What did you do to your Supra today?

[Evolution]

Finally did a software update. Now I can install my seat and send the ECU out to Femto. Still have to recode everything which I am not looking forward to since its a combo of XHP, Protool and Bimmer code....

What all did you code in? I've got a number of things from Bimmercode, but curious what XHP and Protool offers otherwise that I'm not aware of...

XHP is the trans tune. 100% worth it for us auto guys. Nothing you can use with a manual.

Protool is mostly for when you start getting rid of factory parts so that the car doesnt throw any codes. Basically this is a more in depth version of Bimmercode. For example, if you put in a bucket seat, you can code it so that it doesnt throw an airbag code.

Shifts quicker in manual or automatic and the shift points last longer. When not rowing through the gears, in automatic normal/ comfort mode, the car doesn’t bog down (shift so quickly) to higher gears at low speeds. It’s fantastic!

Side note: anyone else notice odd spacing & question marks on your older post and/or sentences chopped off - after the SupraMKV cloud strike (gate) when many of us couldn’t logon for about a week? I‘m finally getting through all the notifications (only 23 to go - for another day) and seeing a lot of my responses around that time not making sense at the end. At least more than my usual not making sense

I’m guessing it was when I couldn’t log back in during the middle of a post/response?!?

I love xHP. You can also get it custom tuned. After JB4 fuel pressure upgrade, it shifts like a shotgun blast in sport mode. Wakes you the hell up.

Can you report back any noticeable changes the updates have made to your driving experience please?

Ya I can. Probably wont drive the car until late next week, so you are going to have to wait a bit. Also to note, this isnt the most up to date operating system. There are 3 more ahead of it. This one was released Nov 2024. There was another one Janurary, March and the most recent one in May.

Cool. Appreciate it. And just as an aside, why did you choose to not update to the latest version?

I am hoping that this operating system is the one right before the start stop feature became impossible to turn off / code out.

Its not. My car was built January 2024 and came with the update that means you cant code out the auto start/stop (unless you use xHP)

Ah. I see. While my start/stop is coded out, I hardly ever have my car in comfort mode as I have coded it to start in Sport mode - which I believe you can still do even after the start/stop firmware change.

Yes you can still code "start in sport" with the update that disables the ability to code out another start/stop.

You run XHP so why care?

 

[Evolution]

I thought it even over road XHP…. Guess not. I’ll do that then. At least I have full screen car play now.

Installed purple DRLs yesterday. Love the aesthetic of them since my build was/is white and purple.

While I was giving her a wash, an NPC came up to me and told me I had a really nice 86. 🫠
