seems these are just rebuilt valvebodies with no Mechatronic/TCM module

heartpumper77 · 04-02-2013, 10:40 PM

Interesting.. in theory at the bottom you could flash a mechatonics clean ford unit with a BMW file..

You can buy the entire transmission for what they want for the valve body and MCM/ECU. car-parts.com

CN, I saw on the other site you wrote:

"This Alpina TCU flash works for model years 3/07 till present N54 engine only."

Would it work on a 2010 E60 (5 series) with AT, since it also has the N54 engine?

Agreed Wedge, I was just looking for part numbers and options to see if we could find that TCU cheaper. I would assume after you buy the transmission most people would do the Sonnax zipkit before they install it, I am wondering on upgraded torque converter..

stock with flash will handle RB's. Not sure if you want to spend 4g's to get a level 10 rebuild also.

I jumped on the VTTS3 buy. Haven't done anything to my tranny. Will this upgrade suffice??

junitos · 04-04-2013, 12:19 AM

how much $$$

skatenc123 · 04-04-2013, 01:40 AM

can this be done without a battery jumper? how long does the flash usually take?

threethirtyfive · 04-04-2013, 05:25 PM

Just finished this as my first coding project ever! Bootcamp 2007 MBP running 3gig and about 60gig for the partition. First, thanks! Second,

this is AMAZING.

My door jamb shows a 03/07 build date. Since this is the cutoff, am I good or can it go both ways?

Check for 7591971 as EGS module part number in inpa, if you have that number, you can flash

less than 15 mins, I did not use any extra power, but made sure the radio and interior lights were off

AYF80 · 04-05-2013, 05:16 AM

Did that 517 Trans build ever come back and get installed?

TRIPLE-O · 04-10-2013, 12:02 AM

Yeah, it takes under 10 mins if the files are already configured. Just make sure all lights (interior and exterior)/air are turned off as BillionPa noted.

Smoke4U · 04-14-2013, 09:37 PM

Just did the flash today and I like it. Drive is nice and feels refined while sport mode appears to have better shift points and handles abrupt WOT stops better than OEM (it up shifts quicker). A huge thank you to cn555ic for sharing this with the community!

Anyone is S FL who is interested PM me. I am in Stuart and Jupiter quite often.
