MG Flasher - BMW Tuning App - User Experience Update ver. 225

16-9_Widescreen.jpg



Tuning your BMW should not have to be difficult; we focus on MG Flasher user experience at every opportunity. To help those with slower internet connections, we reduced the size of our OTS maps files by over 98%; downloading a map update is very fast now. We have also improved the synchronization of user/car info by removing the extra loading on each MY CAR page entry. Speed of purchase redemption is much faster too with the added benefit of a separate page called SYNC CAR where you can sync your licenses and OTS maps from all your devices (Android, iOS). Dealers will find the online shop now shows licenses linked to customer vehicles. Finally, the way we show available maps for each stage has been placed on the new AVAILABLE STAGE VERSIONS page. Current version and release date are indicated on screen when you are choosing between 91oct/95ron and 93oct/98ron maps. Furthermore, you can expand specific items to read what was changed in each release. Together with a few other technical improvements the overall speed has increased across the entire app.

MG Flasher Beta Program for Newest BMW MG1 Bosch Aurix ECUs

16-9_Widescreen.jpg


MG Flasher is at the final stages of adding support for the newest MG1 Bosch ECUs with MCU TC29x (Aurix) found in Gen 2 (newest generations) B48/DME84T0 and B58/DME86T0 and we are offering beta software for interested participants. After thousands of flashes on our development car G20 M340i, we are finally opening the doors to the latest MG Flasher software. Next we will be adding Rolling Launch Control (Anti-lag) on the B48 and B58 platforms, which will be part of our unique custom code features (Switchable Maps, Max Cooling and Burbles On-The-Fly).

Beta program participants will receive a discount for all licenses used on supported Aurix ECUs and free access to our logger. At the time being, we are not offering our unique On-The-Fly options for Aurix ECUs, but they will be released shortly after. Launch software will include options like removal of OPF, cold start, catalytic converter and speed limiter; adjustability for burbles and target engine cooling temperature will also be available. Not all OTS maps will be available immediately, initial testers will receive custom map files tailored directly for their vehicles based on logs acquired with our logger. Interested parties who would like to join the beta program should contact us at [email protected] or message any of our social media pages. We are only taking applicants with eligible software and using a first come first serve system. We are looking forward to your feedback.

Please note, recently updated ECUs may have the latest software security that require manual unlock on the bench via select Authorized Dealers and tuners with bench tools. Best way to check is to connect via our app and contact us with your VIN.

The following vehicles may be supported (depending on software revision):
G20/G21/G28 - 318i/320i/330i/M340i
G29 - Z4 sDrive20i/sDrive30i/M40i
G07 - X7
G06 - X6
G05 - X5
G02 - X4 (New ECU revision)
G01 - X3 (New ECU revision)
G11/G12 - 730i/730Li & 740i/740Li
G14/G15/G16 - 840i/840i
G30/G31/G38 - 520i/530i/540i
G32 - 630i/640i
J29 - Toyota Supra
F40 - M135i

We would like to thank everyone who helped make this possible, our dealers; Artur and Tony from @a2performance, David from @performancecentre, Tony from @cpa.power, Anton from @bmw_chiptuning, Dmitry from @berkut.bmw, who have all worked hard to test the flashing process and search for bugs. We highly recommend @a2performance for custom tunes. Also, the many alpha testers who allowed us to develop software directly on their vehicles. And finally, the dedicated team of engineers who took precious time away from their families to spend countless late nights developing the app and maps to make a buttery smooth user experience and some fast cars.

If this was not enough for some of you, another sneak peek of what our team is working on; ANTILAG! Yes, that is right, Rolling Launch Control will be coming to MG Flasher. It would not be a true custom feature from MG Flasher if it did not have user adjustable features, so hold onto your seats for details on that! Supra AK-47 tunes are incoming!

TCU 8HP Limiter Lifted for Beta Users on G20 M340i, Supra and more!
MG Flasher update v241

16-9_Widescreen_1.jpg


As you may recall from our last post, we announced the development of the TCU 8HP torque limiter removal on the G20 M340i and Supra and today it is being delivered for new generation B58/B48 Beta Users! Furthermore, there is no need to reflash the transmission control module! We provide a user interface that allows adjustability of the maximum torque value (up to 1000 Nm) giving the user full control over total engine output on both B48 and B58 vehicles. As an added bonus, if you choose to let your significant other or relative get their hands behind the wheel this will serve as a valet option where you can lower the total output to a value lesser than stock (minimum 250 Nm). After you update to the latest Custom Code v0.1 on your ECU (~4-minute flash), this change is then added to the calibration area of the ECU. Thereafter, it will be a quick flash of under 30-seconds (when using ENET)!

