I need to google this location to see how far away it is. If it isn't far, I will try to come up. I have a somewhat poorly attached CF aero lip that I'm hoping ti mount in a bit more sturdy fashion. Perhaps someone might be able to help if I bring some 3M tape?
I am a bit hesitant to say this because I don't want to risk screwing things up, but I have a laptop and the Alpina B3 software. If folks are willing to release me from liability in the event that something goes wrong, I would be willing to bring it up along with my cable and guide people through doing the flash on their cars using my stuff. This is, of course, assuming that I am able to attend and will only be possible for as long as my laptop battery holds out. I have only done this once, but it was on my own car and it worked perfectly. |

Yea, you can't really mess up the Alpina B3 Flash. If it worked for one car then it's the same process on all the others. Worst case is the flash is not successful/incomplete... then you just flash it again. I think you have a total of 70 flashes you can do to the transmission module before it refuses to be updated any more. Let's say someone has a bricked transmission, I'm sure that we can enlist the help of a remote coder to "help" unbrick it or the ultimate worst case of waiting till Monday to see if OneBadMoFo (who works near by) is willing to stop by and unbrick you As for powering your laptop, if you run out of laptop juice and trust leaving your laptop in my condo for charging... I have no issues with juicing you up. As for your 3M tape, I believe one of our members has experience with doing his trunk spoiler... but not the front splitter. Actually I would not trust 3M tape for holding up to the downforce created at high speed on our cars. I would not trust the tape and a couple bolts to hold up with high speed downforce either. Your probably better off taking it to TommyG@Coleman Auto Body to get it done right the first time that's just my 0.02 cents |

A lot of people haven't had a chance to update the thread, but I think we have a strong interest in the BMS backend flashing. I'm going to reach out to Terry@BMS right now as well to get some more details on "gotcha's" i should look out for when attempting this. |
