Getting ready to flash my vehicle. Question, did you leave your door open while doing the flash? Thanks.

hopefully this helps anyone considering the app.

finally had a chance to install the MHD tuning flash today

installed stage 1 map. very happy with the results. car feels much stronger, especially in the higher rpm ranges. pulls much harder and is noticeably quicker.

total investment = $154.83 (returned the battery charger)

current specs:
  • 2009 135i N54
  • ~80,000 miles
  • completely stock, not even a walnut blasting yet

installation tools:

installation is very straight forward. made sure to use a battery charger as the entire process takes ~40 minutes and have read drops in voltages can cause errors.

no convenient electrical outlet at my apartment complex so had to run a long extension cable

battery charger


cables


OBD-II cable lights up


MHD app automatically opens


Back up stock ECU map


Purchased flasher module and stage 1 map (this includes stage 1 and stage 1+)


Selected Stage 1 map to do "full write" - switch phone to airplane mode


Flashing process - at first the car chimes and a few different symbols pop up on the dash but goes away


Flash write completed - process took 39 minutes