The internal torque limitation of the factory transmission software in the G20 M340i, Supra and other G series models is 550 Nm, anything past this torque value (which is normally seen on Stage 1 and up) will immediately trigger a TCU limiter that will activate a torque reduction module within your ECU to prevent you from making more power. There is no solution on the market to program the new generation 8HP51 transmission yet, so we decided to create own solution and provide our users with optimal engine tuning software. With only our engine ECU modification, we have been able to completely remove this limitation and can now offer software calibration on MG Flasher without the need for any transmission tuning (regarding main torque limitation). With this implementation there is no need to skew the torque/load calculation model maps within the ECU to keep the limiter from triggering therefore giving us an unaltered torque value that is true within the ECU and TCU. This allows for accurate calculations, smooth shifting and no software trickery. Obviously, there will always be benefits to tuning the transmission software however this solution can now provide people with newest 8HP the option for optimal engine tuning without the need to re-calibrate the transmission software.

Supported models:
G20/G21/G28 - 320i/330i/M340i
G29 - Z4 sDrive20i/sDrive30i/M40i
G07 - X7
G06 - X6
G05 - X5
G02 - X4 (New ECU revision)
G01 - X3 (New ECU revision)
G11/G12 - 730i/730Li & 740i/740Li
G14/G15/G16 - 840i/840i
G30/G31/G38 - 520i/530i/540i
G32 - 630i/640i
J29/A90 - Toyota Supra

We are constantly working on providing users with the most advanced technology in ECU development and are always striving to serve you better. We take your feedback and input seriously and will always do our best to go above and beyond for you all. Follow us if you want to stay up to date on the latest and greatest projects in the works. We look forward to the Beta feedback and wish you all a great rest of the week!

Sincerely,
The MG Flasher Team

MG Flasher Beta Program Support for Newest BMW MG1 Bosch Aurix ECUsGen 2 B48 & B58

16-9_Widescreen.jpg

16-9_Widescreen_TCU.jpg

Stage 1 330i G20_BHP.png

St2_B48_G20_Taiwan_WHP.png



MG Flasher is proud to announce official support for the Gen 2 B48 and B58 platform. These vehicles use the newest MG1 Bosch ECUs (DME84T0 & DME86T0) with MCU TC29x (AURIX). After many of flashes on our development car G20 M340i and over a hundred beta users, we are finally opening the doors to the latest MG Flasher software.

A Flashing License provides access to our unique adjustable TCU torque limiter available only on these ECUs for B48 and B58 models. With our Custom Code implementation there is no need to skew the torque/load calculation model maps within the ECU to keep the limiter from triggering therefore giving us an unaltered torque value that is true within the ECU and TCU. This allows for accurate calculations, smooth shifting and no software trickery. On-The-Fly options for Aurix ECUs are under development. Stage 1 and 2 OTS maps will include options like removal of OPF, cold start, catalytic converter and speed limiter; adjustability for burbles and target engine cooling temperature is also available.

Please note, ECUs with software updates from 11/2019 and later may have OBD flashing security that require removal of the ECU to unlock via select Authorized Dealers or Tuners with specialized bench tools. Interested Dealers should contact us for exclusive access to a customized version of Magic Motorsport’s FLEX tool. We have also enabled 3rd party unlock support on these ECUs to help transition to MG Flasher. Furthermore, updates from 7/2020 may fully lock the ECU; there are no tools available on the market to unlock ECUs with this new update. Best way to check your ECUs security level is to connect via our free app.

The following vehicles are supported:
G20/G21/G28 - 318i/320i/330i/M340i
G29 - Z4 sDrive20i/sDrive30i/M40i
G07 - X7
G06 - X6
G05 - X5
G02 - X4
G01 - X3
G11/G12 - 730i/730Li & 740i/740Li
G14/G15/G16 - 840i/840i
G30/G31/G38 - 520i/530i/540i
G32 - 630i/640i
A90 (J29) - Toyota Supra
F40 - M135i
If your vehicle is not listed here, please connect our free app and press “Check Support” to check if OTS maps are readily available for your specific ECU revision. We may be able to prepare them for you if not yet available.

