Xede with a real-time on/off switch!

MichaelATL · 12-24-2006, 06:59 AM

Hey Shiv,

You know what would make your Xede even more compelling than it already is? A real-time on/off switch. Think the new M5's power-up mode :-)

Further you could have an intermediate mode.

So either:
1. Regular ECU/Xede Switch somewhere.
2. Regular ECU/Moderate Xede/Max Xede knob

But really though, just the on/off switch would add so much value to your product. I want to get some interest in the forums for such tech.

Regards,
Michael

Its already done, he just hasnt implimented the interior switch yet.

michael, its already been thought of... Shiv is so busy though, tough to make the time for it. I believe the thought is to put the 'switch' in the ashtray? Fellow Atlantan here - who did you get the 335 through?

sdiver68 · 12-24-2006, 09:28 AM

The day shiv goes to production with the final version, with switch and video, is the day he gets my cc #

MichaelATL · 12-24-2006, 09:57 AM

awesome. i wasnt trying to imply no one had thought of it. I just think it's a really important feature b/c if ur just commuting or what not... no need to be boosted (and put additional wear on your car) but u can just flip a button when u want some mega power

gotta love it.

Which dealer did you go through? What was your final deal on the car?

wahoo · 12-24-2006, 10:48 AM

bronco, his pics show nalley temp tags.

JoeA · 12-24-2006, 11:14 AM

Went through Nalley. They gave me a great deal. I traded in my 1yr old 330 E90 for the 335. I have the sales guy's name and contact info. He will definitely work with you. Plus I get a big Buckhead life gift-card (they run chops and tons of other awesome ATL restaurants) if I successfully refer people

Just PM me for info. Good to see fellow ATL BMW enthusiasts!

teknochild · 12-24-2006, 01:32 PM

just out of curiosity, would the car have to be off when changing maps? seems like it would

jmonier · 12-24-2006, 02:04 PM

No, per Shiv it wouldn't.

radgator1 · 12-25-2006, 11:21 AM

I thought the switch was just to switch between 2 stored maps. I think what Michael is saying is 3, that would be off=stock, on 1=91 Oct, On 2= 100 Oct for instance. Simply by adding off as one of the switch choices offers the equivelent of 3 map choices. Not sure if Shiv planned on this or not but it sounds good to me

Jonn335 · 12-25-2006, 11:35 AM

I agree, this sounds like a great way to go, and on the face of it doesnt sound like it will be too difficult to do.

OpenFlash · 12-25-2006, 01:28 PM

Already working on something like that. But a bit cooler

How about a valet mode? I know most here would probably park the car themselves but it would be nice to cut boost and set the rev limiter to say 3k.
