Nice but out of my price range surely.
Had my 1200 Rallye for 18 months now and I absolutely love it to bits.
Was perusing the owners manual the other evening over some delicious port and Stilton and found the little black dongle thing in the inner plastic sleeve.
Well today I fitted it to the bike and located Dynamic Pro then played with some settings on the LCD player.
Ye Gods! What a difference. The bike feels like it has probably 20 bhp everywhere in the rev range. I’m impressed.
Has anyone else tried this? Not interested in Enduro Pro as I never venture off road but was seriously going to have my bike Hilltoped but not now.
Yeah - I use the dongle all the time, no need for a snake oil tune up, it’s there under the seat ready and waiting
How can this add power and snake oil as the only thing it may do is disable the traction control and abs … pray tell , as I must be missing something .

The approved term is 'Dongle of colour'.Tricky could start a new venture, Black dongle tuning, but can he use the word black, without offending some................

Because only the master has Black, we are lower mortals and must have Red, stop being a non believer..........
Apologies guys.
I think mine maybe a little different from the standard but I’m sure it hasn’t made any real difference to the bike really.

So Doris was correct all along...............
and my pesky one stays in the topbox no need for it, it just causes problems.
My dongle is black/red and I don’t care what the doubters say, I can ‘feel’ a big difference to the performance and BMW give it away free with bike!

And you can actually see and touch it, real magic................
And, and, and .......if you use proper posh petrol i.e. 97-99 then it feels much smoother too, so I always use the poshest petrol I can find.

I tried 97 RON in my 1200. It still pinked so I didn't waste money on another tank full.

Hook, line & sinker. Tricky, you have redeemed yersen and some, I love you and want your babies

AFAIK, the dongle is nothing more than link, a switch if you like, detected by the ECU. It makes fuck all difference to power, effectively it's a software quick action throttle and also allows a bit more wheelspin before things get reined in. RTFM applies.