We have prepared OTS maps for both B48 and B58 vehicles with excellent results. Our goal was to increase the performance and focus on creating safe and reliable calibrations that retain factory functions and safety features. From our many tests, our B58 OTS maps have modest gains; up to an additional 109 hp & 180 Nm (133 lb-ft) on stage 2 from stock! On 184 hp model B48 vehicles our stage 2 maps increase stock output by up to a whopping 156 hp & 201 Nm (148 lb-ft)! All attached dynos are measured in bhp except for the DynoJet B48 which is measured in whp.

B58 Gen 2
Stock: 382 hp & 500 Nm (369 lb-ft)
Stage 1: Up to 450 hp & 636 Nm (469 lb-ft)
Stage 2: Up to 495 hp & 680 Nm (502 lb-ft)

B48 Gen 2 184hp model
Stock: 184 hp & 270 Nm (199 lb-ft)
Stage 1: Up to 310 hp & 430 Nm (317 lb-ft)
Stage 2: Up to 340 hp & 470 Nm (347 lb-ft)

The new MG Cloud Log Viewer is available online and it is integrated with our professional logger built into the MG Flasher App. Tuner’s may customize which RAM addresses to log in order to get direct access to the ECU’s internal calculations. Users may upload logs directly to their cloud account after linking their API key with a new MG Cloud user account. We’re working on joining accounts together for ease of use. Have a look at the example logs Stage1 M340i G20 on our new MG Cloud Log Viewer: logs.mgflasher.com.

Now that we have official support for these vehicles, our next steps are to create custom code including switchable maps, burbles, max cooling, and antilag. The goal is to enable in app adjustable custom code ON THE FLY, where flashing will NOT be required to change settings!

We would like to thank everyone who helped make this possible. Thank you to our dealers who have all worked hard to test the flashing process and search for bugs. The many beta testers who allowed us to develop software directly on their vehicles and spend countless hours driving and logging. Finally, thank you to the huge fan base that has grown over the last few years, you motivate us to continue making MG Flasher better than ever!

We are looking forward to your feedback.

MG Flasher Cloud Log Viewer

16-9_Widescreen.jpg


Many MG Flasher users and 3rd party tuners have requested more logging parameters; we are here to deliver! In a recent update we added advanced monitoring of boost, relative filling and injection channels. For cars that support these parameters, users may now find PID controller variables (for fine tuning boost), relative filling limiters (including an index value to help locate the source of the limiter quickly), HPFP quantity valve delivery time and much more in our premium logger! We will be updating the User Manual to include an appendix with a full list of logging parameters soon. Authorized tuners can also specify which RAM address they would like to directly log. Interested users may request access for direct RAM logging as well. Please let us know what other logging parameters you would like to see in MG Flasher!

Once users have logged their car, they may use MG Flasher’s free new MG Cloud service to upload and view logs. Our cloud log viewer enables you to quickly toggle the display of different parameters, rescale the y-axis for individual parameters, zoom on points of interest and much more! Create a free account at logs.mgflasher.com to grab your API key, copy it into the MG Flasher app under “External Services”, and get started by uploading multiple logs directly from the app! Logs on our server are sorted by VIN for your convenience and secured for privacy measures. You can also share your logs with our staff for fast support.

In an upcoming update, burble aggression and duration maps will be reworked. The lower aggression settings will now be more tame and selectable duration range has been rescaled for a 0.1 second resolution between 0.0 and 4.0 seconds.

Technical Support over the holidays will be limited between December 24th, 2020 and January 3rd, 2021. We will be back at full weekday support on January 4th, 2021 with our regular hours: 9am – 4pm EST Monday to Friday. Stay safe!

Merry Christmas and Happy New year!

B48 F-series Switchable Maps On-The-Fly Update
MG Flasher update v277

Switchable Maps On-The-Fly are now available on F-series B48 through MG Flasher’s latest app update v277. Following the successful launch of our B58 switchable maps a few months ago, we immediately started testing on the B48 platform. This week we finally released the latest B48 OTS map update (v1.8) that contain 5 slots to choose from. Drivers can switch mapping between different power levels and different octane / ethanol blends without the need to reflash the vehicle! Through a simple combination of the Brake Pedal, Accelerator Pedal and the Driver Select Switch you can quickly choose which slot you want to use. Watch our instructional video on YouTube to see how it works and read our User Manual for details!
. Minimum OTS map version for B48 engines, v1.8 is required to enable our Switchable Map option. Tuners should contact us about accessing Switchable Maps when using the “Custom Flash Menu”.

