Sorry, can only answer this one. The unit comes with a wire that you personally need to attach a switch to. This way, you can use whatever switch type you want and mount it wherever you want. This opens up the options as to your personalizing the Attache. Also, technically you dont want to switch it "on the fly" as it takes a few seconds to switch maps. You want to do this when youre not on the throttle, like resting at a stop or red light at idle.

I dont like switches

I want full power @ all times

Any Helix installs yet???

BoostedBMW · 02-14-2008, 06:54 PM

So, have you guys made a final decision as to how updates will be handled? Thanks.

cn555ic · 02-14-2008, 09:40 PM

If they choose to update maps via the internet, they will be selling these like hotcakes for sure!!

bronco · 02-14-2008, 11:22 PM

they need to have a IR or BT data transfer capability so we dont have to take it out of the car every time there is a new map...

TheAcAvenger · 02-14-2008, 11:24 PM

They can make me type in binary if I have to, just send me the unit!

With IR you still need a line of sight for it to work. I would be happy with a serial/usb port

You guys are gonna love it.. This tune has a great "holy sh!t" effect. They tend to be the first words out of the mouth of people when you take them for a ride.. hell you'll be saying it a lot yourself.

Are you asking if you'll be saying that in this lifetime? With the way Helix does business, I'd say yes.

Rhythm_16 · 02-15-2008, 09:59 AM

Hey guys, I finally got my Attache installed yesterday and I have to say is WOW. The car is so much faster it's crazy. I was there yesterday and the Helix guys are great and answered any questions. I drove away and the car was completely different. No codes or anything it all works great. Just driving in regular traffic you can't really tell anything is different, but then you go to pass somebody and you get so much more power. Overall this is a great tune and I would tell anybody to get one.

baltik · 02-15-2008, 10:00 AM

Can someone pls explain what the difference between a helix and a procede is? IE slightly different tune on a procede dark without map upgrading ability - ie what is the sellign point of the helix?

Eazyrock · 02-15-2008, 10:01 AM

Its not "WOW" its "holy sh!t"... keep up with the lingo.. hehe.. j/k.. congrats man and welcome to the attache' fam.

Selling point of Helix is that it has no limps (yet), customized maps, and the price of 795....

Enough said....
