what kind of product is this?

is this a true re-flash that can be done by the end user rather than having to take your car into a vendor?

It is software but is not just a standard re-flash, we tune according to your mods.

You will have to either send us your DME for tuning or go to one of our vendors with the ability to provide in-house support for our software.

did you manage to go around the torque limit in the ECU and boost more than 14.5 psi?

[vasillalov]

Interesting... More flash options are becoming available!

I wonder where this is going...

[vasillalov]

So are you guys discontinuing your Active Processor piggy back unit?

Might want to change that word/sentance.....

[FLA 335]

How about dyno comparisons? Real data, independent testing review? Price, what ure flash offers that Giac or others don't? Reliability ? Your are well behind the curve in terms of bringing a flash to market, so why now? why AA?

These are questions your potential consumers are think...

Just my .02

[vasillalov]

Not to mention that it costs more than GIAC S1 and only $100 cheaper than S2...

Not hating, just saying..

[cuban335i]

Jean you guys should be working on an upgraded turbo kit for the n54! not software for the stock n54...

That is correct.

It will still be offered as some enthusiasts still prefer the hardware.

I hope a $100 will not keep anyone from considering our software. Keep in mind forum members receive special pricing.

We also have no levels/stages as this can get expensive, we will tune for your mods. Upgrade prices are very reasonable and if you upgrade hardware within the first 3 months, just pay shipping to and from and we will update your software accordingly.

Jean,

I will be in the market in the next few months. I have purchased several AA Products in the past due to the close proximity to my home as I live in Miami.

As someone who is looking to mod (other than the close proximity advantage), what advantages does your product have over the competing software companies-JB3, Procede, GIAC, etc?

I am considering getting several mods in the future:exhaust, intake, tune, FMIC, etc.

Thanks

Here is a dyno chart from our dyno on a 335 that is stock (other than software)

Active Autowerke is well known for forced-induction and over the years our software has been somewhat forgotten. Going back to the E36 M3 turbo days our software has always been of the highest caliber providing performance and reliability.

All our products are created with reliability first and performance second.

Sadly we are late to market with our software for the N54; however, it carries the same quality and prestige of any part that carries the Active Autowerke name.

A dyno from an otherwise stock car is above and as mentioned in the OP we tune for your mods. In your case you are local and we have everything you need with the advantage of local support.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

What you have to remember though, is the flash is a different style of tunings vs the piggy back systems (AP2, JB3, Proceede, ect). Because the factory DME is in full control of the car and not having a piggy manipulate it to do what it wants, the way it performs is going to be much different. The guys at AA have really refined the late model BMW flash tune method.

As far as differences, its hard to compare the two styles because they have different pro's and con's.

Piggy-

Cons: It has to be wired into the factory DME connectors, this make the tuning visible and professional installation is recommended. This also means if you want your car to not be detected by the dealer and void your warranty you have to install/un-install upon every trip, which can be a PITA.

Pros: Most piggy-backs offer map switch-ability. From map 1 (most conservative) to map 10 (most aggressive, and requiring race fuel and supporting modifications) Ability to adjust the tune to exactly to what your objective is.


Flash tune-

Cons: Cannot switch maps on the fly, cant adjust the tune to exactly what you maybe doing, however since the ECU is in full control whats done to the car plus adding race fuel will help improve how the car runs on its own.

Pros: No hardware to detect by the dealer, can be flashed by AA or any AA Authorized flash dealer, If your software is over-written by the dealer, you can have your software re-flashed (some charges may apply).

Now I haven't gotten a chance to flash a 335 and drive a car for myself to tell you exactly what gains, or drive-ability improvement to expect, however I have spoken to Karl and Berry who head the software development over at AA and they have really emphasized the smoothness of the flash tune vs the piggybacks.

If you have any other questions I'm sure Jean can help you out, if there is anything i can do for you please feel free to PM/email me!

So with a flash tune, it is completely undetectable by the dealer?

Also, there is no way to run a pump gas/race gas tune through a flash I assume?

What does a car with AA Tune, Exhaust, DP's, FMIC-make as far as power?

[pikemike420]

My AA intake and exhaust I had on my E46 3 series was top quality.

[Dr_Dirt]

Will this flash tune be able to display boost like the procede?

GIAC has been doing this for some time now.
With all due respect, The question still remains... What does the AA flash do that GIAC does not? GIAC can get updated to S2 with minimal costs out of pocket for S1 owners. GIAC also provides a 100 octane S1 map as well for folks who don't have all the mods but want to be able to get more than S1 power at times from their rides.

^ +1 please elaborate on this subject!
