MHD N55 E-series

MHD Tuning UG

About this app

MHD Flasher is the first Android handheld application to bring ECU tuning and monitoring to the BMW N55 engine for E series. The MHD Flasher reveals the good margin of power BMW left on the table with the N55 while still retaining the sophistication of the original engine management program.

→ Easy to install
Connect any compatible Android device to your car using an MHD Wifi adapter, install one of the pre-purchased MHD maps and enjoy the power and performance benefits of the MHD maps by Twisted Tuning.

→ Keep an eye on the tuning
Monitor your engine behavior using a configurable gauges layout to keep an eye on any of the 50+ engine monitors like oil temp, boost pressure, actual load or individual cylinder ignition timing. Activate the logging mode to save up to 50 monitors to a standard CSV file for later analysis. Track issues by reading the error codes, and delete them once resolved.

→ Flash your ECU back to a stock anytime, as often as you need to. No ECU backup is needed.

→ Custom tuning support
As an alternative to built-in maps, many tuners can provide advanced custom mapping for those who have higher or special performance needs.

Ratings and reviews

Went from using only JB4 to using a Burger Motorsports BEF tune installed via this app and it changed the cars driveability 100%. Playing with burble and other options via the app are also a plus. I can't speak to the OTS maps and their quality, since I'm stacking BMS products, but I'm thoroughly satisfied with this app. Now to just get E8x/9x N55 the standing burble. :) Car: '11 135i N55 DCT Suggestion: popup notice if device isn't in airplane mode before flash to remind user before starting.

Yes, I have a question about my gauges not working. When I plug my phone up to my car, I click on the data logging button. It then sometimes says "contacting dme" or "if screen doesn't clear in 1 minute restart phone." I have tried all of that and the gauges show up, but they do not move when I am driving. What should I do?

So anytime I connect a Thor Adapter to this app for live monitoring, as soon as I turn off the car, the Thor is no longer working, I'm connected to it, but it's not being detected in xDelete, Mhd, Bimmerlink/code. I've gone thru 3 Thor adapters.
