dct question

bimmerfrk · 06-09-2014, 12:25 PM

I have a dct e90. Every time I turn the car off an on again the transmission always sets itself to s3. Is there anyway I can get the car to always start in s5. Its so annoying to have to click twice on center console to get it back to the setting I like. Oh yea is this a non-idrive m3.

Any input would be greatly appreciate.

Seems to be tied to the DCT software itself. For instance, stock DCT software defaults to S3 and the GTS software (available as an aftermarket download) defaults to D2, for whatever reason. It appears you would need custom code for the DCT istself-- maybe one of the coding guys could chime in here?

Cant it just be coded to always start in s6? If not what tune do I need to get and how much will it cost?
