CustomROM V2: Enhanced Software Capabilities
Building upon the foundation of CustomROM V1, CustomROM V2 offers:
Sequential Port Fuel Injection (PI) Control: Enables precise fuel delivery strategies, including automated fuel mass-based splitting between direct and port injection systems.
Advanced Boost Control: Introduces support for a REV2-connected MAC solenoid, allowing for refined boost management, especially beneficial for aftermarket turbo setups.
DirectPWM Integration: Utilizes existing DME outputs to send PWM signals directly to the REV2 Controller, facilitating rapid and direct control of connected components like boost solenoids and fuel injectors.
Live Tuning: Allows real-time adjustments to tuning parameters without the need for reflashing, streamlining the tuning process.
Comprehensive Safety Protocols: Implements over 40 customizable safety strategies, including per-cylinder ignition and injector cutoffs, coolant over-pressure detection, and knock-based ignition timing corrections.
Custom Launch Control: Provides configurable launch settings, enabling optimized acceleration from a standstill.
Line Lock Functionality: Facilitates controlled burnouts by locking the front brakes independently, activated via steering wheel controls and brake pedal input.
Ethanol Content Display: Displays ethanol percentage directly on the vehicle's RPM gauge, offering real-time fuel composition insights.
REV2 Controller: Advanced Hardware Integration
The REV2 Controller complements CustomROM V2 by introducing hardware-level enhancements:
FlexRay Communication: Employs the high-speed, fault-tolerant FlexRay protocol for communication between the DME and REV2, ensuring reliable data transmission.
DirectPWM Outputs: Offers direct control over connected components without communication protocol overhead, enhancing response times for critical systems.
Sensor Inputs: Supports various sensors, including fuel pressure, coolant pressure, ethanol content, nitrous bottle pressure, exhaust gas temperatures, turbine speed, ride height, and methanol flow and level sensors.
Actuator Outputs: Controls up to eight high-impedance port fuel injectors, boost control solenoids, secondary fuel pumps, nitrous solenoids, methanol/water injection systems, and line lock solenoids.
Motorsport-Grade Construction: Features an IP66-rated enclosure and a Mil-Spec wiring harness, ensuring durability and reliability under demanding conditions.

bootmod3 app version 2 is Now Available!
What would the BM3 WiFi Adapter be without a brand new completely reimagined user experience? We are beyond excited to share the brand new bootmod3 v2 app with you.
Over the years we have been able to gather incredible feedback from users on how to improve and, 2 years later, we're ready to show it to you finally! We're not stopping here as there's still much more to come but here's what we've done..
Over 400 tasks have been completed during its development with primary focus on the following:
◦ App entirely rewritten/redesigned using the latest tech to enhance usability for the widest possible range of mobile and desktop/laptop devices.
◦ We've added support for close to 30 languages. Choose your native language from the Settings screen and all the app's text, buttons, will be translated!
◦ Minimize logins for easy management across multiple accounts and vehicles
◦ Auto-switch between accounts depending on vehicle connected
◦ Access all app features without internet access including offline flashing and DME re-lock
◦ Multiple dash screens and customizable gauge layout
◦ Configure dashboard look and feel, Min/Max Alerts and view them in a dedicated screen
◦ OTS Maps full re-org - now entirely managed in their own screen, organized by Stage with a simple octane selector
◦ Simplified user experience when looking at the vast selection of bootmod3 OTS Maps for each engine type
◦ Auto-download of Custom Map updates on My Maps
◦ Easy sorting and search
◦ Datalogs get charted in landscape mode with improved tap, pinch/zoom support and with channels displayed in a separate tab to the right
◦ Charts are now entirely usable even on smaller screens!
◦ Toggle channels on/off on charts easily with a search
...and many others...built with

S58 CustomROM Release
S58 CustomROM support is Now Available !
Over the past year we've worked tirelessly to build significant automation that would allow us to port our CustomROM features across software updates as they get released for vehicles we support. We applied it to the S58 and managed to add support for all 8 S58 software versions including all G8x M3/M4 and G9x X3M/X4M.
FlexFuel, AntiLag, MapSwitching, LiveAdjust Tuning, In-Dash Ethanol Content Check, and close to 5000 tuning tables available in the bm3 Map Editor.
🔸Any new OTS Maps available?
Two new MultiMap OTS maps, Stage 1 and a Stage 2. Each MultiMap contains 4 steering wheel switchable map slots. FlexFuel and Antilag are built into all of them and scale from 0 to 100% ethanol.
🔸Can I get this if my DME is currently LOCKED and requires a FEMTO Unlock?
Yes. You need to purchase a BM3 license, activate your bootmod3 software license, and then send your DME to Femto. We provided Femto with means to load BM3 CustomROM software along with our Transmission Limiter Bypass. Once you get your DME back from Femto, it'll have the BM3 CustomROM on it with their unlock.
🔸Can I get this if my DME is Femto UNLOCKED?
Unfortunately, due to specifics around the Femto unlock, you will need to have your DME resent to Femto for CustomROM software to be applied along side their unlock. Your DME would lose its Femto unlock if we allowed a full flash of the software to be done. If you were to flash the MultiMap without resending it to Femto, you will simply have MultiMap's map1 power available and no CustomROM features.
🔸Do I need to clone my DME for this?
No.
🔸Can I get this if my DME is OBD or Bench unlocked (older X3M/X4M)?
Yes, flash away.
🔸Is there an S58 Flex Fuel hardware kit?
Our S58-specific Flex Fuel kit hardware is on the way so be on the lookout! Any other flex fuel kit based on the off the shelf Zeitronix ECA2 CANBUS controller can also be used. In the meantime, you can use the LiveAdjust screen in the app to scale your ethanol content on demand.
