Used car with a procede

I purchased a used 2008 335 that has a procede on it and didn't have much interest in messing with it until I recently got my car to FBO. About a year and a half ago the procede website was still active and a person could download firmware or a user tuning interface, but that website is now gone. All I can really find online is links for the user manual. I'm wondering if there is a way to at least get the most recent user tuning interface so I can hook up my car and see what the chips tune settings are or run some logs.

In the future I'll want to move to a tuner that is still supported but for now I want to at least make sure the procede is at its factory defaults and the previous owner didn't have it cranked right up or something.

Thanks in advance

Personally I would rip that thing out and throw it in the trash, put everything in the ECU box back to stock, button it up and just flash it with MHD which is much better and if you need something that can't be done inside the ECU to support your bolt ons, then add a JB4 with a backend flash.

Yessir, OP, you answered your own question. No support for the Procede so why not move onto the easiest and bestest platform there is. Yank it out, button it up, flash to success.

Unless someone has the files on their personally computer the only people who would have them after that are the guys at OpenFlash.

That being said, if you are looking to continue modifying and want to have current support and the latest stuff, consider the JB4 like others have mentioned.

Funny how my first account was banned for calling out scumbag shiv, claiming he's going to money grab and leave the community shortly after releasing his OFT.