Many of you requested support for additional octane levels of fuel, so we added 102 RON (95 OCT) and ACN 91 (for low quality 91 OCT / 95 RON) to the list of choices when picking a file to flash. The octane level you select before flashing is the default (slot #0) map that is active after flashing. Slots 1 - 4 will contain either a lower/higher octane level, E30 or E50. We also added additional power levels to which you can immediately switch, Stock (184 bhp or 252 bhp, depending on the car) and 252 bhp.

We have created infographics (one for Stage 1 and another for Stage 2) to help identify where you can find a given fuel type or power level. Columns are the selected file flashed to the car (identified by ACN 91, 95 RON, 98 RON and 102 RON) and rows are the slots you can cycle through On-The-Fly once the car is running. When the map is flashed, you can view the available slots (for the flashed file) on the MyCar page by tapping the ECU info area. You can also find this information in the OTS map release notes.

Checkout some of the results for our E30 map (with 100 RON) on a Stage 2 B48 320i by looking at the log on MG Cloud Log Viewer (link below). Torque and power at 490 Nm and 345 bhp, respectfully, with zero timing corrections and ignition reaching 18°kW. When on E50, our tester F30 xDrive got a 100-200 km/h Dragy time of 11.6s!

The MG Flasher team has work very hard to create a professional method for enabling On-The-Fly switching. These are not just limiters and constants that are switched, but entire calibration tables and maps as well. It is virtually the same as flashing a new calibration for one specific fuel type or power level, but with the ability to put multiple calibrations into one file. MG Flasher’s unique custom code is so advanced that it is switching over 20 different maps including:
- Lambda and fuel maps
- Ignition timing tables
- Load and torque limiters
- PID boost control and turbine compressor maps


Users with F-Series B58 cars have been enjoying our switchable map solution for a few months now and soon we will deliver another update for these new octane and ethanol maps. The MG Flasher platform opens the door to custom tuners who want an On-The Fly Switchable Map solution with precise adjustment when tuning for different fuel or upgraded hardware. Contact us to get started today!

Hi,

looks good. How about the countries having only 100 RON available? I have a 320i B48 running with Stage1 v1.6 and 98 RON. So now, if i switch to v1.8 and 98 RON i will probably be lower on power, right? As there is only the standard 250BHP Map to choose with 98 RON or the 102 RON Map. I am a bit confused. Please advise :)

Antilag (Rolling Launch) for Gen 1 B46, B48 & B58 is now available

16-9_Widescreen.jpg


The MG Flasher team is excited to announce the release of the long awaited advance Antilag feature. Antilag will be available for Gen 1 B46/B48 and B58 F-series (non-hybrid) models. With MG Flasher’s launch control feature, there will be two modes: Simple and Expert, to control both rolling and standing antilag independently. Adjustments in Simple Mode include minimum pedal position for activation, speed threshold to detect rolling, aggression, boost and RPM setpoint, with many more settings being available in the Expert Mode. This allows for an aggressive flame-spitting 2-step when parked, followed by a safer, smoother rolling-launch without having to reflash. For a full list of available option, see the App or User Manual. MG Flasher’s Antilag feature has undergone rigorous testing to make sure your vehicle runs as expected. A huge thanks to all beta testers who have greatly helped in development.

Note: iOS users may need to wait another day or so as Apple is still reviewing the update.

Antilag, as with Switchable Maps, Burbles and Max Cooling, can be activated through the cruise control buttons on your steering wheel. Hold FAR DOWN on the rocker to enter launch mode (if rolling, get a steady speed and lower gear between 3000-4000 RPM), press the throttle pedal and release the rocker when ready. You can also change the standing launch RPM by holding SHORT DOWN on the rocker, tapping up & down to adjust the RPM and pressing RES to accept the new value. Note: Max cooling activation has been changed to use SHORT UP on the rocker, this will make it more comfortable to hold the antilag button while focusing on the road. When Antilag is active, Max Cooling will also automatically turn until the antilag is released.

For more details, please see the full instructions here:
https://mgflasher.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/MGFLASHER/pages/614760467/Antilag+Launch+Control

Tuners will soon be able to find our custom map pack and detailed instructions here:
https://mgflasher.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/MGFLASHER/pages/616005649/Antilag+Tuners

This will retard timing a significant amount and build a lot of intake and exhaust pressure. We recommend infrequent use of antilag and to obey all local laws. By using this feature, you acknowledge and accept the risks, including, but not limited to:
• Additional stress on the car that may be damaging (engine, turbo, exhaust, etc.)
• Potential damage to your ear drum
• Starting fires
• Having too much fun

You can install antilag via the Custom Options page after a brief 4-minute update to the latest Custom Code v6.9. Note: Cat-less downpipe is required when using Antilag.

