My completely unrealistic wish is for full integration into Idrive, be darn cool to be able to access user adjustables and command center maybe even data logging! î„…

That would be sick, but probably more work than the Procede box is capable of handling. I think an iPhone/Android app with a bluetooth/wifi attachment is more realistic!

Agreed. My brother mentioned this the other day saying, "this will be the next big thing..."

We shall see...

Quotes from the thread:
• Is it okay to keep the actuator in my trunk unplugged throughout winter, or would it be a better idea to plug it in for winter to allow the cats to heat up?
• For the BMW specifically it reduces the effects of low frequency sound(drone), while improving the torque characteristics at low RPMs.

Assuming these are true, why not have the Procede take advantage of all of these?

Performance Maps – opening of the valve based on oil temperature and perhaps throttle position/gear selection/rpm. Might help some of us get to safe boost temps quicker. Might also help reduce startup emissions in catted cars. Might help with low RPM torque management (TC/LC, etc) based on current gear selection and RPM. Could also be closed after a period of cruising time to reduce drone. For those who wish to keep the valve open all the time, make it a user adjustable item.
Valet and Economy Maps – leave valve closed to improve torque, efficiency of cats, and reduce drone.
Methanol and Nitrous maps – always open I would guess, except if it helped with TC/LC torque management.
Diagnostic invisibility/CanClear – No need to plug/unplug the actuator in the trunk. Let the Procede handle all of it. Put in Valet Mode, drive around for 20 minutes or so, remove Procede, safe to take to dealer.

One aftermarket exhaust system utilizes some of these parameters for an exhaust valve:

So what do others think about the Procede determining the timing for the opening and shutting of the valves?

I like the idea of it if the Procede can handle this!

Alright here's a request (I think Shiv may already be working on this):

For those of us who are into coding, the Procede (at least the N55 v4 Procede) blocks our ability to connect to the ECUs. Therefore I propose the Procede have an option in the User Software (through the serial port!) to temporarily disable the CAN connection on the Procede. Something to turn off only while coding and turn it back on when we're done...

What kind of coding are you referring too?

All the stuff in this thread:

Digital Speedo, options in the CIC, remote roll up of windows, etc etc

+1. This seems to be the case. When coding is attempted, an error is usually displayed.

With the Procede out, there is no issue at all and coding works fine.

Amlethae is referring to NCSExpert and INPA (and the Ediabas server). Incidentally - I would suspect that this meant that if you came into the dealer with the Procede hooked up, THEY would get errors scanning your car, as well, since NCS Expert and INPA is what the dealer uses as well. They may not be able to draw the immediate connection, but just sayin'.

Shiv is the battery reset adaptation feature functional on the Procede?

I believe this has to do with the CanBus feature. When set to Map 0(Valet mode), its in pass through so there is no issue with communicating with the CanBus network (sort of using a BT TOOL with the Procede). I know Rick did some programming to make it work with the P3 vent gauge Rev II (LINK)

[Pseudo Nim]

So you're saying valet mode should fix it? I have a feeling it didn't. I'll have to try it on my friend's car again, but I seem to recall having it set to valet mode still generated the coding errors.

I have the Procede install on my N54. I have the corner headlight deletes, close all windows, mirrors & sunroof with FOB, and digital speed on cluster myself.
Alex took care of it (LINK)

[Pseudo Nim]

Did you have errors prior to switching to valet mode, then switch to valet and then became able to perform the coding?

Contact Alex at AKMotorwerk. But I believe you shouldn't have a problem by putting it in Valet mode (Map 0) while coding and agree with Amlethae that Shiv should make it work like Rick did with the P3 gauge Rev II.

[Amlethae]

It's a problem specific to N55 v4 Procedes. Even with CANClear=0 and Map=0 the Procede still talks to the CAN... Shiv is hoping to fix this when the N55 v5 software comes out... but my thought was that maybe there's good reason to leave it talking to the CAN, and I don't really care normally, just when I'm coding. So if we add a little toggle to the user software then Shiv can do whatever he may need to on the CAN side with no worries... if it allows cooler features to come out in the future, all the better :-)

Happy New Years Guys!

Amiethai is correct. The N55, unlike the n54, doesn't disable CAN communications when in Valet Mode and engine off. This can be changed easily. So expect an option to disable all Procede CAN activity with the next update coming out next week.

This week, Shiv will be in NY doing some cold weather testing/development on the n54. He expects to test and sign off on a few nice updates. Including one that will actually result in more power at WOT. The following week, he'll port the new stuff over to the n55 firmware and introduce the no-CAN mode mentioned above. So it should be an interesting way to start off the new year

Thanks Calvin! Sounds awesome! I live in Brooklyn, if Shiv needs an N55 Procede to test on I'd be more than extremely happy to accommodate

So what you are saying is that this conversation is 100% not applicable to N54 Procedes and is resolved simply by going to valet mode? ......... doh. wtf then.

incidentally: in order to perform coding, the ignition must be on but engine off. how does that affect the procede?

is it for n55 motors?

With the n55 Procede, the CAN network is being polled for data even with the engine not running. This was necessary in order to retain the throttle pump code read/clear feature. But we can accommodate coding by simple offering a no-CAN mode which we can include in the next update/release.

None of this is applicable to the n54 which disables all CAN communications when the engine isn't running, regardless of what map is active.

Both n54 and n55.

so later we can get this on v5 just updating firmware?
