Got my RC RS installed finally. This one worked and linked up by Bluetooth. Holy holy it’s fast, especially in race mode. Put the car in sport mode, hit the gear shift to the left, and throw the RC in race mode, and it’s a rocket ship. Throttle response is crazy and the thing just takes off and roars. Terrified my passengers on a straightaway.
So far pleased with it. |

I'm still waiting to see what's available for the 40i. Last time I checked there wasn't an option for the straight six on the X7.

Only hitch so far — everything seems to be working but the little orange check engine light on my dash is on. Previously I was able to connect an OBDII reader and seemingly delete the codes and reset the check engine light. For some reason this one won’t let me delete or reset it. It’s P12A8, P12A9, and P112F ($07e8) and when I read the codes it says “Manufacturer control”.
I understand the check engine light can be normal and may even reset itself after a couple hundred miles? Is there a way I can delete it? Weird that it’s not letting me.... Thanks all. |

Ben is on the case, which is great!
He informs me these are the following codes: P12A8 says Boost Pressure to low P12A9 says Boost Pressure to high P112F says MAP Sensor pressure too high I am going to send him some pics to have a look at my install, maybe I've screwed something up... eek...

OtisX7, I know you have also said that it is taking you a long time to install or uninstall. I have found if you remove the black sections of the air intake it gives you some more room to get your hands down to the connections. See the two pics circled in red. I can now take it in and out in about 5-10 minutes or less. Last edited by G80POWER; 02-23-2020 at 10:41 AM.. Reason: Pics added |

Honestly despite the awesome help from Ben here — I agree I wish I could just drop my vehicle with him and have him take care of it, he’s so helpful — I’m going to try and return this and seek a refund. It’s just been too much headache with the 3 or 4 installs and removals and still not having it work properly, and all these check engine lights just increase my concern this is going to do something bad to my still relatively new $100k vehicle (which is already really fast and, to the point above, the tune isn’t going to make an enormous difference on this heavy vehicle). Just don’t have any confidence that the guys in Germany I’ve been dealing with are really doing a very good job with this product (I would have a high degree of confidence in Ben however!) On the bright side, I’ve uninstalled it once again and all the check engine lights have gone away. So at least it hasn’t caused any damage! Thanks again all. |

The company in Germany is initially rejecting my request for a refund, stating that I’m past the 30 day warranty period. Of course they aren’t accounting for the fact that they initially shipped me a defective unit from Germany that I had to install, troubleshoot, discuss with them, exchange for a working unit, and then reinstall this past weekend, only to find the new issue and contact them within a day of doing so. I’ll be pretty ticked if they refuse it after this ordeal. |

Thanks, I’ve done that. Haven’t heard back yet. Germany is refusing my refund so far because they say I am four days out of warranty. That’s some killer customer service, particularly when it began with them sending me a defective unit that didn’t work at all, and then the second unit they sent me threw a check engine light and a bunch of fairly terrifying trouble codes.

I have two RC GTS black installed on different vehicles. One extremely disappointing it that was unbeknownst to me is I can not toggle in between the two and whichever chip was the last installed is the only one my app will recognize! I contacted corporate and they did state that is being worked on and should be included in the next app update.

I have RaceChip in my wife's X2, but without App. So I never encountered that issue.
