x5d xHP Map update May 2023

Just wanted to post a PSA that xHP has updated their maps for the x5d with torque converter lockup capabilities.

I was trying to figure out how often the xHP maps were updated since I've never really been too happy with my Sutphin tune and it costs $50 to get an updated off the shelf map. It turns out xHP just released a major update for the 6hp. Their updates seem very very infrequent, but the latest update addresses my biggest gripe which is warmup behavior so I will be making the switch. Hopefully no more sounding like I'm towing a loaded trailer while the warming up in temps below 40 degrees (have to go uphill out of the neighborhood, in flat areas its not that bad).

Major changes copied below from their facebook page, but I'm sure there there were a lot of small adjustments as well:
-Optimized Warmup behavior. Lock-up clutch will start to operate within seconds after startup.
-Optimized Lock-up clutch regulation. Firmer and earlier lock-up in general.
-Implemented Lock-Up clutch floating for better boost build-up from low RPM
-Shift-Speed and paddle reaction improvement in Manual and S-Mode
