I bought the Evolve tune ! What to expect ?

631twentyeighteye · 11-07-2013, 07:32 PM

A quick google/look into a bentley manual yields quick results, not really a big deal IMHO. The remote dyno tuning however is a valid plus, though i doubt i'd ever utilize it. If my AA passes emissions testing; which i will try, then i won't move to evolve. The sole reason I like evolve besides; the few extra ponies they squeeze out, is the emissions testing passing and thats yet to be proven stateside.

Did you hook the car up to a battery tender/charger while uploading? I would try flashing again and email evolve at the same time.

Nah, unfortunately it comes at a cost. Each adjustment requires a whole new tune.

Alf_flash · 11-07-2013, 09:33 PM

i have tried to re flash and the car still not starting.

The fuel pump starts sounding like crazy !

YES i did hook up the battery to a charger.

I already emailed evolve but it takes DAYSSSSSSSS for them to answer. I need the car tomorrow to go to work !

How do i return my old software, which is the file i need to install ?

631twentyeighteye · 11-07-2013, 09:38 PM

What file did you email to evolve? If it's a .mod then try reinstalling that. I know AA sent me my modified file as well as my stock file in case i had any problems, i'm unsure of if evolve sent you both. Does it sound like it's firing when its cranking or what?

Oh boy, not the fuel pump!.. I doubt that's it so consider me stumped. I really hope someone here can help you get situated.

My fingers are crossed.

Also, you probably saved your stock file on your hard drive. Check your emails too.

Alf_flash · 11-07-2013, 09:47 PM

Just exactly what i needed... I got an automatic response saying evolve is out of the office until nov 11 !

The saved file i sent to them was a .org

I haven't done any, but they do do that.

Their emissions software is completely proven stateside, they have been tuning BMWs here for it for years now.

When you start up the EvolveR software and make it to the last screen.

Choose "RECOVERY" and choose the original .org file.

That will revert your car to that original file calibration..

I will wait for a new evolve file.

I was so afraid, i jinx it !!!!

Alf_flash · 11-08-2013, 12:49 AM

The only thing, that is really really bothering me is the "extra wear" i put to my fuel pump and to the ignition system, in my brand new car, the car is only 400 miles.

Listening to the ignition going and going trying to fire up the car is really going to give me nightmares tonight.

pj.rodriguez · 11-08-2013, 07:54 AM

Hope you got to work okay today! lol

Sales@Evolve · 11-08-2013, 12:35 PM

Dealing with the problem.

Got all your emails thanks and nice to talk to you on the phone.

Sending two files now, may be a checksum routine error for the version of SW you are running.

Thank you Salman, actually i was very pleased with your attention ! Talking with you has really left me calm... I was really afraid of ruining the hole thing.

Now the car is running perfectly, i have no problem waiting for the new file. So please take your time

Once again Salman thank you very much for your superb attention.

631twentyeighteye · 11-08-2013, 08:25 PM

Glad to hear you got it working again. Also good to see evolve responding quickly to help!

TheSt|G · 11-08-2013, 10:05 PM

That was pretty quick on the scene action.

jksgoh · 11-23-2013, 08:21 PM

any progress?

MarkkyyMan · 11-25-2013, 02:57 PM

Is Evolve able to turn off the TPMS light & monitoring system?
