That's correct. I have that fault code but the system seems to be just fine.

I find out more when I tried yesterday. This fault code only occurs when I flash Dynamic M2C. When I changes to Dynamic GTS the code disappeared. So it seams like it's only throw the code for me in M2C.

Hang on. Everything ever written in the last 4 years says that the GTS flash does not work on the M2 OG DCT.

I tried it from Bootmod and in fact it did not work.

So is this something custom that THOR did? Will it interfere with BM3 flash tunes?

Yes and it works very good

It really does. I did some more driving this weekend and the DCT is behaving so much better than OEM.

Altho, I still need to try that 5500rpm launch everyone’s talking about!

It was impossible to leave the DCT in auto mode on track because it was always in the wrong gear and did not shift at the right time but with the THOR GTS coding I was able to let do its thing and it was not as telepathic as in a GT3 but it wasn't too far off.

Very impressive

Does it interfere with other flash tunes? I have BM3 loaded. I also see that it will only work with their OBD adapter. That is for sure a no go.

I have BM3 and never flashed their GTS tune for the reasons you mentioned.

The THOR DCT flash took 5min once I got it to connect right with a lightning/ethernet adapter while reusing my OBD/ethernet adapter that I use for BM3 flashes.

You can find more info on this in THOR's thread.

The nomenclature is a bit strange. I really just want the DCT to behave better in S+. The OEM bone jarring shifts at WOT are horrible. They are also very slow.

So. What do I need from THOR. Surely not the entire $339 version.

Download the app and you’ll see pricing. I think it’s $200 for just the DCT. $300 if you want the dynamics coding too.

The crazy shifts in S+ are much smoother after the flash.

However, I would like to correct one thing. This is not a further development of the N55 Maps. It is an adaptation of the GTS map.

I'm very honored for this assumption. Unfortunately, we wouldn't have been able to do it so well yet. That a GTS Flash on a M2 and M4 still feels different is also due to the different engine/gearbox combination.

I will even compare both vehicles more intensively over the next few weeks. :-)

Thanks for the 8/10, maybe we can improve something for the full score. We will try to do our best.

About the Dynamic Package, my personal favourite combination is:

Steering: GTS
DSC/MDM: Competition
Differential: Competition

You are definitely faster with the Competition Flash, but also not as fast as with DSCoff on the track.

In my opinion, DSC regulates with the series setting harshly and also too early.

Subjectively, the M2 feels somewhat more agile after the Flash. I'm looking forward to your evaluation after a track day.

Thank you again for your detailed report, I'm pleased that you don't regret your purchase and we are always happy for suggestions and of course also for your feedback.

Thx

This just BRICKED MY CAR! PLEASE HELP!!!

I flashed the DCT no problem, worked first time. I then shut down car, went for a short drive and parked and repeated the same process to to the Dynamics Package.

I tried M2C 2 times and it failed or became disconnected everytime! My car would barely steer and I was stuck. I got it to drive and then tried CS and then back to Series. Series got to about 65% which was the farthest any of them got. It then failed again.

I now have a bricked car with lights all over the dash! WTF!!

Why does it keep losing connection of the Dynamics package? What do I need to do? Is there a wired way I can try instead of the WIFI to see if it keep the connection better?

Please Help THOR!

There is a wired method. You need an OBD E-Net Cable (Amazon), and an adapter that will convert from Ethernet (RJ45) to whatever interface your phone has - lightning if you have an iPhone, USB-C for *most* android devices.

so with this method I would not be able to use the original THOR flasher OBD. It would still work like this?

thanks

Help. Not sure why but when i try to flash DCT it says that my car does not have DCT transmission? I've already flashed the car with dynamics and that went smooth. But for some reason it keeps saying that my car doesn't have DCT transmission when i press the flash button for DCT tune.

Any ideas?
I had the same fault code for several weeks now after flashing the M2C dynamic. I just flashed the DCT GTS tonight and the code was gone at startup. However, I’m guessing the code will come back the next time I startup. I’ve cleared this code so many times and it constantly comes back on 2nd startup. Aside from the CEL the car runs fine. However, I’d like a solution because this shouldn’t occur and the CEL drives me crazy!

Is it a soft code or you will see CEL all the time?

I have the soft code, but no CEL. Not sure that the code impacts anything?

The DCT tuning is great. I used to hate Sport+, but now it’s a ton of fun around town!

I see Thor app has been updated for GTS DCT flash in both the App and Play Stores - anyone know what’s changed ?
