XHP Reviews and Feedback!

[_Sp1ral0ut]

Would you guys say an xHP tune is worth for just daily driving and no track use? I have a non-tuned Supra/stock trans. Just downpipe and an intake.

Yes, it makes daily driving better.

I'd say 25-50% of people who use xhp would be fine with OTS, but I think it's more common to tweak a few settings.

If you drive in sport automatic a lot, you might have a stronger need to fine tune the settings like the torque reduction upshifts, throttle blips, and shift speeds. If you check this thread myself and others have posted their settings. I'm on my second supra and I'm "redoing" my settings from scratch, one thing i hate is that the car will sit at 45mph 3k rpms in sport auto a lot, so I make my sport shift points LESS sporty, because personally when I drive hard I do it in manual anyways.

I haven’t really seen the need to modify it, not yet at least. But i usually shift manually most of the time, so to modify the auto behavior isn’t so important for me.

Sport mode is definitely faster with XHP but it’s pretty aggressive and I rarely use it since shifting manually is just way more fun.

I think you should start with stage 2 and go from there. There’s settings that you can copy from other users if you wanna finetune it.

Appreciate the replies! Yea I think I'll grab it sometime soon, I really want this to be my last mod for a bit as I've spending way to much on the car lmao. I'll look around and hopefully there are settings from somebody I could just copy if I'm not happy with the Stage 2 OTS. Hoping to find a middle ground, since I'll prob be using auto/paddle shifters equally as I just got some magnetic paddle shifters that are really satisfying to use!

Again, appreciate ya guys input/help!

I've dumped my settings somewhere on this thread before, or if you don't mind me being ranty, I can do another dump of my current changes for the new car, but I'm still dialing in a couple values.

XHP is great, they might also have deals for the license at times, it's not a required mod, when I go back to stock flash or when I bought my replacement supra, it's not that stock trans flash is bad, it's that XHP is just better.

Personally for me, xHP is a lot like when I first upgraded from a 60hz display to a 144hz display for gaming; the difference from old to new was noticeable but not that crazy, but the difference going from new back to old feels much more noticeable and jarring.

Worth every penny. I’m lazy and i just did map 2 with starting on 2nd gear. Super happy with just that. No issues or complaints so never looked into tweaking it more. With 1st gear it was so rough especially driving in traffic and parking lots.

I still haven’t tweaked the settings yet. That would probably make the biggest difference in town, on comfort mode. Regardless, she doesn’t bog down so low anymore and my gas mileage change is negligible. Probably saves as much as the dreaded start stop function. All these things are overkill for getting every last drop of gas to improve the mpg. At least where I live.

As far as for track, the stage 3 (map 3 or whatever it’s called) is perfect for me. I’ve set it and forget it. No looking back or regrets. Thank you X(H)Proplayer for all the feedback!

Couple questions -

-Does bm3/mhd have the ability to do the same stuff xhp can?

-Do I need the xhp dongle or will bm3/mhd dongle be able to communicate?

Some. You can raise/turn off the transmission torque limit in BM3. You can indirectly change shifting behavior as well. XHP has direct access to the TCU, which is always better.

BM3/MHD dongles should work just fine.

I recently switched mine back to stage 2 (with the help of a local track buddy @Ruman). I was getting some slippage in town with stage 3. Not a big deal but it bothered me & I wanted to know if this would alleviate it. It did! Now I can go back in and play with the shift points and or turn off 1st gear and fun stuff like that. It’s not hard to do at all (at least watching him ?). I really think I got the process down now though. Turn off the home wifi & carplay on my phone & then connect to the WiFi of the dongle. Or something like that ?. Regardless, couldn’t be happier with this little sucker. And thanks for everyone’s help on here as well ?

I've noticed their dongle has been sold out for a while: https://www.xautomotive.com/products/xhp-wifi-adapter
And on Aliexpress I no longer see Bimmercode wifi OBD2 adapters which used to be available for approx 40USD a few months ago, just BT3.0/4.0 ones which I was told are too slow for data transfer required for ZF8HP driver programming. There are available only "xHP" wifi adapters for almost 80USD, picture attached. Which wifi adapter do you guys recommend right now, which is available to be purchased in Europe?

Hey Fellas

If there is anyone out there looking for feedback on XHP for the Supra, GET IT!!! I am a 2020 Supra with stage 2 E40 MHD with the basic supporting bolt ons, and stage 2 V1.1 XHP. Man let me say it’s amazing setup I wish I would have gotten XHP earlier. Nonetheless, comfort is more drivable and the jerk you feel from 3rd gear down to 2nd gear sometimes is gone none of that anymore! I highly recommend XHP Stage 2. Sport is amazing.
