Active Start-Stop Software Update

[ph13ndster]

Hi guys,

I read somewhere on the 1-addicts forum (can't find the thread liao), that BMW has already released a software update to allow last user memory. So if you switched off the start-stop, then parked your car for the night, the next day, the start-stop stays off.

Anyone here heard about this from PML?

thank god they have finally released something like this!

I'm worried that the frequent start/stop could be bad for the engine and I'm keen on getting the memory function.

cheers

It's gonna cost around 200 dollars for the code... at least that's what the advisor told me when I was there...

It doesn't really hurt much to remember turning the function off manually then. Hahaha...

What the?! $200 to correct a badly implemented system? This should be a free upgrade.

Re: Active Start-Stop Software Update

you ask for upgrade = pay labour charge

if they do it while fixing a problem (ie: they need to upgrade the ecu s/w anyway) = free

there is no free lunch, not i say one ...

unless you had mastered yu lai shen jang to bang table

I don't think the auto stop is and invention.Once and then stop n start , parking also like tat. Somemore so jerky when it start.Can't they just do a bypass on that?

Re: Active Start-Stop Software Update

the intent of start/stop is good
however, the technology is not there yet
it's at the begining stage now. need more years for the start/stop to be perfected
soon ... we could be driving electric motor with fake engine sound (optional)
and no need to change oil anymore

:furious:WHAT?? That's just ridiculous if it's only an ECU Update.