Merry Christmas!

MG Flasher update v317 brings support for all Bosch MG1 ECUs produced after July 2020, including the highly desired M3 and M4 (G8x models).

MG Flasher has teamed up with Femto to provide support for their special bench unlock. The MG Flasher App will detect Femto’s unlock and allow flashing via OBD with all MG Flasher custom options. Custom Code must be installed at Femto’s lab. Currently, Femto is adding our TCU torque limiter bypass code for Gen 2 ECUs with all other custom code to follow. It is critical to inform Femto that the ECU will be used with MG Flasher so that they include the latest Custom Code. All ECUs must be shipped to Femto’s laboratory (contact via Instagram: @femtoevo). Third party bench tools will not support ECUs produced after July 2020, if they become available, MG Flasher will include them in another update.

Thanks to Filip @hypertech_bmw_mini for providing beta tester and pictures

MG Flasher has released a Remote Starter patch for all Gen 2 vehicles!
App update v329


fw7zCNONuQeQlukfc7KbJGAtB=w1324-h745-no?authuser=0.jpg


In the past, having your gen 2 vehicle unlocked meant that the remote starter will no longer work. The dedicated team of developers at MG Flasher are now releasing the solution in the form of an OBD flashable update, Custom Code v0.3. This update will solve the issue for all MG Flasher users previously affected by the lack of Remote Starter support, after unlocking their ECU!

To take advantage of this patch, simply choose Custom Code v0.3 next time you flash your car. You will then be able to use Remote Start the same as before tuning your car! The latest app update will show you a popup whenever there is a Custom Code update.

As per popular request, there are also many new logging parameters added to the MG Flasher app including:
Battery voltage, Fuel: HPFP I and P-Components, Fuel: Rail pressure delta, MAP Sensor Voltage, Misfire Counter (per cylinder as well), Super-Knock Counter, MSV: Pre-control parameters, Oil pressure, Temperatures (Engine Coolant Sensor, Transmission oil and unit), Throttle request position, Timing Correction knock adaptation, Torque: Limiter 2, Valve Lift (Inlet), WG Position: Sensor (Raw), WG: Boost pressure target, and WG: I-Component.

If there are any other specific logging parameters you would like to see in the MG Flasher app, please comment on our posts or send us a message. For those who want to analyze their logs with a bit more details, you can find explanation of Torque and Load limiters here: Logging Parameters

This update also includes shadow code reading. Secondary code reading has been added to the standard DTC code reader, available on the Diagnostic’s page.

We thank all our testers who helped us verify this fix is fully operational. We hope you enjoy this update.

Regards,
The MG Flasher Team

With our most recent update to the MG Flasher App v340, we are announcing the ability to adjust the TCU Torque Limiter (effectively, bypassing it) on Generation 1 B48 and B58 engines. Using an adjustment slider, torque limits can be adjusted anywhere between 250 and 1000 Nm. MG Flasher’s Stage 1 OTS map on the B58 platform already surpasses the stock TCU limiter (550 Nm). Without bypassing or removing the limiter, the full potential from the tune is not achieved. This update will allow you to bypass the stock TCU limiter. If you already have aftermarket TCU software that removes or raises this limiter, such as xHP, then this update will work in tandem, without conflicts. To ensure everything works smoothly, in the MG Flasher App’s flashing options raise the limiter to a higher value than your xHP settings. Setting the limit to something lower than stock is helpful when lending your car to a driver who you don’t want to have access to all the power.

Please note that the feature will only work on cars that had Custom Code previously available. Unfortunately, this means that some Gen 1 G-series cars, along with select F-series hybrids, will not have this feature, but will be added soon. Stay tuned for new features for those cars!

The latest update also corrects the inversed manual exhaust flap switches (available in the diagnostic menu) and fixes miscellaneous bugs with flashing and app debug log sharing.

We would like to thank all the testers that helped us during development, we appreciate all the support and feedback.

