ESS DirectFlash handheld programmer
I just noticed the ad in Roundel this month. Has anyone seen this?
Roman, if you're still hanging around here, if we have an ESS tune, do we still need to send our ECU in for a second modification for this handheld to operate? http://www.esstuning.com/products/ES...Software-.html

Pretty good review here:
http://www.m3forum.net/m3forum/showthread.php?t=356182 I was just wondering how many different "tunes" ESS may provide or is it just the single tune. I would totally understand if ESS didn't put too much more effort into the S54 though and kudos to them for bringing the OBD tuning to us.

What if you have another form of aftermarket software? Does the unit come with a stock map in place? Or will it simply assume what is on the car before it updates the tune is stock?
Thanks.

It would be sweet if you could get a tune with the adaptive throttle disabled entirely.

How do you do the throttle adaption key trick? I've read about it before in a couple different places but neither was really specific about which ignition position (I or II) to use.

The unit you get is dead and useless essentially without scanning your ecu, emailing it to ESS for them to modify and sending it back since. Still have to email ESS.
