I have the activation code, but when I was trying to activate my vehicle, it said it couldn’t identify vehicle software, which I’m assuming is because they stopped supporting my AH3 software? Once I get in I can run some logs on the stock map but the thing is getting in.

So is there really no one near the Canada area that can make the trip up there so we can get a decent tune for the AH3. I've been running the stage 1 tune for a while now and it just isn't as smooth as it should be. I reverted back to the stock tune and forgot how good the car drove before the tune. I'm kinda mad at PTF because why did they decide to put a tune out there for the AH3 if it isn't even finished. I spent all this money on a sub par tune.

[chriscruz7411]

So I was able to activate my car and flashed the stage 2 91 octane map onto my car, and I gotta say, it feels like the car woke up! It's super responsive now and it pulls hard. Here are some logs I did in case anyone was wondering

PTF told me logs actually look really good. Haven't had any problems so far and I've been pretty active on replying and sending them back what they need, so heres to hoping we get support from PTF again!

Yours is EWG right?
Makes me want to give a go to the 93/stage 2 tune

2013 PWG

I wish mine was EWG....guess being PWG is a blessing (most BM3 AH3 are PWG) and a curse (Its PWG).

If I had choice I’d go for EWG over BM3 compatibility.

[chriscruz7411]

Mine is PWG, as most are. But so far so good with everything. Just waiting on some feedback from PTF now to see if there’s any revisions to be made.

So i finally was able to acquire the stage 2 93 map for AH3... will keep you posted when i get a chance to flash... hopefully early next week as I'm currently traveling and have no access to battery charger or stable internet.

BM3 or an EU Tuner?

I already have a custom tune made but i'm not 100% happy with it
- throttle closures around 2000rpm
- no burbles

Other than that it's fine delivering 600Nm / 390hp - no drivetrain malfunctions or anything- but it could be better i think.

So i'll give a try to the bm3 OTS map and see if Halim is willing to resolve any kinks with me.

[chriscruz7411]

The stage 2 BM3 map (91 at least) works fine for me, no kinks at all. Burbles are amazing! Puts a smile on my face every time I hear them. Halim is definitely willing to work on things with you.

Hi there

So I got around to flashing the N55-EWGZ-AH3 Stage 2 / 93 oct tune this morning, did some driving around without any issue did a bit more driving this afternoon;

Tune seems solid as it is, I didn't experience any issue, power seems to have increased compared to my previous tune; i've seen the traction control light a couple of times.
Max boost was 18.5psi which is fairly high in my view.

The iDrive shows i'm maxing out the 720Nm max but I don't believe that's correctly calculated.

And I didn't get burbles at all, probably not active on that map.

Did you adjust the burble slider? Also the burbles don't happen for me until I've been driving for a while.

[chriscruz7411]

Yea you have to adjust burbles and then flash again. What I like is it only burbles in sport/sport+ and when I’m in eco pro/comfort no burbles at all which is perfect for driving around my neighborhood

It seems AH3 issues for both PWG/EWG are sorted at this point. One of the cars didn't tell us they had the Racechip piggyback running while trying OTS and we ended up chasing our tail for weeks with it which prompted the previous response in this thread indicating the difficulties

There may be a minor burble thing here and there to work out if at all but overall its looking pretty solid for AH3 now

[IK6SPEED]

Okay...who’s gonna fess up to that?

There's only like 5 of us, we can find out by elimination. I'll be first, NOT IT!

What about your fuel issues?

Sweet, does this mean we'll see another OTS update?

Not sure, I haven't had the opportunity to do a clean 3rd gear pull yet, harder to do that you'd imagine around here :-/

[coolguy1o1]

I got my first cel today but I don't believe that it is bm3 related. Error code p1aa5 came up and seems like a lot of other AH3 get this code too so I'll have to take it to the dealership.
