Xhp Transmission Flash
so, now the austrian guys have cracked the coding for the zf8 box, has anyone done or had theirs done ? in particularly interested in the 335d or 435d version. going to get mine flashed (doing it myself, probably, so that i can choose the best map, and revert to standard if required).
the car has already being remapped (435d) and the icing on the cake will be the xhp transmission map. coming from the amg, i find that altho the zf box is better, it is somewhat 'restricted' and could be better .... cue xhp ! for those not familier with the transmission remap https://www.xhpflashtool.com/ reviews say it totally transforms the transmission, and a couple of friends who have the zf6 remapped say it makes as much difference as an engine remap, and both together are awesome. so over to you guys, talk to me !

I've flashed stage 3 on my 435d. It's definitely an improvement with quicker shifts, the torque converter locks up sooner, gear display and the removed torque limits in readiness for a remap.
It's not the night and day change I saw on my E90 330d with the N57 though. |

XHP also has multiple transmission maps - shame it's so expensive (€349 for the 8 speed ZF units).

I want to get this flash done.
My car has been re-mapped. The tuner is offering to install the flash and correctly set it up for the custom map. Same price. Would this be the route to go as it sounds like the flash would alter with some of the setting changed in the custom map? |

Still a slow time 0-62. https://www.car.info/en-se/bmw/3-series/330xd-6613255 Knocking half a second off an 8 second 0-62 with a gearbox flash is a lot easier than knocking half a second off 5 seconds, so don't expect the same 0-62 performance gains from a gearbox flash on an F30 with the 8 speed box.

I have booked my car in at Durham Remaps who did my custom map. They have developed a process to match the XHP flash to the characteristics of the custom map. Different map settings will need to be considered in order to optimise the flash. They mentioned pressures....

I've tried to contact XHP three times in the past two weeks, using their Web form. No response whatsoever.
Doesn't give me any confidence that this is a product I want to buy, or that there would be any support available if I did.

Added to that, I can't apply or reinstate it (if the dealer overwrites it). If XHP bothers to answer sales enquiries and actually releases the rumoured iOS version then I may be tempted.
