To Limp or not to Limp........!
Ok, well the time is near where the choice has got to come down to the two.....PROcede?---or---Xede?.
I Leave in South Florida and one would think that going with AA's xede would be the better choice; well being a part of this community hopefully would help me make the "Right" choice.... First of all, let me just say whether is just installer’s error/Computer management malfunction etc...That the "LIMP" mode post's have had me hold back for the most time. Now, I am not the kind person who is going to be able to take the car to the track and burn the rubber just for fun. I save my notes for my little ones future, that said....I still want to be able to push it once in a while and get up to speed quick. Question, has XEDE gone into LIMP Mode as much as PROcede? seriously, I Don’t go for one more than the other, I am just trying to preserve my engine. Thx for your posts. |

They are both very good products, and both have experienced limp modes. You look hard enough, you'll find them. However, whether any limp mode is a result of the piggy back is a presumption, which I am not convinced is proven.

Yeah, well I have...I agree with JonMartin though, it is not any problem. Also, how many miles have you driven on your Xede?

Both have gone into limp mode. Do a search for some xedes running at altitude...
When there are 20-25 procede users to 1 xede user, the issues with the procede v1 versions are more visible. V2 is supposed to eliminate these issues. |

Hey Maverik!!!
You'll not face any issue with PROcede as long as you upload the LBT map which ,to my opinion, has proven more linear than the standard map. I find the LBT solution ,perfect.

I've had Procede 1.xx for 14,000 miles with no limp modes in FL. Most people with Procede and with Xede have no problems. I wouldn't make my decision based upon limp mode posts. If you're in S. FL, Xede is a good option for you, because of the availability of AA. They have a whole package of options available, and very happy customers. On the other hand, you don't find any unhappy Procede customers on this board.
You won't go wrong either way. Just enjoy the car! |

In another thread I can't find right now, AA stated they have other authorized dealers. Where can I find a list of these authorized dealers?
Any close to St Louis, MO? TIA |

someone PM me and told me to wait another 1-2 months to see what kinda feedback the V2 has got on Limp modes, MAYBE i will do that, final decision would be based upon those V2 users so pls, keep posting if you would pls. OH...Somebody else pm'd me (most PM's I've ever got) too and said that there is a guy on here who had DP's for his 335i BUT only the xede/AA crew were able to relate/fine tune those 2 to work harmoniously together, and that his car gets about 15.2PSI... something that he was unable to attain w' the PROcede???? sounded kinda bias to me...is this true??? |

i think this requires a lot more research that merely posting a thread asking peoples opinion. You are dealing with 2 very different products, although from a distance they might seem very similar. The housing is the only thing thats actually identical, the components differ, as well as the upgadeabiltiy (this will start another riot as to whether V2 is a upgrade or update). there are a lot of factors that go into analyzing a limp mode. like: location, elevation, temp, production date, mods, driver, product, map, etc. You get my point. But to simplify it a little bit, out of all the people that got limp mode, from a PROcede, about 9/10 were due to incorrect installation. the other 1/10 were from not achieving the boost target, and so needed the LBT map. which it fixed.
Xede: now people on this forum will not admit it, but this board is somewhat biased (or most people) towards the Xede in respect that you hear 3 times more feedback about PROcedes than you do Xedes. This is why you hear people assuming that "PROcedes are Limp Mode Prone" which is simply not true. there have been Limp modes reported for Xedes but not described in much detail. This could because either it was a simple problem or just that PROcede users greatly outnumber the Xede users. I personally think some people are just scared to ask about problems with the Xede to avoid a flaming on here. I got scolded by an admin for doing that by the way. If you notice there are very, very few threads started by people praising the Xede, on the contrary every person that buys a PRocede comes and shouts about it the day after. But thats my .002
