There is no multistage map.
Stage 1 Vs Stage 2 is based on the required hardware. For stage 2 you need an aftermarket downpipe. So there would be no need for steering wheel Stage changing, unless you're ripping off your downpipe frequently, lol
Pick you stage, flash the multimap, and cycle...
I strongly suggest a laptop and wired cable. I'm sure the WiFi stuff works great but i'll never take that risk again. A phone is a phone, and I don't trust it when it comes to flashing.
I really, really miss my Type R. I wish I could have kept both. Had to trade it in for the Supra. My humble dream garage, (reality dream garage), would be the FK8 and A90.
P.S. Don't mind the HRV. ;)
You can also send the logs to BM3 support or MHD. I've harassed Halim many times at PTF. They can always make suggestions to you to run a lower octane map or make small tweaks, if you don't know what you're looking for.
Graph smoothing could be applied. It will just display less data and remove all the jitters.
I'm not knocking on OTS maps. I'm just saying. Custom tune will run a few revisions, back and forth, you'll see the data, adjust accordingly, log, readjust, relog. Some of us have gone to great lengths...
How is that more power achieved? More boost? More timing? It doesn't mean it's better. Hard to determine how that extra power is pulled out without a log next to that dyno graph.
@zrk is right.
Getting a custom tune isn't always about getting "mooar" power out of the car. It's about drivability, reliability, and getting a tune that works for your car Vs getting the car to work for the tune. All the applications have at least 1 free OTS map so you can start there and...
What's the lowest psi you can run on a drag radial without the car kicking into some sort of safe mode?
I've seen some videos that 25 is the lowest when you still have tpms sensors?
If anyone is interested at checking out this 3rd to 4th WOT run with the test map. Tc/VSC off, manual and sport mode.

I've also logged the weird throttle twitching or surging that happens with the 2.5 version map. You can se the accel pedal is...
Just giving an update. This code is still showing up as an inactive shadow code. Is this just a common code that pops up with bmws that are tuned? Or something to do with bm3 modifying the torque requests?
