Tuneboy map feature for 1299 and Panigale R

pedrin - I understand your frustration, although my experience is slightly different to yours. I've found that if you have genuine question/real problem you will get support, granted it can take a while due to time zones. But if you're expecting them to baby you through the whole process because you're either computer illiterate or too lazy to read the manual then you won't - I just don't think they have time.

The product itself, IMO, is brilliant. The software has been completely reliable (4 of my friends run Tuneboy), and there are some great new features on the way - for free.

SPJ, you obviously do not understand my frustration, at no point I said that the product wasnt good. I currently dont use the product but guess what, I did had it 7 years ago, for a speed triple, and it was the exact same story, zero support. This is a pattern, the way he operates, he knows people get frustrated, and yet in all this time he hasn't changed his ways.

Other than that:
-Yes the product is brilliant and obviously he is a brilliant engineer, just chaotic in the way he handles his business.

-One shouldn't need to have smart, insightful questions to expect support.

-you are characterizing many people as illiterate and lazy. If he is targeting the average client, the client shouldn't need to be a computer geek or a tuner. The client should know upfront that once you get the product you will be on your own.

-Most often complaints are not about technical issues but about wrong or missing maps, misinformation etc. That has nothing to do with being lazy.

my 2 cents

Any experts out there, I need help.

Today I realised I needed to install the LC-1 sensors for logging to get accurate readings.
Do I have to connect the serial in or out connectors on the sensor/LC1 side to the WB-01 serial in or out ports for logging?
I don't think I can physically as the connectors on the sensor/LC1 side are rectangular and on the WB-01 it looks like round ports.

Will the readings from the LC-01 sensors go via the OBD2 connector to the WB-01 for logging via wifi?

Procedure for connecting wbo2 can be found on the website

Here is my experience with the tuneboy product since everyone seemed to give it on this thread without asking. I had no issues with tuneboy.

1. Pre-purchase questions.....answered promptly
2. Read the manual .pdf top to bottom before attempting ecu flash. Had .pdf up during flash to follow steps. Flash went flawless and cruise control worked first time.
3. ECU needed replacement due to unrelated concern a month ago. I sent tuneboy invoice showing ECU replacement and got a new key promptly.

They are located in Australia and if I send them an email on Friday my time (eastern US). I really don't expect and answer at the earliest until there next business day. (sunday night my time).

If you have an issue the more detail you can provide will benefit you with quicker resolution. Details of the steps you've performed, screen shot error messages etc.....

......and why do you guys come to the forum with questions that are answered in the manual? The download link for the current 1199 V4 software in on there support page and a manual is in the download.

The only thing I could see as a concern is releasing a product before all the support materials are complete and on the website, but I would be exited too if I just finished something cool and wanted to tell the community asap.

I am considering only buying cruise control, just because the bike has a lot more power than I already can handle. Why use a lot of time on tuning and getting more power?

So a question to you guys who have CC;
I regularly ride in Race mode (like using lap time etc). How does the up and down 1km/h for the cruise control work, when I already am using up and down to adjust the EBC on the fly?

Don't say you have to disable that...

Ok Wayne got me sorted, iPhone app is working and gonna try logging tomorrow on an iPhone! Fecking Yaas!

You don't use the up/down buttons,
Just use the starter button to set the new speed after either braking or accelerating to your desired speed.

That's incorrect. The menu up/down button controls the speed.

You don't have to use them, there is an option, I have it installed this way!

Ahhh, I gotcha. Yes, you can turn nudge buttons off in the options menu. Sorry, wasn't clear that is what you meant.

well, first attempt did not work, but I am also Windows illiterate. Have yet to find the point where I can log in my password. There's a local tuner that is very familiar with the Tuneboy platform; I'm just going to hire him. I'll need him to fine tune the mapping anyways on a dyno.

Ok, now that the 1299 system is on my bike and my son is born and I'm off the next three weeks I will look into the app and look forward to checking the cool
Futures out!

Update from me,
I just got the new 1299 + full Akro Tuneboy map from Wayne today (not the Boulder map)
And it is night and day, this is how the bike should be.

I have LC2 wide sensors installed on the stock bungs,
But to be honest if you just use the above map, you won't need them.
I don't think I need to tune it further or add a trim file its that good, well chuffed and recommend it.

In the mid range, there is no lag or low areas just arm ripping pull right through the rpm range,
It's astonishing and really scares the .... out of me now.

question about the different throttle mappings - by pressing the menu up button, can you toggle through the three? or do you have to preset it in TuneEdit?

well, my Windows skills are sorely lacking. My tuner had no problems flashing the ECU. And now the custom mapping begins....

Yes, toggle through the three,
once the ECU is flashed, with ignition on only, no engine running you can toggle-full throttle + menu up.

custom map isn't finished, but the 1299 features are flashed in. and here's what I've got to say about that:
- the three throttle map options are awesome. having 100% in the first 3 gears really ramps up the aggressiveness of this bike.
- I LOVE ELECTRONIC CRUISE CONTROL. It's part of what BMW does right - all those little conveniences a button away. Unless your bike is 100% track-only, there are tons of opportunities to use the cruise control, even for just a minute. And it really lets you rest and adds to the overall comfort level of riding the bike.

The learning curve for Tuneboy is steep for the Microsoft-challenged. I used to map Nissan Skylines, so I'm no stranger to using mapping software. But getting all that stuff working - I STILL can't get past this "XML file something failed!!!!!" when using the program to recognize the com unit, and FlashMitsubishi (on my computer) thinks my ECU is incompatible. But with the fortune to have a local tuner who is very familiar with Tuneboy software and $500 for his services, I'm up and running.

So what were the final numbers after the tuner dialed it in?
