ZF8HPautomatictransmission.xHPistheonlytoolthatfocusesfullyongettingthebestfromyour

blackbox for Tuners and car enthusiastsworldwide.While the ZFunits havebeen tuned formany

years now in other vehicles, BMWapplied intense encryption and signaturemechanisms to avoid

Tuners and enthusiasts from doing so. While this is understandable from a manufacturers

perspective, itdoesnot satisfy theneedsofBMWenthusiastsworldwide.TheZF-Automaticswere

usedthroughout thewholeBMWrange fromthe1-serieshatchbacks to themightyAlpinaB5cars

putting out around 500 bhp and 700 Nm of torque. While the hardware stays widely the same

throughout all applications and is mainly divided in only a few types, the software inside the

controllermakes it possible toadapt the transmission toevery vehicle andmimicawide rangeof

driver styles. Smooth and comfy (some call it “sluggish”) in the Diesel applications, the same

2.2. Supported vehicles

xHPisdevelopedforflashingZF6HPautomatictransmissionsinBMWvehicles.Itwon’tconnectnor

operate on other vehicle brands or other automatic transmission like theGM units or BMWDKG

(double-clutch). The ZF6HP/8HP’s were BMWs automatic transmissions of choice for nearly their

completelineup,fromtheearly2000stilltoday.

However,BMWusedavarietyoftransmissioncontrollersthroughouttheseyearsandnotallofthem

are supported yet. To check if your vehicle is supported please visit www.xhpflashtool.com and

search for your car. If it is not yet supported, it does notmean, it neverwill be. Please like us at

Facebooktogeteveryupdateonsupportedvehicles,orheadtothe“Contact”chapterofthismanual

andwriteusane-mail.We’rehappytointegratevehiclesoncustomerdemand.


2.2.1 Check for support with xHP If youhaveall thehardwarealready inplace (seeChapter

2.3), you can just download xHP for free from theGoogle

PlayStoreandconnect it toyour car.After connectingon

themain screen, click the Car Symbol in the upper, right

corner. xHP will connect to our database and check for

support immediately. There are 2 stages of support.

“Flashable”will tell you, if xHP is able to flash your car in

general. “AvailableOTSTunes” tellsyou, ifwealreadygot

pre-defined Tunes for your vehicle in our database. If we

don’t have tunes ready yet, you can still build your own

tunes(seeChapter2.6).Therearelotsofcommunitieslike

spoolstreet.com, e90post.com, n54tech.com etc. where

2.3.2 USB/OTG Adapter Theseadapterscomeinvariousforms,from

shortsockets,tolongercablesforextended

use. However, all of them seem to work

reliable. During our testing phase, there

hasn’t been any error trackable to these

adapters. Just search them on Amazon or

Ebay. Thinking of vehicle situations, it’s

probably best to use one coming in short-

cable form-factor, like the one you see on

therightside.Costs:5–10USD.

2.3.3 OBD/DCAN cable (E & F-Series) xHP uses thewell-knownOBD/DCAN cables to connect to your TCU. (whether it’s E or F-

Series)Thesecablesareusuallymarkedas“INPAcompatible”,whichreferstotheBMWOEM

4.4. Reading/deleting fault codes

Through the bottom bar you can access the fault code

section of xHP. xHPwill read out all fault codes from the

TCUanddisplay it conveniently in a tabbed-styled view. If

applicable youwill be able to clean fault codes or recode

yourTCU(thisonlyappliesifabackupfromyourvehicleis

already stored on the device). Additionally, you can copy

thedisplayedfaultcodestotheclipboard..

Note: xHP will currently not read fault codes from other

unitsinyourcar.Thisisplannedforalaterrelease.

MapDetailScreen

Clicking a map brings you to the Map detail screen,

where youwill see a detailed description of themap, a

feature list and the changelogof theOTSMap. xHPwill

automatically download new versions of your bought

4.5.1 Flash OTS Map

xHP will flash the calibration section of your

Transmission controller with the chosen

calibration file. xHPwill calculate anddisplay the

remaining time during thewhole procedure. The

flash process is designed to be failsafe and will

automatically correct small errors or error prone

connections, to a certain degree. However, if a

flashfails,youcanjuststartover.xHPisdesigned

tokeepyourTransmissioncontrollersafeinevery

the CIC, during the flash process, as this is

perfectly normal. All errors will be cleared after

the flash procedure has finished.When the flash

has finished, the App prompts you, to switch off

yourIgnitionandletyourcarsitforafewseconds.

