About to install DPs

AWD Addict · 09-13-2022, 01:28 PM

Just bought the VRSF catless downpipes to add to my State 1+.

I was hoping to upgrade from the Cobb to a custom tune, but I just found out Bren doesn't service our cars anymore.

Is the MHD flash my only option now?

Trust me you want MHD.

It is the only option you should consider.

Bren originally tuned my car LONG ago.

Can I use my BT OBDII sensor, or do I need theirs?

I'm using the one that came with protool

You know I don't know. You could email them. I always like a wired connection for flashing because I am paranoid. I also have a bunch of cables and don't have a need for the BT.

You can try and see if it will connect and read codes. If it can read codes etc. I assume it should flash just fine.

Just sell your AccessPort on here and use the money to buy the MHD full license. Then you can use whichever tuner you like, pretty much all of them only support MHD now.

You could also just run the Cobb Stage 2+ Aggressive but I never cared for Cobb's OTS maps. I'd go MHD then use Wedge, Trebila, Doc Vu, etc. whoever you want to get a nice tune for your needs.

I know the MHD has a much larger influence on the tables, and is a better tune. I'd have stuck with Cobb just because it's served me fine for so long, but they're no longer providing any tunes over the Stage 1+ or servicing that.

So I think it's time to move on. The MHD app/tech is world's ahead, so given I'm spending some dough, i figure I might as well do it right.

Appreciate the comments. Just bought the universal BT connector from MHD. So off we go.
