So,
I got the PROcede in April/May (CANbus and all) I was told at the time i had the latest maps. So been running it for the last few months and LOVE IT!!!

BUT... with all this talk of new maps just released I got a quick question. I downloaded the new maps from Vishnu and am getting ready to head to the car... however...do i need to update any firmware or anything? What else is needed? Or do i just go load the maps and drive the piss out of the car

Thanks guys

No, you've GOT to make sure that you update/run the correct firmware with the correct set of maps.

All necessary firmware should either be in the maps zip folder or on its own as an attachment right there with the new maps.

Hope this helps

I am pretty sure all that was in the file i downloaded and extracted. I'll go try to load it.

If i do not the new firmware what will happen to the car?

it won't run properly. do not load a new map without the proper firmware

OK.. thanks for all the help but now i am getting a little more confused... mostly my fault i am sure. I have extracted one file that states "PROcede User Software_v3_121" and another that states "v3-2.2 2-19 map1=map2"

but my little experience with computer based tuning has me not seeing "firmware" in either of those titles... and raises concern. I have looked all thru the Vishnu site. I am certain what i need is there (if i do not already have it) but am uncertain as to what exactly i am looking for.

On a side note.. I feel pretty comfortable navigating through the user adjustables and hooking up to the car/PROcede... although i have not really changed anything except turning Valet mode on for when the wife drives the car

Again... thanks for all the help and not flaming the rookie!!

Are these what i need?
File Type: zip Bmw_code_description_decimal 6-01-09.zip (7.1 KB, 595 views)
File Type: zip pro01v03beta127.zip (18.0 KB, 408 views)
File Type: zip v3.3 7-29.zip (32.7 KB, 428 views)

located at the bottom of the "New Customers read me page"

[jpsimon]

pro01v03beta127.zip is the firmware. unzip that and it will be a .bin

that is what you need to load first.

do you know the process? to load firmware turn the ignition on (but don't start the car). connect with the proced software and update the firmware. then start the car and load the map

[cstmx_ryder]

1st file is the error/ses code description

2nd file is the firmware file

3rd is the maps file

p.s. jpsimon beat me to it........lol.
