Any MINI R53 users?

[LXM]

I have one for my MINI project call "Project Kobalt" for MC2 magazine. I am curious to see if there are any users to get feedback. I am also the founder of "The League of Extraordinary Miniacs" Facebook group with 20k members worldwide and spread among 28 chapters as well as the main group with 16k+ members. https://www.facebook.com/groups/LXMINIacs/

We are a user of Mini cooper S R53

We are using Mini in track days, and of course, engine is controlled by EMU.

Hi,

do you have any pictures of the EMU fited in the car ?
I'm currently instaling one on my R53, but not very happy with my fitment

Where do you have yours fitted?

I mounted mine right next to the factory ecu location, and installed the CAN-BUS adapter inside the ecu box that I cut apart from the factory airbox.

My adapter board is in the stock ecu location and the standalone is on top of the fusebox on a custom bracket. Any ideas how to turn off the tyre pressure warning light and also the traction control light?

[slo_crx1]

I don't think it's possible to turn them off just yet. The traction control switch would normally control the light on/off, so I would assume it would require additional code change to "switch" a traction map on and off like the oem ecu did. The pressure warning I thought was originally through a different module, but apparently not. Maybe a future update can address them, or figure some sort of CAN output to at least turn the lights off.

This would be very useful in the UK as I don't believe cars will pass annual inspection with the lights illuinated

When we have access to stock Mini R53, we will try to reverse CAN to light off TCS and Tire Pressure

I have the bluetooth module. Do you have any recommendations for the best location to tap into the CAN-BUS wiring? Am I right in thinking I won't need to use a 120ohm resistor if I don't create a new node?
Edit.....no resistor required
