Hi,
I bought a 123 this summer, the Bluetooth version.
I love its simplicity, and the lock-start function is a great bonus.
Just got the new version of the app for iPhone - early november 2017. It's looking better for sure.
Now it would be great to make the app better, not just look better. Since I don't know how to contact 123 directly - their website won't allow that - I decided to do it here. Some other users might read this and want to add their requests. Feel free. And hopefully, our friends at 123ignitionshop.com will forward our feedback to the programmers!
What I think is important to see in a next update:
- The possibility to save at least a second ignition curve. It's frustrating to create a new one and then realize that it's not as good as the previous one. I don't need to be able to change map whilst driving (I understand the potential danger of doing so over wireless, even though the PC version of the 123 can do that).
- The possibility to prepare curves offline. My VW is in the garage underground, with no internet. And it's pretty cold out there. So I'd love to be able to prepare a ignition curve in the confort of my home, then go to the van and apply it.
What I think is less important but would be nice to have:
- The possibility to add an extra point on the fly, whilst driving.
- The possibility to turn off the vacuum whist driving, to do tuning tests and advanced mods.
What looks like a bug but I might be wrong:
- When I go in "Tune Mode" on the road, it looks like adding or removing advance switches off the vacuum advance. I might be wrong, it's from memory. If it's a case, it would be nice to be able to NOT have that. As it messes up the behavior of the engine in a deeper way than just a + or - degree.
Feel free to add to this list, and hopefully a next update will bring the Bluetooth version from great to amazing!
I have just bought the 123 Bluetooth and I am hoping that it is the best choice. I cannot find the app to download as its not listed under 123Tune or similar. Presumably it already comes with pre programmed curves available ?
I just installed the bluetooth version and have started to set up the vacuum advance (this is on a 75 BMW 2002). I figured out how to save the settings for the vacuum MAP, my concern is that I am not seeing the advance added on to my base settings when I am within the vacuum range I have set up. Should this be showing up? If not, is that something that can be updated on the app? I would also say that the units of measurement on the vacuum gauge on the dashboard should be set to match the units of measurement on the MAP curve. It looks like the curve is set in KPA, the gauge is showing inHG or Bar.
I can work with whatever the unit of measurement is if I can confirm that the additional advance from the vacuum setting is actually being added to the base advance settings.
