraded software is designed to operate with gasoline that has an average octane rating with full emissions to create a clean burning combustion with good AFR’s all within factory specifications.

Available Options:
  • Cold start delete
  • Stage 1 or Stage 2 maps for 91-93 octane
  • Off Road Only Downpipe Map
  • Burble Option
  • Tuner flag removal
  • OBD Flashing Option


This is an OBD flash tune, no need to remove the ECU

Attention Florida Customers: If you are local to Active Autowerke (9940 SW 168th Terrace, Miami, FL 33157), there is no need to purchase the Simon Cable. All you need to do is purchase the map from Extreme Power House and drive down to AA for a free install.

F30 328 Stock vs Active Autowerke stage 1 +24 whp / +68 wtq


F30 328 Stock vs AA Stage 2 (Tune + Wagner Downpipe) +38 whp / + 83 wtq

Do "available options" make the price vary?
Will choose the Simon option, what's the difficulty level of programing yourself as opposed to sending in the ECU.
Any DIY videos or customer videos with the tune?
Benefit / pros compared to other OTS Flash Tunes i.e. Bootmod3 and RK Tune etc?

Interested in knowing the following:

-Gains for N20, N26 and N55 to the wheels with dyno chart
-Does the process of flashing ECU/DME allows us the option to revert or save the current state of ECU/DME in case it needs to be flashed to stock?
-Any failsafes in case car overboosts?
-Is there a CAT Cel passive delete option included?
-Will the flash itself be tied to a specific VIN?
-Group buy?

Hi,
The other tunes you mentioned you will need to remove the ECU, send it to tuner and wait for them to send it back then install it again.

With Active Tuner, we send you the Simon cable. You connect it to your laptop and OBD, upload the map.

Thanks Mike, definitely interested in this option as I have been looking for several flash tunes within the past month hoping to pull the trigger sometime in February. Sub'd to this thread. Would like to see some numbers on the N26 as other has mentioned, and live footage of a car with the tune i.e. the install, the map switching, start ups, burbbles, some take off's or 1/4 mile runs.

This looks great and people are chopping at the bit for a flash tune like this but.... It needs to be advised and marketed properly! They should have waited a few more months before releasing to have a nice press package put together with Dyno gains, in car video, etc etc etc.

I see they have different maps

For example they have a off road downpipe map.

How would they cater for other mods like, running a catted high flow downpipe, or people with inter-coolers etc

When you place an order with us we will take the needed info (mods, fueling,etc..) and send you the correct map.

If you add more mods in the future, you can email us or Active direct, we offer 4 free custom maps.

interesting

so they have already created these maps with those specific mods

have they been trialed and tested? nice to see the gains on these different maps with a car with say a catted DP vs high flow vs one with a bigger inter-cooler etc

I know the combinations can be endless but i think cats and inter-coolers would be the volume mods right?

so
1) catless downpipe with inter cooler
2) catless down pipe
3) High flow cat
4) High flow cat with inter cooler

Keep in mind Active have been doing the bench flash for couple years now on the F chassis. So these maps are not new.
Whats new is the way they are uploaded. You used to have to remove the ECU, now you do not.

Downpipes + intercooler would be the best value mods
