Got a Stage 2 tune? Willing to spend $5 and help me out?

I highly recommend BMWlogger that can be found here:

It's the only decent logger out there for our trucks and it's only 99 dollars with the cable. However the boost is not correct on it for our ECU. I've written him and he said that he's looking at it.

Are you running a tune that ups the boost and what's your gauge reading?

I've got a BMW laptop that has INPA, Rheingold, etc with multiple heads for different cars (OBDII to USB is used on the E70) but I've no clue how to use it. I did notice when flashing my tune that the ECU showed up weird in the menus.

Running the Active Autowerks tune. It shows 20 psi.

You mentioned iPhone or AWRON...so which is this from? AFAIK iPhone doesn't have a Torque app, I've tried my OBDII dongle on an iPhone (I don't recall the app they used) and it didn't read, then AWRON feeds from the OBDII port so that makes me wonder if it's an app settings issue and not a factory boost sensor issue.

Bump

This is off subject a little but Are you getting more boost? Even 1.5 to 2.25 lbs you should be able to feel and hear.

m5james · 03-03-2016, 09:05 PM

Stock is 17.4psi, which is what I show regardless of if I'm running my stock tune or stage 2 tune. Seems the only difference I can see via the gauges is my AFR changes to a little more lean at WOT when on the stage 2 tune. It is a night and day difference between the two tunes, so I can only imagine how it'll be when I run more than stock PSI. That's why I'm hoping someone else would buy the dongle, run the software on an Android device and verify if they're seeing what I'm seeing to eliminate if it's an app settings issue, sensor on the car issue or tuning issue.

Off the AWRON. Nothing else has shows the correct boost. iPhone apps, Bavarian Tech cable, BMWlogger.

albsure1 · 03-04-2016, 06:10 PM

The app I used on my droid maxx didn't show boost and or incorrect psi on both my x5m and 535. The blue dongle you used, I bought three of them last year one for each car and now all in the junk pile.

What were the other three devices showing? Depending on the "gauge" I'll show either like 12psi max or one always pegs out at 17.4psi.

What was the app? Funny, the only reason I've gotten rid of any of mine was to give them to friends when I checked their cars and they wanted one after seeing what it could do. They're so cheap I just bought more...got two more last week.

I just leave them in each car and never remove them unless there's soon random reason like checking a friend's car. Last summer I saw an older couple in a classic 50's looking Ford that was broken down at the gas station. Come to find out it was a kit car with a Saleen engine. Old guy was awesome...kicked a CEL doing over 130, but then died and wouldn't start. Ends up the car still had an OBDII port, read and cleared his misfire codes right there, car fired right up.

If I remember right 535 would move up and down like 3psi, and I was map 2 on jb4 witch is 14.5psi. Nice thing about jb4 on n54/535 is the fuel gauge is my boost gauge and it is dead on. On the x5m I think it was max out all the time and would move, but Ill check tomorrow, my friend got some new dongles and said they are better then the blue ones. I used Piston app on android

BMS told me the JB4 doesn't work on the E__ X_M chassis...are you saying you got it working or are you talking about readings via an app? If you ever get around to trying it again, try Torque instead...I'm just trying to make sure all things are equal when people tell me their results.

albsure1 · 03-04-2016, 06:41 PM

"Jb4 on my 535" Was just saying I didn't get a correct reading on it either(535) even though the jb4 was reading boost correctly. X5m is stock and I'll load the torque app and go get the dongle in the morning and check it.

OP, I have OBDLINK LX (best rating obd2 dongle) and its free app OBDLINK , + also have used/use Torque Pro and Dash Command. I have the android version of the dongle but it also comes in both iphone/format or single format (WiFi or Bluetooth).

Mine reads everything accurately! I've gone stock, stage1, stage2, and piggyback tuned and I get the actual boost psi reading correctly. So it may be your dongle ?

OBDfusion (which is identical to OBDlink at least for iPhones) maxes out at 3 psi. Someone else on here posted the same thing.

Bavarian tech doesn't even support real time data for the S63 and is junk for us.

BMWLOGGER just stays maxed out at 22.4 psi. Interestingly it shows the PID commanded boost value but inverse of what the command is starting at the same 22.4 psi, which I think is the limit of our MAP sensors. So 20 psi commanded shows as -2.4 psi.

Do you have an E70 or E71(X5M/X6M)? Unfortunately we use a unique ECU and what works on other BMW's doesn't apply to them across the board.

Your profile shows a X3.

Bump, someone out there must be running a stage 2 tune, an Android user with $5 spare and curious to seeing their numbers as well.
