Connecting to your vehicle

Once you have downloaded xHP on your Android/iOS or Apple silicon Mac (M1 processor and newer) device and have acquired the additional hardware needed (see supported flashing hardware), you are ready to connect to your vehicle. This chapter will guide you through the steps needed ANY TIME before attempting to read or flash your vehicle.

Info

We do have a separate Area dedicated to our Windows 10 version of the xHP App.

Preparing device

  • Make sure your device has at least 25% battery capacity left.

  • Set your device to Flight Mode. Bluetooth and 4G/Cellular must be turned off. Especially true when flashing through Wi-Fi connection. (more stable connection)

  • Cable-Connection: Be sure to grant xHP the rights needed to access the local USB/Lightningport on your device.

  • Once a flash has started, leave your device alone. Do not move or touch it.

Preparing vehicle

  • Make sure not to open/close doors during the process. If you want to stay outside during the process, open the side window and operate your device standing next to the vehicle.

  • Ignition has to be turned ON, Engine OFF.

  • Make sure your transmission is in “P” position.

  • Turn off ALL auxiliary devices: Headlights, Interior Lights, Heating, Heated Seats, Radio, NavScreen etc.

  • Lock your Drivers-Seatbelt before starting the flash! Do not unlock, unless the process is completed! (this keeps the Ignition ON)

  • Set your device to Flight mode. (only Wi-Fi ON) Incoming calls through Bluetooth will disturb not only the Android device, but your car too.

  • Make sure you’re only flashing with a fully charged, healthy battery. xHP will refuse to start a flash operation below a voltage level of 11.9 Volt.

Image Removed

The car can draw up to 30 Amps during the flash, so we recommend a power supply able to deliver at least 30 Amp @ 13,8V. (e.g. Maas SPS-30).

The voltage supply needs to be connected to the terminals in the engine bay. DO NOT connect directly at the vehicle’s battery. A normal battery tender or charger does not help to stabilize the voltage during the process. It can only help to pre-charge the battery in advance.

Info

The very first flash on your vehicle will “Install” xHP on your car (“Long-Flash”). This procedure takes approx. 10 min with DCAN. We highly recommend using a power supply for this first flash. After installing, the following flashes will take no more than approx. 2 minutes. These subsequent flashes can be carried out without a charger, but you do not want to see voltage levels below 12V when starting a flash. It is NOT possible to flash the TCU while the engine is running.

Note

If you have any piggy-back ECU solutions installed which interfere on the CAN-BUS (like a JB4) be sure to turn them OFF. Also problematic can be:

  • throttle pedal tuning boxes

  • any performance displays (like Awron)

  • sport-exhaust with sound control installed in the car

  • aftermarket Android Headunits

  • aftermarket CarPlay Units

  • aftermarket HUD (head-up displays)

  • aftermarket immobilizers

  • CAN blocking Anti Theft security systems

  • anything else aftermarket connected to the CAN-BUS (like mileage manipulation devices)

In certain cases, you probably need to remove them completely from the vehicle before. We recommend you to do so, before using xHP!

Connecting through DCAN Cable (E, F & G - Series)

  • Plug in your cable to the OBD port of your vehicle. The OBD port is located in the drivers footwell on the left side.

  • Connect the OBD/DCAN cable with your USB OTG Adapter.

  • Unlock your Android device.

  • Connect the USB/OTG adapter to your Android device and wait for the USB permission screen to pop up. Please make sure that you’re granting permanent access rights to xHP in this screen. On some Android versions, the screen will only appear after startup of xHP. Wait a few seconds after connecting the USB OTG cable.

  • Start xHP and after creating an account and logging in, hit the Connect Button.

Info

If your DCAN cable does have a switch, like the recommended Bimmergeeks cable, please make sure that the switch is in the correct position, otherwise you cannot connect to your car.

Except for E86 Z4’s, E53 X5’s and E83 X3’s, which are using the older K-Line protocol, every other car support the newer DCAN protocol.

How to connect to your car

Once you have downloaded xHP to your Android/iOS or Apple Silicon Mac (M1 processor and later) device and purchased the additional hardware required (see supported flashing hardware), you are ready to connect to your vehicle. This chapter will guide you through the steps you need to take before attempting to read or flash your vehicle.

Info

We do have a section dedicated to our Windows 10 version of the xHP App.

Preparing your device

  • Make sure your device has at least 25% battery capacity.

  • Set your device to airplane-mode.
    The Bluetooth & 4G/cellular must be turned off, especially if you are flashing with a Wi-Fi adapter.

  • Cable connection: Give xHP the rights to access your device's local USB/Lightning port.

  • Once a flash has started, leave your device alone.
    Do not move or touch it.

Image Added
Info

Ensure the device is not connected to the car’s Apple car play.
This can lead to interrupted flashes.

When using the Wi-Fi Adapters and you are still having trouble, please make sure your device ignores all other Wi-Fi sources so it does not change Wi-Fi mid-flash. Also, all other devices do not connect to the THOR/MHD/BM3/xHP Wi-Fi, so they do not interfere. Please check the corresponding Wi-Fi settings.

Preparing your vehicle

  • Do not open or close any doors during the flashing process.
    If you wish to stay outside during the process, open the side window and operate your unit from the side of the vehicle.

  • The ignition must be switched on, and the engine must be turned off.

  • Make sure your gearbox is in the “P” position.

  • Switch off all auxiliary equipment: Headlights, interior lights, heating, heated seats, radio, sat nav, etc.

  • Fasten the driver's seatbelt before starting the flashing process. Do not unlock until the process is complete! (this will keep the ignition turned on)

  • Make sure you're flashing with a fully charged and healthy car battery. xHP will refuse to start a flash operation below a voltage level of 11.9 volts.

  • Sport exhausts with sound control installed in the car

  • Aftermarket Android head-units or CarPlay units

  • RGB angel-eyes or other Aftermarket Headlights

  • Aftermarket HUDs (head-up displays)

  • CAN-blocking Anti Theft security systems, like the "Ghost Immobiliser"

  • Anything else aftermarket connected to the CAN-Bus (like mileage manipulation devices)

On iOS and Windows devices no additional configuration is needed. Just connecting the ENET cable to your device is enough. If you still encounter problems, please check if your automatically set IP Address is within the 169.254.x.x range and make sure there are no network services like VPN, Virtual Networks Adapters and/or Firewalls interfering. Please disable such services in case of connection issues. If your IP is not set in the expected range, you may try to configure manually as explained below.

Android and Mac users need to configure the Ethernet port, after connecting the ENET Adapter to their devices. Please open the settings panel on your device. Depending on your Android version, the procedure may be a bit different. The screens were taken from a Galaxy S9 phone, running Android 9. This procedure is only necessary on the first connect. Your phone will store those settings for subsequent connects. Eventually, you need to re-plug the adapter, after saving the settings to take effect.

more about the ENET cable connection can be found here.

Warning

The ENET-cable cannot be used to unlock and then flash the 3rd Generation 8HP transmission in G-Series BMWs and the new Supra. Please use the DCAN Wi-Fi Adapter.

Theoretically you could use an ENET cable after unlocking your transmission. Should you however need to unlock the transmission in the future, like after uninstalling xHP or a software update, you will need a DCAN-Wi-Fi adapter again.
