Doesn't the JB4 auto clear codes? If not go to autozone and have them clear the codes or get the icarly app and the adaptor.
If the drivetrain malfunction is still happening I don't think that person who installed it was a "professional"

Been doing some research and it is suggested to clean the MAF sensor. |

Also a badly wired JB4 that is giving those kinds of errors is an opportunity installation problem. I would pull it if the problem is indecipherable until its properly hooked up. You wouldn't want additional electrical problems due to a bad install.

I don't think he has JB4, his original post says Stage 2 which isn't JB4 and doesn't have CANbus access. So he has to manually clear the code, I don't think they wired your tune correctly. If you're DTM comes on right when turning the vehicle on, it's not installed properly or the tune is faulty. If the tune isn't installed properly, I hope they numbered the wires or else you'll need to take the vehicle to BMW or pull up the wiring diagram yourself with ISTA and make sure the wires go back to the right pins.

Bummer, the installer should be responsible. Why would they accept a job they weren't capable of without disclosing the risk?

That's a good point. Max install time is one hour and that's if you've never done it before.

What a headache. With the old Stage2 if you install the TMAP connectors only and NEVER touch the DME wires (just tuck them out of the way) it still works like Stage1.

Did they give you an invoice for the work? Have another shop estimate the install time and then take them to small claims. That's no joke robbery.
