About the Customisation Module
The customisation module offers many functions to change the behaviour of the transmission to your liking! All functions work on your stock calibration as well as on our OTS maps! You can change the shift points for D- and S-mode, adjust the shift speeds or firmness for each shift (where available) or even adjust your car's Launch Control function! You can also share your settings on social media or import settings from other users with our import/export feature!
The Customisation module offers 2 types of functions: Absolute or relative.
Absolute functions are those where you set a fixed parameter which is then applied to each file that is flashed. For example, you could set a torque limit of 500 Nm in 1st gear. This limiter will then be applied to every map you flash, whether it is your stock calibration, an OTS map or a custom file you have created. Every map will have this limiter applied, regardless of what value was written in the base file.
Relative functions work in a slightly different way, as you can apply a delta to the flashed map. The Shiftmap Editor is one such relative function, where xHP reads the corresponding values from each flashed map and changes them according to your settings. This makes it easy to adjust complex things like shift points.
Instead of worrying about what absolute value to set for a given shift (e.g. 1-2 in D-mode) at a given throttle/rpm position, you simply apply a percentage delta to the base settings already stored in the map.
Each relative function is configured using simple sliders that allow you to set a positive or negative percentage for a given parameter. For example, if you want your 2-3 shift to occur earlier, simply set a negative value (e.g. -15%) for that shift and xHP will apply -15% to the entire map for the 2-3 shift. This always happens within certain limits and is automatically adjusted so that the actual values applied to the map still make sense. The same principle applies to all functions where you can set a positive or negative percentage in xHP.
This chapter explains each custom function available, separately for 6-speed, 7-speed E-Series, 7-speed F-Series or 8-speed gearboxes! Most functions are available for all models, but some functions may not be available for certain cars due to technical restrictions.
The Custom Module will display these functions in grey.
To see what your specific car can support, connect the app to your car and click on it. Then click on the blue 'flash' icon in the bottom right corner and then click on the gear icon.
This can be done without purchasing a licence.
Import/Export Function
You can quickly export your current custom settings by pressing the "3 white dots" in the top right corner of the Customisation module. The settings can either be saved in a small file on your phone or sent to any social media channel on your device (e.g. WhatsApp). You can also easily import settings from any other xHP user into your car in seconds.
Compatibility is limited between gearbox types. 6-speed settings can only be imported to other 6-speed cars, 8-speed to 8-speed and 7-speed to 7-speed. Some settings from 7-speed F-Series cars are not compatible with 7-speed E-Series cars and are therefore invalid, but the import will generally still work.
Please note that the customisation module has many "relative" settings. (This means that it makes little sense to import shift point settings from a 550i to a 320d. The application will still change the maps in the 320d accordingly, but these will of course not result in the same shift points as in the 550i.
