Gauging Interest in First to Market Features

BPMSport · 07-15-2021, 01:40 PM

Have been mulling over a few things that have been in development and wanted to gauge interest before finalizing the offering.

So far, we have managed to do the following:
1) Valet key - Have one of your keys dedicated to Valet use. Power will be limited and there will be no way to change modes
2) Sport Plus Mode and Servotronic Adjustable steering for non I-Drive and non M-Drive cars
3) Shift lights for Manual Cars
4) Coolant Temperature cluster display
5) Engaging Neutral for DCT cars when both shift paddles are pulled simultaneously
6) Starting Mode Change for Traction control and DCT shift aggressiveness (such as starting car with MDM defaulting to on, Shift level 4 - any combination) / or M-Drive Defaults on
7) Switch software/maps with your phone. 100 Octane Map/E85 etc..

Phone/app control of these functions planned. As well as being able to control windows, mirrors, etc.

This is just the starting point. Ultimately the plan is also to implement remote services/telematics as well.

If you have interest in these items, please let us know so we can gauge interest. Also, if there is something else you'd like to see happen, please let us know, and if it makes sense, we'll add it to our list to see what we can do. Thanks!!

Very cool Mike!

iPhone swapped octane maps and 6MT shift lights would be something I'd buy.

BimmerNugget · 07-15-2021, 03:07 PM

Interested!! Especially # 1,5,7

cae93 · 07-15-2021, 03:51 PM

Can it swap back to OEM map from the phone and look like it's not running modified ECU software? would be a valuable feature in the future in CA it seems....

Gossypiboma · 07-15-2021, 03:59 PM

I would be interested in 1, 3, 4, and 7.

Having modified 93/E85 tunes to work appropriately with the forward facing X pipes such as the BW pipe would be awesome too.

ShaunT123 · 07-15-2021, 04:06 PM

Interested in #4 and #5. Both paddles for neutral would be very cool if it is as seamless as it is in the PDK.

tbuck · 07-15-2021, 04:26 PM

4, 5, 6 and 7 all sound good to me, Mike! Curious how you would implement the coolant temp in the cluster, like oil level is now sort of thing? Changing maps from the phone would be a game changer!

rwheels · 07-15-2021, 04:31 PM

Would starting a car, remotely, be feasible? During hot days, this would be awesome.

I say this is a bad idea when a lot of owners park their 6MT in first gear.

Seen it too many times where the car jumps forward into a building or into a wall in SF.

Agreed. Especially on the both paddles for neutral!

Scrippy · 07-15-2021, 05:37 PM

Cool features Mike! Interested.

Redd · 07-15-2021, 07:02 PM

Definitely in for 4, 5, 6 and 7! Please please make this happen!

Sorry, I meant for DCTs.

tdott · 07-15-2021, 08:50 PM

Map switching would be huge. Ability to have logs good enough for a tuner to gain enough info from would be great as the current solutions seem lacking.

MPACT · 07-15-2021, 11:54 PM

#5 has my vote.

Idfkman · 07-16-2021, 12:59 AM

Take my money if 4-7 become available. The ease of an app would be great.

Question re: #5 when neutral is engaged while the car is moving, is this the equivalent of holding the shift knob to the (left) neutral position while moving? Meaning when you release the paddles the car will go back into gear? Or will it remain in neutral forcing you to stop before being able to out the car back in gear?

Evo13 · 07-16-2021, 01:15 AM

They all sound good, especially #7. Hope to hear see updates/progress for the future with this.

amrazM · 07-16-2021, 07:25 AM
