Active Autowerke Programmed Xede Processor Updates

Ryan(e92) · 06-04-2007, 04:26 PM

Are you developing downpipes? If so when will they be available?

Is this harness and Xede transferrable to other N54 engines in other models (535, 135

, etc)?

Thanks in advance

Updates are free, however upgrades are not.

You will be able to load software updates/upgrades your self.

We are currently testing our Active Autowerke programmed Xede on a 535 at the moment. We will release more info soon.

Waited over 2 months for PROcede and then finally cancelled.........Now I cant wait to get AA's XEDE! I trust AA to be a pretty good buy judging by the fact that they have sooo much experience with BMW's.

Does catback and BOV void the warranty?

What kind of performance would we be looking at with XEDE only?

What value does the BOV introduce? i.e. I've read that they do not enhance performance and really only good to enhance the sound of the engine.

Do you folks recommend/perform the CDV mod for 6 speeds? If so, how much?

On your dyno results, how do we convert the speed x-axis to rpm?

Thanks.

Well I have to say I am more a fan of ECU remapping, I have always done it this way and on the two occasions I have had add on boxes I have been disapointed, however I put my AA Xede in yesterday and I am delighted with the results, just driving round normally you would think the car was stock, if anything it actually seems a little smoother, then from 2500rpm or there abouts things start to get real interesting.

A very, very impressive product. I am in the UK and have posted my findings up on the UK forums, so if you get any UK orders coming through make sure you look after them on shipping costs etc. There are a few interested parties already.

You warranty cannot be voided by these mods

The gains should be fairly similiar. I dont want to give an exact # but there are a couple members who have posted dynos with stock exhaust. Remember every car is a bit different. After maybe 10 back to back runs we notice that we are able to maintain the power with our exhaust system.

It is more of a cosmetic mod but technically it will be able to handle higher boost levels better later on. Not to mention the stock look and nice sound (some people dont agree and that is fine)

Yes, technically it should add to the lifetime of your clutch if you drive hard. It would probably be a .5-1 hr. labor. It is fairly simple, you just have to do a couple tedious things like bleed the clutch, etc..

We have to do it. We will get it done later today when Jean gets in.

Sorry about your previous experience. Your order shipped yesterday and you should have gotten a tracking # via email. If not contact us and we will get it for you.

I have their Xede with no other mods. My results were 276whp stock and 323whp with Xede.

I wasn't able to get any torque readings.

Can someone please tell me what a "CDV" mod is and whats its purpose. Thank you.

Why no torque readings? Would love to see what you did on Xede alone...

That's what I want to hear, XEDE for 535i.
Are you expecting similar number on 535i?
Are you working on software for sport-auto trans, for more agressive shifting with this XEDE?
Wish I have 93 fuel but here 91 is as high as you can get.

Dyno operator probably didn't hook up the tach clip to the spark plug wire.

Ander · 06-05-2007, 05:11 PM

Dyno over RPM?

Spool · 06-05-2007, 06:21 PM

At high elevations...will this unit throw a CEL?

I go up to the mountains on my spirit drive a lot, what will this do at high elevations? probably around 5000+ ft above sea level...

DrDomer · 06-06-2007, 10:07 AM

After seeing Shiv's dyno of the Procede V2.0... the above is now old news. You guys have some work to do again. Maybe there's a beta tester you can swindle...

Shiv's bringing the heat.

bimmerlex · 06-06-2007, 10:32 AM

Jean, just curious, any plans on keeping up the competition with Vishnu and release new maps for current Xede?

give them time and im sure they'll release something with similar if not more hp/torq. This will go back and forth several times as its just competition.

epiphone3 · 06-06-2007, 11:36 AM

just be careful not to sacrifice quality/reliability for an extra bit of power.

Ado · 06-06-2007, 11:49 AM

This is now pretty old news since the PROcede will now get you 42+ more HP to the wheels then the XEDE
