Did remote ECU tuning for the first time. Process was:

  1. Bought a CMD Flash slave tool (rented actually)
  2. Read my ECU file in the car (took 20 minutes)
  3. Sent the file to the tuner via email
  4. Got the modified file back in 2 hours
  5. Flashed it back to the car

Total time: about 3 hours including waiting. No need to visit a workshop. The future of tuning is remote imo.

Results: F30 320d went from 190hp to 240hp. Very happy.

    Remote tuning is definitely the future. No need to drive hours to a tuner. Just read, send, flash. Simple and effective.

    what tool did you rent for reading the ECU? and how much was the rental?
