Wait for AA software or get Procede now?

mayno · 02-25-2007, 02:45 PM

I already placed my order for the PROcede in early Feb, and I talked to Vishnu this past Thursday (2/22) about my order status and I was told that it would be another 2-3 weeks.

After reading the AA post about their new exhaust, BOV and software will be available really soon, I'm now thinking I should hold off on the PROcede and wait to see what AA's products can do and of course how much it'll cost.

Now that PROcede is here, and Eurobahn just released their upgrade and AA's stuff is right around the corner...I'm very curious to see how they'll price their products.

Anyway, I'm sure I'm not the only one that feels this way. As we all know, competition is a GOOD THING! It pushes all tuners to innovate and offer competitive pricing.

I guess its more of a question of whether you are willing to wait for AAs solution to come out. I am not sure what approach they are taking (ECU flash, piggyback, etc), but I am sure they will have a great product. AA has a great reputation.

Competition is a good thing. I am sure a year from now, there will be tons of 335i mods in general.

in 1 year this would be one of the most modded cars of the century lol

If AA is going to flash the ECU, I'd go with Procede. If you can not wait, go with Procede.

If AA is making a piggyback, wait for their results. Lance from Toyomoto is a very skilled tuner and I would not be surprised if his solution would match or beat Procede.

That is only my oppinion though. Personally, I would go with Procede because I would not have the patience.

Who told you AA software is going to available soon?
Im local to AA and go by there every once in a while....the BOV's will be available withing the next two weeks

The software will be a piggyback program but no ETA has been announced...they are still under testing to i HIGHLY doubt it is "soon"

hl0m4n · 02-25-2007, 05:57 PM

so the AA solution being a piggy back like PROcede is official? do you have any word on the exhaust setup they are making because i know super sprint is comming out with a full setup and when i used to own a m3 super sprint>AA. But AA+Intake+SS= ZOOOOM.

RiXst3r · 02-25-2007, 07:52 PM

AA said it will be ECU software (re-flash)

I meant soon in the relative sense...next couple of weeks perhaps a month or two. If I wait another 2-3 weeks for the PROcede to ship, I "could" wait another 2-3 weeks for the AA software to come out.

Chesmu · 02-25-2007, 09:16 PM

another two weeks till it's out... and another few months to make sure it works the way it's supposed to. Procedehas been out for awhile, and seems pretty problem free.

just my non-turboed 2c.

bmwzimmer · 02-25-2007, 09:16 PM

Give them 3 months.... Vishnu has been testing and finetuning since September....

reflash not piggy back....personally i like that solution better. to me the whole idea of different octane maps for the PROcede and taking the fact not all gas are the same quality no matter what octane...i would perfer and will wait for the ecu reflash and hopefully like the m3 software before be one software for all octanes. also im hoping like the m3 software that went amazingly before, be fully adjustable to new mods such as full exhaust in the future.

procede since its a piggy back and later on if you make any upgrades you can tune it yourself and not have to get a new software
