do you guys use the OTS shift point maps, had the sport+ one on my F22 and wanted to see if they have it for the G42 as well.

I drive in manual mode so I do not make use of the shift points, but I can confirm they are there.

How do you get to those settings

Thanks for creating such a detailed walkthrough. I just ordered the xhp flash module. Cannot wait to get this flashed.

I just wanna update everyone to install the newest XHP v1.2 (feb 2024). I would sometimes experience lurching when downshifting from 3-2 because the revs wouldn't match up with the transmission, but v1.2 completely fixed that issue. just for that alone it is a great update.

Question about xHP and OTA updates: Does anyone know if having xHP tune installed will prevent OTA updates?

From what I’ve read, xHP will need to be reinstalled after a dealer software update. But I could not confirm, all though would assume it would be the same, if the same is true for OTA updates.

I have had no issues at all with OTAs but you will have to re-flash xHP and Bimmercode (if you have that) after. and trust me, you will want to re-flash xHP immediately after an OTA because the stock transmission in manual is so sluggish compared to the tune lol. I drove it stock for a couple of days after an OTA and man, I never realized how much of a difference the xHP tune made.

I've been playing with this for over a week. The shifts are faster and buttery smooth and not to say it wasn't already great, but it is just that much quicker.

Nice improvements on the sounds, the ignition cut really adds some great effects to the experience. Also enhancing the blips too. I keep turning the radio off, just want to listen to the sound of the exhaust.

You will not likely get as much improvement in sound from the stock exhuast & downpipe, as it muffles everything fairly well.

Disabling the standstill decoupling has been nice.

Also to note, I recommend resetting the Max RPM back to stock 6900.
Also setting max torque to 800lb, NV Motorsports found with thier tuned car, thay were having issues with launch control with too much torque on the stock trans.
