    Weird that this video just showed up cause i just impulse bought it yesterday from an ad while doing some stuff with bimmercode haha. Appreciate the steady stream of info thanks again man. Was surprised to see all the capabilities of bimmerlink like resetting service etc Amazing tool worth every cent especially if you already have an obd enet... buy this!

    Hey kern, thanks for your videos they help us B58 guys a lot. Having a serious issue with my M240i atm and I'm wondering if you have any knowledge of it. It cut out completely whilst i was driving yesterday and wouldnt start back up. As i was pulling over i got a few random errors, like the bonnet being open and abs failure iirc. I now have no ignition and can't even jump start the car so I'm wondering if this is a ecu/dme issue? It's almost like my battery has become disconnected, but the weird thing is my rear lights stayed on and so did my rear plate lights. Can't access the boot to check the battery now as it's locked without any power to unlock it? Thanks for any help man
    Edit - car is also mapped stage 2 with MHD and cant scan for codes via the obd without power

    Hi kern, got à problem today with my m140i
    Just flash it with mhd stg 2+ in multimap with dorsh zeitronic ethanol kit
    In full boost, approx 520hp the car close the throttle at 3500rpm due to the torque limiter. I saw that on the log.
    Send a msg to mhd and they told me that my clutch was sliding
    Problème is that i just change it, less than 2000kms and its a luk 550i.
    Do u have or had any issue with the clutch?
    I have oem turbo so i dont understand...

    • @kern417
      @kern417  ปีที่แล้ว

      Throttle closing is a tune issue. If boost or load goes over target the the throttle will close. I have no issues with my 550i clutch

    Do you know why MHD and Bimmerlink show different errors? I have a permanent error in Bimmerlink (DSC) but not in MHD after using the MHD Bench unlocker. Nothing seems amiss and drives fine.

    • @kern417
      @kern417  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      bimmerlink is more thorough. it can scan the entire car and all the modules. i think mhd also ignores some errors that may come from tuning/coding but aren't really an issue.

    then bought my X4M40i whos only apple car so bought an iphone ...
    but I need to buy a bimmerlink for iphone ???? no way , did they change there policies or not
    also the ODB of the car have a sensor with alarm when rogue ODB dongles are connected , so I cannot keep it on the car
    but to disable the ODB alarm , you need bimmer code ! so you need bimmer code to be able to use bimmer link ???? WTF