Sincerely,
The MG Flasher Team

Custom Code v7.0 for F-Series B48 Hybrids, B46, B48 and B58
MG Flasher update v358

MG Flasher is pleased to announce the release of the latest Custom Code, v7.0. This update brings support for the long-awaited F-Series B48 Hybrids! Hybrid owners will now be able to make use of all Custom Code features including Switchable Maps, Dynamic Burbles, Max Cooling and more On-The-Fly (OTF) options. Antilag is also available for B48 custom tuners who will be working on built engines. Majority of these hybrids have software version SWFL 3076-050.006.002 (R1C9I562B), however, all F-Series B48/B58 software will now be supported! More information about which software versions have Custom Code available can be found here. To gain access to the new Custom Code update, ensure you’re using MG Flasher app version 358 or newer. You can now also flash OTS and custom maps without any Custom Code, by selecting v0.0. This is useful for troubleshooting, or if you prefer full OEM functionality. In addition to the added support for Hybrids, Custom Code v7.0 also brings the following features:

  • Long term storage of On-The-Fly feature settings:
  • OTF settings will be preserved between flashes, battery changes, other maintenance tasks.
  • Requires an ignition cycle to initiate saving. Data storage is triggered when ignition is turned on. For example, set Max Cooling status, turn ignition off, wait 5 seconds, turn ignition on and it will be stored to the ECU’s long-term storage.
  • OTF settings include Switchable Map slot selection, Burble aggression level, Max Cooling status and Antilag standstill RPM setpoint.
  • Logging ethanol content when using a CAN based sensor (PT-CAN2 & ID 0x0EC)
  • Safety protocol from switching into empty slots:
  • Switchable maps and burbles OTF will prevent invalid selection, defaulting to slot 0.
The ability to save On-The-Fly settings will eliminate the need for their adjustment after flashing, providing a more user friendly and seamless integration of our On-The-Fly options. Users will no longer need to spend time adjusting their settings after every flash and will be able to enjoy their favourite setup even after flashes.

The added ethanol content logging parameter will provide users (who have CAN based sensors) the ability to monitor their ethanol content through the MG Flasher app. Any CAN based sensor connected on PT-CAN2 which uses ID 0x0EC and follows the same data format of Zeitronix’s ECA-2 CAN Bus module. You can find more details about Zeitronix’s sensor on their website: https://zeitronix.com/Products/ECA/ECA2CAN.shtml. This feature works with majority of CAN based ethanol sensors already available on the market and paves the way for the integration of our own Flex Fuel implementation.

MG Flasher is also releasing updated OTS maps for the F-Series B48 Hybrid platform: v2.2 package 91 ACN, 95 RON, 98 RON, 100 RON, E30, E40 with Switchable Map support. These maps include fueling, ignition timing and boost improvements that provide optimized results with more safe power! Refer to our Confluence based User Manual for OTS maps slot adjustment infographics here. Please note, although Custom Code support for all F-Series B48 and B58 is now available, not all OTS maps have been prepared with Switchable Map slots! Check the release notes for the OTS map you’re flashing to see if it includes populated Switchable Map slots. Eventually, all OTS maps will be released with Switchable Map support. Until then, please sit tight, we are working as hard as we can to make them available for everyone. If you cannot wait for the official release of OTS maps with Switchable Map support, you can reach out to Authorized Tuners to have them prepare it for you.

The engineering team at MG Flasher realized very early on that with the vast variety of different software versions being released, they would not be able to keep up with manually creating Custom Code for individual software versions. For this reason, we decided to move towards automating majority of the building process. This allows for a single code base for the main functionality of Custom Code, while automating the heavy lifting of applying that code to all the different software versions. When new software versions are released by OE manufacturers, we’ll be able to release Custom Code support shortly after! Furthermore, we’ve moved Custom Code to the cloud, which will allow users to download update whenever syncing their app. No need to release a new app and wait for Apple or Google to review app changes and approve the releases. For end users, this means new features, bug fixes, and updates will be released at a significantly faster rate!

With the release of Custom Code support for all F-Series B48 & B58 vehicles complete, our team has split up into two: finalizing Custom Code testing on generation 1 G-Series support for B48 & B58 and developing flex fuel support for all generation 1 vehicles. This means that once flex fuel support is released, generation 2 Custom Code will be our primary focus. With the new automation tools available at our disposal, Custom Code for generation 2 will be available even sooner! Be on the lookout for our social media stories where we’ll be looking for generation 2 beta testers!

A big thanks goes out to all the beta testers who helped in the troubleshooting and testing of the new Custom Code ecosystem! They are a fundamental part of the development process. We greatly appreciate the time these testers spent, the effort they provided and the feedback they gave to make a better experience for you. We thank everyone for their hard work and dedication in helping us provide a finished product that we are very proud to share with you today!

Happy Flashing!
The MG Flasher Team
