FAQ

Q: What is this?
A: xDelete is an App for Android Smartphones/Tablets, due to release in Dec. 2018. It will enable you to switch your BMW with AWD (All-Wheel-Drive) to full RWD (Rear-Wheel-Drive) mode.


Q: Whats that good for?
A:
  • Being able to switch between modes, opens up various fun things. BMW and Mercedes understood that as well and made their latest and greatest AMG and M cars also switchable between AWD and RWD.
  • You get two cars in one. RWD in Summer, AWD in Winter.
  • Get rid of the understeery behaviour the xDrive system generates
  • Drift your xDrive properly in dry/wet conditions
  • Maybe do a burnout here and there
  • Protect the xDrive from too much torque in big power cars
  • As the xDrive’s transfer components fail here and there and are expensive, you may also just turn it off, instead of repairing.


Q: Is this only for Auto BMW?
A: No. It does not matter if your car is equipped with Manual or Auto Transmission.


Q: What about iOS/Apple?
A: Not yet. We will port xDelete to iOS somewhere in 2019.


Q: What hardware do I need to use xDelete?
A: Either a normal OBD INPA cable or Thor Wifi Adapter. Both available at www.bimmer-connect.com for EU and www.bimmergeeks.net for US


Q: Is this part of xHP?
A: No, it's a separate App and is not related to xHP.


Q: Is this bad for the All-Wheel-Drive?
A: No. It won't do any harm, to any components of your car.


Q: How do you do it?
A: We flash the xDrive ECU (called VGSG) with an altered dataset, to keep the transfer case clutch open all the time. This means, your front wheels won't be driven any more.


Q: Do I need to have my Android connected to car all the time?
A: No. You only need to connect it, when you want to switch between AWD and RWD.


Q: Does this affect the rest of the car?
A: No. You can use your vehicle normally and all other components will work just like they did before.


Q: Do I lose my factory warranty?
A: In theory, yes. Practically the usage of xDelete is not detectable for BMW testers or any other tool.


Q: Can i use xDelete permanently?
A: Yes, you can drive your car all the time in RWD mode. No downsides with that.


Q: How often can I switch between AWD and RWD?
A: As often as you like. There is no limit.


Q: Do I need a charger for flashing?
A: The flash is very fast. No charger needed.


Q: I use JB4...anything to know?
A: JB4 tends to disturb flash processes, even when set to Map 0. If the flash fails with JB4 on Map 0, please disconnect it for the flash.


Q: I use an Awron Data Diplay....anything to know?
A: Please turn it off for the flash. You can turn it on again afterwards. Same goes for similar displays.


Q: Will there be a special license for Tuners?
A: We will offer a yearly subscription service for Tuners. Please e-mail us at office@rbttuning.com for a quote.


Q: Will there be a Desktop/Laptop version?
A: No, we won’t port it to Desktop.


Feel free to drop your questions here, we'll be monitoring this thread on a regular basis and post all updates regarding release and future functions!
