Yup, I got the geek-cable....still scary with all the "brick" talk amongst the 08s and newer...

If anyone is ever in N. Dakota....wait, nevermind, I am the only person in this bimmer-free state....

Ha! For what it's worth I was the guinea pig for the pro cable (08 just like yours). I've flashed both DME and SMG back and forth without any issue. Had to return the DME to US for idle hunting to reappear. I got 4 new vanos solenoids out of my warranty, but since the inspector runs the quality test anyway I doubt the dme flash got me anything. Didn't hurt tho. Before leaving the shop I flashed back to euro DME.

LOL if you brick it, I have a spare TCU or can try to recover yours in the name of the S85 Gods for the cost of shipping.

We have to watch out for our remote no bmw friend brothers.

Gotta give this a try

Got all reflashed to euro software and adaptations done but one of the adaptations failed, now I've got the dreaded red cog and Clutch!Adaptation active on my screen followed by some rough shifting. Appointment with BMW set for Saturday morning - research says prob a bad slave cyl - hopefully still under warranty but we will see. It's never easy with me. My luck I guess. My boy terraphantm hooked it up though! Thanks again I appreciate it!

Try hooking up a battery charger or power supply. That made all the difference on mine. If you can't, go for a short ride (engine should run above idle for 5 minutes or so to help battery charge) and run adaptations right after shut off. Make sure you set fan and headlamps manually off as well as radio, and close the door (due to interior lights). You can try several times in a row, no harm.

Why did you run the adaptations tho? AFAIK there's no need to do so when flashing euro smg.

Had my tranny replaced 4 weeks ago. It was rough shifting a bit and I know in the past that fixed it.

Terraphantm, wanna give it another shot?

I have a US market 2010 M6, tried to flash with my old cable and it did not work (same error as everyone else got), but I used the "Pro" cable from Bimmergeeks and it flashed without issue.

In my M6, I do now have 4K launch control, but the car still doesn't automatically shift gears. Can anyone else confirm that the gear shift works on an M5, but not on an M6?

 

[MarkieM5]

If I'm not mistaken, you still have to shift using launch control even on an M5. I've only launched a few times but I could be wrong. I remember bouncing it off the rev limiter.

If you lift the throttle once launched then manual shift

Plant it to the floor and dont move it will do it for you

Thanks, I dont remember if I lifted or not so Ill give it another shot and report back

Tried it again tonight, and it's for sure not shifting automatically. I'd be interested to know if any other M6 owners see the same behavior. I'm using the v60 daten.

I just did the euro tune to my 06, in launch control it now revs to 4200 ish but when I let go of the joystick nothing happens just revs higher. So I went through inpa and did trans adaptation over again, I'm going to shut the car off and let it sleep and see if it will actually launch now. Any advice is appreciated

 

[Wilbur06]

It worked I did the launch, WOW, but now seems to back to us as I only get 1500rpm, uif in inpa still says 7842206 as zb#

That's how it works, it only let's you do it once every 50 miles or so. Have to drive quite a bit for it to work again.

 

[Wilbur06]

Gotcha thanks, well it's successfully euro tuned then and didn't cost a dime. I've also coded the windows up with the key fob.

Does anyone know if the One Stop Electronics cable will work for 2008+? I was looking at buying the Bimmergeeks cable but if the One Stop Electronics one works then there's no need.

Pretty sure you'll only want to use an ICOM for 08+ or risk bricking the SMG...

No. Bimmergeeks pro also works on LCI cars.

Been searching around the internet for the SMG euro tune. I have all of the hardware, I already have been coding my E38 and E39. Any ideas on where to find the software other than a tuner?

Are you looking for spdaten or standard tools?
