How do launch control on a 6mt and valet mode work exactly?

1. Hold clutch down
2. Place vehicle in gear 1
3. Floor the pedal
4. Release clutch when ready

Valet mode is flashed in and must be flashed out of. It isn't on the fly.

Do the tune files get updated over time? I'm running 91 octane stage 2 tune that's a couple years old. Would it be worthwhile to get newer files?

Hi All,

Just wanted to give a shout out to Alex for the tune and his customer service. Purchased ECU / DCT / Coding package and the car has completely transformed.

A friend of mine who also has an untuned M3 was utterly gobsmacked at how much of a difference there was between our two cars.

Could not be any happier with the speed and quality of his service.

For anyone one that has the tune

Where is the dct tune or you meaning the dct gts one as the add one for $80?

Anyone have any new sound of the burps of the updated one or is it in testing trails still? I wouldn't mind it low burps long doesn't make a big single gun shot one. I'm assuming after reading the thread it only happens with the louder burp options ?

Thanks !!

I am curious as well.

m3lbourne · 12-07-2020, 02:40 PM

Also curious on the update and was about to text Alex about this. My file is a couple years old too.

Yes, I am constantly evolving/updating the tune.

Hi Alex,

How much for just the valet mode and launch control (6-spd)?

Email him, he's fairly quick to respond.

6spdvert · 12-22-2020, 08:31 PM

Are you guys communicating with him via text or email only? I'd hate to upload a file with no live support in case of something going wrong..

Im waiting for a response back from him from an email I sent Friday regarding some questions I had prior to picking my 1st tune/options..

I've been asking questions and stuff through text & I usually get a response within the hour.

Emails are answered in the order they are received. I understand everyone is anxious for a response but I will get to your email. It is also holiday times & response is delayed because of this. Happy holidays everyone.

Alex - Your inbox is full. I'm down for a group buy and will pay right away.

Hey guys, not sure if I am able to have a technical discussion here but I would like to get some help. I am located and California and I am due for a smog test soon. What is the process to switch from Stage 2 tune to stock? Tune instructions do not describe this process. Thanks

The "flash first" file that he sends is the 241e tune. That is the latest factory tune. If you have deleted cats, you will need to swap that back to factory as well.
