123Tune Bluetooth Install and review...WOW!

I am at MidAmerica. Just got mine wired up and the curve loaded. I wanted to change a few things after a short drive but now I can't seem to communicate with the unit. It has power. The blue light is blinking and not steady as it was before. Any ideas?

I think it's limited to 8000 RPM max

If it's like the 123Tune, I THINK 8K rpm = no rev limiter.

 

You may want to check :)

 

Edit:  yup:  The RPM-limit is set to 8000 rpm, indicating that no rev limiting is active.

 

2nd Edit:  oh yeah, cool!

Mine does this when the distributor gets hot. I have to send mine back when I get a chance.  They said they had not seen this before so maybe it's bad Bluetooth modules?  Try waiting for the car to cool and see if you can adjust curves then. Mine has the flashing curves button when it gets hot. Let me know if you find out something other than that.

Ahhhh. Ok. I will let it "cool" then and see. I did have it off for an hour with the hood open, certainly that should be long enough? Thanks for your input. Luckily the curve that is loaded is decent enough to get me home. Also easy enough to put the old one back.

Well, it has been over two hours. Seems like a reasonable amount of time to recover from heat. Still no communication. Looks like a return trip back to the mfg. 

And the blue light is still blinking.

No communication or its connecting but won't let you adjust curves?  Mine is connecting I can't get into the curves adjustment screen unless it's COLD. So first tine in the morning or after it's been sitting for hours. I worked with them for a while to diagnose it and they thought it was a hardware issue. I get connected and everything working except curves adjustment.

It won't connect. The  123 foes not show up in either the app or the Bluetooth under settings. Like it is not broadcasting a signal. No communication, I suppose.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
