B58 Bench Flash

I hope that this is not too far away from being released. But does anyone know any information about release date? I know it is not an easy thing to do at all and people have been probably working on this for over a year. But any information would be helpful.

There is a bench flash by vr tuned, but I can't find any feedback on it.

I went on their website and did not see it on the site. Are they just working on it or is it released?

I thought they offered a piggyback product, not a bench flash.

From a few inside people in the industry I've talked to, no one has actually decrypted the ecu yet...so we can't write to it yet. I'm working with a few people on the next few weeks, opening the ecu and sending some pics of the board to a few contacts in Europe and Israel who provide flash information to many of the big tuners. We'll see if we get somewhere.

NO flash available yet for the B58 but its being worked on. The fuel hard cap removal or workaround will make this car wicked.

He's working with protuning freaks to unlock it so we can use bootmod3. I've already seen the inside of the DME.

This reminds me of the N52 forum days. We waited for someone to come up with a reliable turbo kit which never happened.

Took 18 months for Bootmod3 to finally come out, took 2-3yrs for Fxx ECU to finally get cracked and until this day there's still improvement

So what your implying is we should be ready to wait another year or so before B58 flash is available?
