Hi All,
Just a little question, during the installation of my procede 3 chip, the car went into error mode. THe cause was that I wired some of the connectors wrongly. After fixing this the car drove perfect again.
Now when i have the aggresive mapping turned on (by the remote) the car goes now and then into reduced power mode.
After restarting the engine, the error goes away. Some research on forums indicated that this could be caused by an turbo issue, where the procede requests just a bit more psi the the turbo gives. Making the engine getting confused.

I was wondering as I have to bring my car for service to the dealer, if they are able to see these errors have occurred and what I should say to them if they start asking questions.

Ofcourse before I bring the car in, I will remove the procede and open air filters.
I have a creader, would it reset the error codes, also from the cars history?


Many thanks for your advice.

I hope you know what software your running because if you have software 29.2 or MSD81 then you have better be running the doomsday maps, if you weren't then going to the dealer they will know you ran a tune!

[imaznumkay]

hope you dont have msd81

[nebz]

how do you find out if u have it or not? i have a 08 build on oct 07. is there a way i can check?

[GeorgiaTech335coupe]

u dont have v81 and shouldnt have 29.2 if you havent gone in for service previously.

You can check by taking out the ECU and looking at the label...Its either MSD80 or MSD81 which is the newer one!

[Joeyballs]

he should be fine as far as the ecu is concerned.


not sure of the software though.

[rismo]

Thanks guys!

Yeah i'm pretty sure that i'm before the 81 and the 29.2 software. (My display is still brown, not silver) and I did not get an software update after the delivery.
My concers are about the alarm lights I have now and then. (THis is caused by a fake turbo power lose signal, caused by the procede mapping, see somewhere else on this forum)
I'm pretty sure that they can see these errors in the car history.. (Is this a correct assumption)

And what will they do with that? Thats my main question actually? Anybody?

Thanks!

They can see indeed the history of your errors. Even if deleted from dealer, BMW can still get access to them through their online system.

Are you shure about that?
My tech told me othervise. Except since 29.2 and above?

The C-Reader will not clear the codes completely. They will remain in there until read by the dealer. Do you know anyone who has access to any of the dealer tools?

Barring that, there should be software available in the near future which can reset all of the codes completely.

So I have to buy a blond wig (with all respect to the blondes out there ;-)) and act foolish...

"No clue, suddenly it happend, and it went away again"

hmm, but seriously, this might be reason for BMW munich (that's the location where they check the car diagnose results, not at the dealer) to perform additional research and then they might see that my car went over the 155mile limit....

tuning and warranty might not go that well together... (and that is from a BMW point of view quite reasonable)

keep you posted, car has to go for it's periodical service appointment on a short term....

[munters]

in v. 2.02 Shiv showed another speed than the max speed. Something like 130miles or so. If you research speed delimiter and e.n.335, there was a disussion about that.
I dont know, if this is still the case.

aw man..all this hassele is a serious turnoff...now i dont even want a chip lol
