LET has a GT1 as well

I'm not going to worry about it since paul went in with oil change without any issues. they don't do a diagnostic check on your car when they do an oil change, just change the oil dates and milage.

Actually I didn't get an oil change. They did a once over on the car to check for any current problems and "scoped" the car. My thought is that they put someone on the car to read for any codes when doing this? Oil change is still 6000 miles away (didn't have as many miles on my car as I thought since last one).

looks pretty big in that pic... not sure I'd want something that huge but it'd be nice to get rid of my hideous looking parrot bluetooth and then get added features of the navi even though I already have a garmin.

might just be replacing 1 ugly accessory for another EXPENSIVE ugly accessory

I had the "scope" done today, too. Basically they just check to make sure everything's in running order, top off fluids, etc.

The tuner code is set off by running too much torque if your DME is post 29.2. LET should have found away around that already I would think.

Cool concept, but the first smaller photo in that article that shows it mounted makes it look HUGE. Go idea, but needs more refinement. Why not just duct tape your Garmin to the mirror you have now and write "Smart-Mirror" on it with a Sharpie?

cuz that would be gay paul... thats why.

I was only considering for the bluetooth stuff since its not an ugly eyesore in the middle of my dash. The navi would have been a bonus but yeah, I agree its way too big.

Nah mines been good. It so weird when orb vase and the others are saying they're having problems. Kind of wonder how it'll be down the road but I've had my tune longer than a couple of the guys who have been having problems. I've had no hpfp and it's felt strong. Altho the hpfp may be giving out cause it feels like it's bucking. No real movement in the rpms but I'll find out on Friday. I'm gonna have them check it out and see what they say. Id like to hook up the BT and see what codes I've thrown.

According to the threads popping up, dinan has been avoiding some fuel pump claims etc and bmw has been saying they wont do anything b/c its a dinan...so youre stuck mediating in the middle I guess (hopefully its not like that everywhere)

do you mean rough @ idle, or while moving? ive had some rougher idle, but its the sparkplugs here..replacing them and all should be well (advancing timing+lower fuel level + 15k miles =new plugs needed)

I've had a couple rough idles but they said it was just the new Bmw software
Adapting to optimize the engine. But it feels herky jerky at speed like 40 and 70. Could be in my head tho I'm not sure, only time will tell. I'm going to replace my plugs at 30k I'm at 24k and put the tune on at 8k.

Yea one guy replaced them at 20 or 25 and they looked fine so I figured the first time I'll wait till 30 then the next at 25 if they're really fouled. But the jerky comes once and a while not all the time.
