Siemens ECUs - the reflash/modding possibilities

[DucNaked]

Yup   .

Two thumbs up for the Rexxer and a couple of these for Christian     .

Christian is the man! Can't say enough good things about the guy.

I've sent him a link to this thread and I hope he stops bye. I have a feeling he's going to sell  a lot of these units and flashes.

I wish everyone provided the costumer service this guy does!  

[mattc7]

when purchasing a unit, you specify the tune, and the features?

Just checking, as this may be on the list of things to do before going to dyno the PCV when the waspworks kits come out.

Must get rid of stupid immobilizer, and 02 sesnors.  Proper map across the board. 

And a personalized startup doesn't look too bad either!

[DucNaked]

Yup, it's that easy.  Just tell them your set up and what you want done.
The personalized start up is  You can get up to 15 standard characters.

hey ungeheuer,

here's the real question.
could you take your future PC V map, and add it to the dp map via Rexxer and eliminate the PC V?

Do I set this at the time of flash or do I tell rexxer what message I want prior to receiving the product?





Just wanted to say THANK YOU do DN and Ung for taking a leap and being our test pilots for the rexxer unit. You guys are great!! I'll be ordering as soon as I get my bike back. My wallet however, does not approve.

Seriously though, you guys are awesome!

No is the short answer. 

As far as mapping goes, the Rexxer device comes with a new tuning map (to your specifications) and thats that.  No GUI interface a la Powercommander from where you can manipulate the map. 

I did run that possibility by Christian right at the outset.  Although I'm sure he can build you a Rexxer loadable ECU map with the same characteristics.... how to determine would be the issue.  Christian told me that having access to my PCV mapping wouldnt help him arrive at a result.  Nonetheless, he was very keen to write me custom mapping for my WASP intake w/ Termi Full exhaust combo.  So arriving at the desired end result is entirely do-able without PCV.  Thats the main advantage >> go directly to your desired outcome,  but as we discussed earlier the problem is that outside of Europe you got no way of measuring and/or fine tuning the Rexxer setup.  Its "suck-it-and-see".  At least with my PCV hanging off it, I can custom tune my piggy-back solution at my local Dyno.  Or not  .

But your theory is sound.

Would you recommend working through spareshack or directly with Christian at rexxer hq?

You specify all your requirements - including any custom "welcome" message - ahead of your order.  I just sent Christian an email.

I'll let DN speak for Spareshack, but with the great service we got from Chris I'd buy directly from him again anytime. There was a problem, it wasnt fun, the man got us the solution in lightening fast time and always in good humour despite the heat.  Sounds like I'm onboard with Rexxer here I know, but its not so.  Credit where its due is all.  My vote: Go direct to the source.

Sent you a PM.

I agree with ung, go with Christian. Although SpareShack is where I ordered it from all my support came from Christian. If I'd known how good his English was I would have bought from him. Also there is no price difference.

I just put up a little write up in Tutorial. Nothing much, but it might help someone.

Well, I'm "all in " as they say. I just made my order for the Rexxer User through Christain. I will be the 1st guy in US to use it on the 696. I'm getting 2 maps one for slip on's, free flow air filter with 02 sensors & 10K RPM rev limit. One map without O2 sensors installed in case I want to try piggy-back a PCV. So any 696 guys on the fence hang tight & I will post up results. I may even do some before and after Dyno runs just to see the power curve changes. 

[DucNaked]

You don't need the pcv to run without o2 sensors. I don't have one and I have them removed. I'd just run the "without" map, it makes the bike run so much better below 3000rpms.

Congrats on your purchase! If you have any questions feel free to PM me.

Ok, small update.  I received my Protune today.  Installation was all of about 3 minutes.  Remove the seat, plug it into the small port (DDS?  I can't remember right now), turn ignition on and follow the on screen prompts.  When all said and done, display now reads "Racing 696" so you know it took.  Unfortunately, it was raining tonight (of course), so I didn't really get a chance to put it through it's paces.  I can say that it now starts and idles much much better, and sounds pretty f'n mean idling now!  Quick throttle blips, especially when cold, no longer result in it stumbling.  Just very quick throttle response.  One quick note though; when you get done, it'll be in EU mode instead of USA, so all your measurements will be in kilometers.  To fix that, just hold the 2 position selector switch up, turn the key on, then hold down for 5 seconds.  Display will now read '000000 Pro'.  Move the switch up and release until you scroll through all the zeros and it will read 'Unit set' if I remember correctly.  Hold down until it says ecu, then you can scroll through EU, UK, JAP, and finally USA.  Hope this helps anyone who gets the protune.  I'll update tomorrow evening as I will be riding to work and back.

Thanks for the info, I'll shoot you PM when I get the Rexxer in my hands I already have a question or 2. It's good to hear that it will run much better below 3K that will make around town traffic much nicer.

Just a note about the ProTune.
I didn't have the issue with the display reading the wrong units. My bike went straight to USA.  Of course, I bought my ProTune directly from the company in Italy.

The dyno results are on a post at the DML, If anyone wants me to, I can also post them here.  Let me know.
