- don't buy without attention to source and date/time stamps on the unit (part number/UPC/model are NOT sufficient due to massive Dinan logistics screw up) - when/if you receive the actually right ordered unit, it's easy and it appears to work :-)

Thank you teefive, literally could not have done it without you! Now for the PSA ... Dinan has some shit broken units out there in the supply chain; it's unbelievable that Dinan has allowed this, but believe it. If anyone wants to buy one of these, call your supplier and make sure of two things BEFORE allowing them to ship to you: a) the package and unit manufacture dates are both 2019 or later (not 2017) and b) the unit label has a proper Bluetooth MAC address (not all 00:00:00:00:00:00). See pics below. The 2017 and 00:00 MAC are NON-FUNCTIONAL and there appear to be plenty of these on the shelves (the large distributor for my shop has now pulled all of these off their shelves as a result of my ordeal). The 2019 and non-00:00 MAC are fully functional — that's what you want. Note that they all have identical package and unit part numbers and even UPC — crazy!

I've been thinking about Dinantronics. Had it on the F15 X5 and the M235. Didn't see the tune for the G05. I'll go back and have another look.

Read this thread. After Dinan finally delivered a non-broken unit, DINANtronics Sport is easy to install, inexpensive, and is working great. I now drive default SportPlus and RaceMode. Fuel consumption up a bit, but not serious.

I got it here: https://www.parkautomotorsports.ca/products/d440-0047. This is a real-life tuning shop near me with online delivery. Great guys, stuck it out with me to solve the Dinan bad units problem. Mention my real name (which you know) and they will definitely remember me and make sure a bad/old Dinan unit doesn't slip through.

I ordered from the same place as Lex mentioned, highly recommend. I'm waiting for it to arrive.

I just installed me tonight and took the beast out for a spin. A definite improvement! I can feel the extra pull right away, it "kicks" in right around 1500-2000rpm. I know that I will have to drive it more to allow the ecu to adapt and smooth out any jerkiness. This is based on my previous dinantronics. Very happy so far! I'll report back after driving it a bit more.

I'm keeping it in Sport+ mode as Octane 93 is recommended and i'm only putting in 91.
After driving 100km or so, the ecu has adapted and it is definitely smoother. Comparing it to the dinantronics i had in my X3 F25, it is definitely smoother on the G05, albeit it was more noticeable on the F25. I find that I only really feel the added pull if i push the car a bit during acceleration.