For an error-free flash procedure and to put as

little load as necessary on your battery, please pay attention to Chapter 3 before flashing

yourvehicle!

5. Flash Sett ings/Custom. Module 6-Speed

Starting from App Version 1.3.2, xHP features a “Customization Module”, which allows users to

change certain settings before flashing an OTS or Custom -Map. TheModule injects those user-

defined values intoeveryMapbefore flash.Usage is simple: Just do your settings, save themand

flashanymaptoapplythem.NOTE:Youmustflashyourvehicleafterchangingsettings.Justbeing

connectedtothecarisnotenough.YoucanaccesstheModulethroughthe“FlashSettings”button

atthebottomoftheMap-FlashScreen.Pleasenote,thattheModuleisnotavailableforallvehicles

and/orengine/transmissioncombinations.

5.1. Custom Launch Control 6-Speed

Launch Control on 6-Speed cars is done through restricting the maximum torque allowed during

brake boosting and in 1stGear. For normal RWD cars use 350 ftlb/450Nmas a starting point.On

mostAWDcarscontrollingtorqueisnotnecessaryatall,astheyhavemorethanenoughtraction.If

youhave traction issues in theupper gears aswell, use the "TQ Limit perGear"panel tomanage

them.

separatelyforD,SandMmode.“Kickdown”referstotheKickdown-Switchattheendofthethrottle

travel,driversrecognizeassmallthresholdinthepedal.

5.3. Kickdown

5.5. Stay in 2nd Gear in M-Mode

Let’s you chosewhether the transmission shifts down to 1st or 2nd gear at standstill. (inM-Mode)

(Note:Onlyavailablefor6-Speed)

5.6. Throttle Bl ips

Throttle Blips are used to rev-match the engine on downshifts. This function lets you setup the

aggressiveness of downshift blips inmanualmode. Themain goal of rev-matching is to speed up

downshiftsbyactivelymatchingtheEngine-RPMtotheTarget-RPMintheTarget-Gear.Thisisdone,

byapplyingashortbliptothethrottleduringthetransitionphasebetween2gears.Userscanalter

theintensityofthisblip,by+-50%,comparedtothesettinginanyoftheOTSMapsorCustomMap

used. Higher values will lead to more audible and faster blips but can get uncomfortable. Lower

valueswillleadtoaslowerbutsmootherrev-match.Pleasenote,thatthisfunctiondoesnotsupport

all vehicles/maps.Generally supportedare Stage3MapsandN54/N55vehicles, aswell as all cars

with8-SpeedTransmission.


5.7. Shiftpoint Editor

The Shiftpoint – Editor enables you to change all

shiftpoints in D and Smode to your personal likings. A

Shift-Map consists of 10 lines, which are spread over

throttle input. Five for upshifting (1-2-3-4-5-6) and five

for downshifting. (6-5-4-3-2-1) Up- and downshifts can

be independently configured. The setting made in the

editorarealwaysrelativetotheflashedmap.Youdonot

set exact shiftpoints, but rather are able to change the

shifting of a given OTS or custom map! The spread is

from+50%to-50%foreachshift.Forexample,ifyour5-

6shifton lowloadsnormallyoccursat50mph,butyou

wantitnottohappenbefore55mph,pullthe5->6slider

to + 10%. Same goes for the downshifts. If your trans

normally downshifts on 40 mph from 6->5 during

coasting, but youwant that to happen at 50mph, pull

thesliderfor6->5upto+25%.

Be sure to make sensible changes. If you alter the 1-2 shift upwards, you should do the same

gradually to the subsequent shifts, to get a “natural” shift-feel during driving. Rule of thumb is to

makebiggerchangesonthelowergears,andsmallerchangesontheuppergears.However,youare

free to experimentwith these settings. xHP pre-calculates and validates all changes against every

OTSMap stored on the device. A fixed ruleset gets applied to auto-correct "wrong" settings and

preventdead-locks.Suchadead-lockcouldhappenifyour2-3upshift-pointwouldbesetbelowthe

3-2 downshift-point, or if an upshift would lead to a target RPM below idle-speed of the engine.

Below is an example how to turn the standard Stage-3 Map of a 335i in D-Mode into a very

comfortablyandlowshiftingMap:


UPSHIFTS:

• 1->2:-20%

engine setup, as every aftermarket component or tune slighty alters the behavior of the engine

during shifts. Tuned cars with big turbos may need general less reduction, than ones with stock

turbos. If you experience a bit of "lag" on a certain shift, you can also try to lower the torque
