Only downside is the iOS app is 🏋️so unreliable! It doesn't want to connect, especially whilst driving 🚗

I’ll let Germany know.
I will see them at SEMA and possibly December when I visit their HQ.

Is the German calibration and the USA calibration the same?

Ok, I have some questions if you don't mind answering them?

Is your car a 6mt or auto? And when you say the "wheel spin is crazy" does it get any more controllable when the tires are warmed up? Are you only using the highest race settings on the tuning chip? Having crazy wheel spin is my biggest fear in getting a tune as I'd rather stay stock then deal with a bunch of unusable extra power.

I had this issue too recently, mine just completely stopped connecting. I had to delete it from “my devices” in the Bluetooth settings then reinstall it as if it were brand new and got it to work again.

Yes, I learned a trick yesterday!
Turn off the wifi and the Bluetooth picks up Racechip module instantly. I think Apple carplay is causing the issue.

I also wonder if I can set it on ECO mode on the app (map 3 or 4) when I'm doing long distance driving for more fuel efficiency. I don't think any point in driving on Map 6 or 7 on freeway cruising.

You can.
I got a customer that set Eco to 5, Sport to 6, and Race to 7.

Yea, you will face that time to time, such as; when Android or iOS have an update and when RaceChip’s App have an update.

In some cases they are different maps due to 91 Octane.
Hence they asked me to confirm their maps with California 91 Octane to make sure they are fine or need tweaking.
Also, with EU6 regulation on OPF, sometime their map is weaker than ours.
