Reading Ethanol Content with Visconti x58 universal Flex fuel Kit

[APK407]

Just got my ECU back with bm3 w/ CUSTOM ROM and have my Visconti x58 universal Flex fuel Kit installed. Anyone know how you read the ethanol content without the gauge? I couldn't find any threads on it.

hold down the minus toggle on the left side of the steering wheel. Before the click. (Click is for map switching) Then the RPM will sweep to ethanol %

Why buy a universal kit? When bm3 sells one for our platform

They all use the exact same sensor.

Because a month wait didn't sound appetizing and easier install.

The Bootmod 3 documentation tells you what to do:

To check ethanol content without the bootmod3 app or laptop connected to the vehicle, press and hold the Cruise Control UP/DOWN button in the 1st DOWN position. The Engine RPM (Tach) in the dash will show current ethanol content. Example: 1000rpm, 10% ethanol, 5500rpm 55% ethanol.

I must've installed it wrong. Car starts up after install no problem, I had 3 bars of 93 put in 2 gallons of E 85 and Rpm still just goes to 0

Can you post a screenshot of the BMW app displaying what tune is running on the car?

Make sure the zeitronix unit is configured to the right CAN address. Viscounti might change the CAN address for his ecutek tunes.
