PROcede V5 2.5 install help? Basic problem regarding software
Let me start off by saying if this is too complicated, I may be better off just calling Vishnu over the phone. Just couldn't get a hold of them today for some reason.
I bought a used Rev 2.5 a few days ago off a forum member here and it is supposed to be unlocked. It was previously driven on a manual 135i, so he said I would have to change the software which is available online to a 6AT for my 335i. Did a bit of searching and really don't have much of an idea on what to do. Does anyone know how to go about this? Maybe some links would help? I just want to run map 1 with no other supporting mods, if that makes a difference. I think I've got the "physical" installation part down, just need to know how to actually put the software on the device to put it in my car. Thanks in advance

Oh and I didn't see anything on the site that differentiated manual drivers and auto drivers for software downloads except for one of the add on features.

Everything you need is here: http://procedetuning.com/BMW/n54/dow...downloads.html
You need to first upload the firmware for whatever map you decide upon. If I were you, I would go with the latest 4/23 maps. You first install your firmware. Make sure your laptop is plugged into a wall socket during the firmware update process. Then, upload the 6AT Stage 1 maps. After you have uploaded firmware/maps, reset adaptations and clear codes. All the info on how to do this is in the Procede V5 User Manual. Check the user adjustible settings and don't forget about the traction control feature. With stock tires and no LSD, set it to around 25. THEN, start the car. You should be in Map 1. Push DSC twice (quickly) and the RPM guage will move in increments of 1,000 RPM. 1,000 RPM is map 1; 2,000 RPM is map 2, 3,000 RPM is map 3, 4,000 RPM is map 4 and 0 RPM is map 0. Make sure you are in Map 1. Go for a drive. The Procede will not activate until the oil temp guage reaches 170 degrees. Turn off DSC (one push). Floor it. Giggle like a girl.

Wait, so am I supposes to physically install it into my car, then hook up my laptop to update the software? Is it safe to put in the procede even if it has the 6MT maps on it as long as I put it on map 0?

Yes it's fine. Install on the vehicle. Download latest software from the link http://procedetuning.com/BMW/n54/dow...downloads.html Install software on your laptop. Plug laptop into procede via USB-Serial. Open up software. Read the read me files of the maps. Install new firmware and maps accordingly. |

I think your procede is vin locked if the seller never sent it back to Vishnu to unlock. The 2.5 always ran v5 so it has been vin locked to his car. Hope I am wrong about this but if not then you might have to send it to Vishnu and unlock for 150.

The seller said it is unlocked. It better not be locked aha. Im pretty sure you can get licensing off the vishnu website so maybe they had already unlocked it? We'll see

If the seller didn't send the unit to Vishnu for unlocking, then you will. Just ask the seller. You could have ran a v4 map in the meantime if it was rev2, but not with a rev 2.5.

Traction control is a terrific feature so hopefully you can practice dialing that in. Also, logging gives you great feedback. Initially, just figure out how to log while driving and then post up the results here. We will help you understand your logs and with that, you can make some tweaks to make it run even better.

There is a lot to learn with these tunes and I'm pretty new to this as well. Just be patient, read the read me files and try to absorb as much information from this forum as possible etc. before you start messing with settings etc. because these things are complicated and if you're a noob to tuning like me, messing with your ECU is a bit daunting and requires an understanding of what you're doing. Ok, off soapbox! GL and be safe!
