Universal programmer New Genius from manufacturer Dimsport Srl is designed for chip tuning of various vehicles, such as motorcycles, trucks, agricultural machinery, water transport, and light commercial vehicles through the diagnostic connector or direct connection to control units on the bench.
The New Genius device is not sold separately without the purchase of Master or Slave licenses (if you need equipment for other workshops).
The purchased licenses include a subscription to protocol updates, software updates, and technical support for one year. To continue using the subscription, it is necessary to renew it for an annual fee.
The equipment is sold with two types of licenses (licenses are divided into different types of vehicles):
- Master - the main type of license for working with the programmer
- Slave - the license allows you to work on multiple services without purchasing the more expensive Master version (the license does not work without the main New Genius Master device)
The New Genius equipment is designed as a standalone scanner with a touch color display that does not require connection to a personal computer. One of the main features is its unique proprietary operating system, which supports work via K/L-line (KWP) and CAN bus, as well as via the J1850 protocol with a wide range of American, European, and Asian brand vehicles.
The New Genius programmer supports working with?12 and?24 volt electronic control units of vehicles.
The built-in software has a user-friendly interface with reference information, where you can find step-by-step instructions for connecting to different ECUs, various types of tips, for example, when to turn on or off the ignition. This makes the device and software accessible to beginner users.
The list of supported vehicles can be viewed here.

- New Genius programmer
- Power supply kit with international standard connectors
- USB cable for connecting to PC/laptop
- Cable for connecting to OBD2 connector
- Universal pin-to-pin connection cable
- Cable with clamps
- Touch pen

Important:
This function is available only on certain BMW engines and is NOT applicable to other vehicle brands.
The information below applies only to stock engines with factory ECU software and a standard exhaust system.
What This Parameter Actually Represents
This is NOT a direct measurement of fuel octane and is NOT a direct octane reading calculated by the ECU.
The value is an adaptation factor ranging from 0 to 1, where:
- 0 = no correction
- 1 = maximum correction
According to BMW’s internal definition:
Faktor adaptierte Kraftstoffqualität (0 = ROZ98 / 1.0 = ROZ91)
- 0 corresponds to 98 ROZ
- 1.0 corresponds to 91 ROZ
ROZ is the German equivalent of RON (Research Octane Number).
The device converts this multiplier into a more intuitive octane value for user convenience.
⚠️ The device does not measure anything itself.
It only displays the data provided by the engine control unit (ECU).
How the ECU Evaluates Fuel Quality
Each ECU has different calibration sensitivity:
- Sensitivity to the adaptation factor
- Sensitivity of the knock control system
Fuel quality is evaluated subjectively by the ECU, primarily based on:
- Knock ignition timing corrections
- Overall engine noise levels
BMW G-Series & LCI F-Series (B-Engines)
B38 / N63 / S63 / N74
These engines are highly sensitive to octane adaptation.
- During warm-up and cruising, the displayed octane may frequently drop to 95 or lower.
- This does NOT automatically indicate poor fuel quality.
- Under load, the value should increase.
⚠️ If the value continues to decrease under load, this may indicate a problem.
B46 / B48 / B58
These engines have low sensitivity.
- During cruising, octane will typically display maximum values even with mediocre fuel.
- Under load, the value will decrease if fuel quality is truly poor.
S58
Octane correction is virtually inactive.
- It will typically always show 98.
- If it drops below 98, fuel quality is genuinely very poor.
BMW F-Series (Pre-LCI) with N/S Engines
Most pre-LCI F-series ECUs do not calculate octane adaptation.
Do not expect this parameter to function.
S55
- Octane parameter not used by the system
- Display not supported
- However, display of the last 5 refueling quality events is supported
S63
- Octane parameter not used
- Display not supported
- Refueling quality display not supported
BMW E-Series
Octane parameter not available. Display not supported.
Important Notes About Tuned Vehicles
With modified hardware or custom tuning, behavior may vary significantly. Always consult your tuner regarding expected operation.
Key principles:
- If octane drops under load, it means fuel quality is worse than expected under those conditions.
- This does NOT automatically mean the fuel itself is bad.
Examples:
- If a tuner increases ignition timing and boost pressure, even good fuel may cause knock corrections, and the ECU may interpret it as poor fuel.
- Thin-walled or poorly mounted exhaust systems may create parasitic noise, which the ECU may interpret as engine knock, causing negative correction.
- Conversely, if knock sensitivity is reduced or octane correction is disabled in tuning, readings may appear ideal while actual engine safety is compromised.
