Alpina D3 software - Remove Cobb?
Hi guys,
Quick question, and I think the title says it all. I'm considering doing the Alpina D3 software flash on my 335i and am curious as to whether I'd need to remove (unpair) the Cobb tune prior to flashing or not? Also, do most put a battery charger / trickle charger on while flashing? And if so - do you connect to the battery itself (boot) or the terminals under the bonnet? Thanks! |

I think that is quite dangerous to do it without additional power supply. If voltage will drop down the flashing process will be stopped. It's not worth to take this risk. Every ECU in your car should be flashed using battery charger or second car as a power donor.

Perhaps you right, but Better safe than sorry.
Once I did flash KOMBI module with no additional power supply and It had stopped on 7% (beautiful Christmas Tree in my cluster, take a look below), from this time I always use the cables from the other car or battery charger and everything is going smoothly Fortunatelly I did flash it again and everything came back to life |

How long did the KOMBI flash take you? Minutes, hours? |

My question (again relating to COBB): Do I need to unpair the COBB so it's standard, or can I just update SP-Daten with cobb paired?? Thanks! |
