♛ OFFICIAL ♛ OBDII Port Flashing Is NOW Available



The question was never "IF" full port flashing would become available,
but rather "WHEN" it would be a reality. Well, it's finally here and now the
questions will revolve around "HOW" it works, and '"WHAT" features it would
offer at the consumer level.


For those of you who have been following our "HEX Tuning - Master Thread"-----<-------- (Click to Jump)
you've been privy to the bulk of content regarding our various Stage Level
options, dyno plots, customer reviews, and customer service efforts to
support a very enthusiastic market.

With this new advancement in the ability to flash program the ECU directly
through the OBDII Port, all of those same features and benefits remain the
same, with the barrier of entry of removing the ECU no longer necessary.

F-series BMW owners can now purchase our HEX Flash User Device, download
the HEX Flash Program to your Windows based PC or tablet, and program the
ECU with any of our performance stage levels while retaining the ability to flash
the ECU back to stock at any point in time.



This new thread will serve as the source for Port Flashing information which
will include video tutorials, customer reviews, and any future updates to the
HEX Tuning Program that will benefit future uses.

This is an exciting time and we look forward to adding many new HEX Tuning
customers this holiday season and into the new year.


Stay Tuned!

Good to see more coming out with this news. I believe you guys are the third I read now. Pretty soon many more will rollout with this option which will allow people on the market for this be able to have many options.

This is great news, I watched a video on the tune of the M2 by you folks and the explanation of your approach to your tune versus the piggyback stuff makes total sense to me. I am very interested in this and I am looking forward to learning more about pricing and availability.

Just a reminder, the introductory pricing ends this Friday before the
Holiday weekend begins.



And for anyone who is still on the fence, remember that we are the
ONLY company who offers a 30-day Money Back Guarantee!
There's no better way to put our own money where our mouth is than
to guarantee complete and total customer satisfaction with a no questions
asked return policy.

Any money you "throw out the door" comes right back to you if you don't
feel it's a significant improvement from what you already have.


- Remove the JB4
- Install the HEX Tuning Software directly through the OBDII Port
- Enjoy the new software for 30-days


If it's not everything you hoped for by the end of the 30-days, you'll get your
money back and can then re-install the JB4.

Our gut feeling is that there will be one more piggy-back in the classifieds
by the new year!

When we can make time in our development schedule, yes.

We are currently wrapping up our VF8XX testing on the
Lamborghini Huracan Performante, then we have a few
more weeks on software for the Porsche 991.2 models,
and then we'll be back to a few cool BMW project we
can't talk about yet.

We will absolutely keep the forum up to date with the
progress and we are VERY excited about further BMW
F-series developments in 2018!

Last days to take advantage of the Holiday Special!
Use the Discount Code "bimmerpost" when checking out.



Also keep in mind that the 30-Day Money Back Guarantee
starts from the day you receive your Tuned/Performance files.

That means you can order now to take advantage of the sale and
the clock does not start ticking until you are actually enjoying the
software on your vehicle!

Yes it does!

Regal Autosport in Southampton is our distributor for the UK
and has done quite a few F-series cars. M2 / M3 / M4 / M5 / etc...
(you get the picture!)

They'll be happy to work with you, and they currently have our
HEX Flash User Cables in stock!

Sounds promising.

My car already has the GTS style startup and the overrun pops and bangs as standard.

Do US cars not have this feature from the factory?

Also, the fuel is different in the UK, I use 99 RON fuel, which is equivalent to US 94 octane.

Is this taken into consideration when flashing non US cars?
