So I need some help here. I've had Thor for about a month and had basically nothing but problems with it. WIFI drops connections or the flash fails just as it gets to 100%. I've tried 2 different newer or new Android devices. I've only been able to flash CS or Series settings on either dynamic or dct. M2C or GTS fails and bricks my car every time.
I dont trust the WIFI dongle at this point and really want to try a wired connection. Im using a new Android device, the same one that Evolve Automotive used in their Youtube video so I know its not that. Im also using the Bimmer Geeks Pro cable that Thor suggests. But I still cant get it to connect to car. Thor support sent me these instructions: Android users need to configure the Ethernet port, after connecting the Adapter to their devices. Please open the settings panel on your device. Depending on your Android version, the procedure may be a bit different. This procedure is only necessary on first connect and for wired connections. Your phone will store those settings for subsequent connects. Eventually you need to re-plug the adapter, after saving the settings totake effect. 1. After connecting cable, press OK 2. Open „Connections“ 3. Open „More Conn. Settings“ 4. Open „Ethernet“ 5. Open „Configure“ 6. Ethernet settings Necessary Ethernet settings (Topic 6) are: Static IP: 169.254.250.250 Subnet: 255.255.0.0 DNS: 0.0.0.0 Default Gateway: 0.0.0.0 Please enter and save them! *I dont know where these settings are on either Android device Ive tried* Can anyone who had done a wired connection with Android help out? The screenshots below are what happens when I try to connect. When I tap on USB settings this is the only setting screen I get and I cant toggle that setting, everything is grayed out. Any help would be much appreciated. |

Yes, you can flash THOR to adjust your transmission and steering settings without affecting your engine tune.

And you need a USB-C (or micro B depends on your Android device) to RJ45 adapter like this: Once this adapter is connected to your Android device, you should be able to find the Ethernet settings. |

Thank You for the advice, really appreciate it! I got an ENET cable off Amazon and it does seem like I am on the right track now as I am able to get to the settings but still cant connect.... I dont have a setting for SUBNET...mine has NETMASK as you can see in pic. I tried putting the SUBNET setting in that field, everything else matched up, but after I saved and tried to hit CONNECT TO ETHERNET, it didnt. Checked in the THOR app and also no connection.

I'm a bit disappointed really. I was really excited about it and bought the Wireless OBD-II unit, but then read about all of the issues people have been having and ended up not purchasing the flash. It still sounds like a great improvement when it does work, and I may get it eventually, but as of now my excitement for it is waning a bit.

But actually if you guys figured out how to connect to our M2s to mobile phones via ENET cables, that will be a more convenient way and also cost saving. Considering this combo can be used with Bimmercode, BM3 and THOR (or even MHD, I am not sure). Especially when coding with Bimmercode, it is waaaaaaaaaaaay faster than using a BT dongle.

I’m now getting drivetrain warnings when pushing hard in 4th gear. Since I’ve had a CEL (48002C) since I flashed the Clubsport GTS map for the DCT I’m assuming this is causing it.
THOR_Flasher I sent you a PM and I t would be great if you could support your product and reply with a solution or plan to resolve the issue since this is now a known issue! Last edited by SpeedFried; 08-24-2020 at 07:53 PM.. |

I've used Thor for some time and I'm not satisfied with the solution and the difference between stock and Thor in my mind is too little. A lot of threads I've read say it's like night and day but I think a lot is placebo and not a big difference at all.

I believe xhp is releasing their DCT tuning in a few weeks. I've read good things about the tunes they've done on the zf8 gearbox. Could be an option if people aren't satisfied with the Thor gearbox tuning.
