xHP Flashtool is the worldwide first and complete Tuning solution for your ZF6HP, ZF8HP Automatic or 7-Speed DCT transmission. xHP is the only tool that focuses fully on getting the best from your Auto-Transmission and is the worldwide leading solution for the best vehicles from Bavaria! xHP put's the power to fully customize your automatic transmission at your hands. Connect your Apple iPhone, IPad or Mac M1 to your car and customize by yourself or choose from pre-defined OTS maps. The ZF Autos are used throughout the whole range, from the 1-Series hatchbacks, to the mighty Alpina and M cars! While the hardware stays widely the same throughout all applications and is mainly divided in only 2 types (6HP19/21 and 6HP26/28 for 6-Speed, 8HP45/50/51 and 8HP70/75/76 for 8-Speed), the software inside the controller makes it possible to adapt the transmission, to every vehicle and mimic a wide range of driver styles. Smooth and comfy in the Luxury applications, the same transmission can be tweaked to deliver snap-on take-off behavior, surprisingly fast shift times and even race-style throttle blips on downshifts. Tweaking your transmission is not only about getting quicker, or holding more power. An automatic transmission is deeply involved into vehicle dynamics and contributes very much to the overall driving experience. From crawling in traffic, over city driving, to taking your vehicle to the drag strip or a race track, the TCU widely defines how your car feels. Like everyone drives different with a manual, the maps inside the TCU hide the secrets to tweak your automatic transmission to your personal likings and finally experience what was once promised in the glossy brochure: Sheer driving pleasure! For a seamless start, please read the manual on needed hardware and prerequisites: https://www.xhpflashtool.com To connect to your car, you have many options: xHP Wifi Adapter (blue), Wifi Thor Adapter, MHD Wifi Adapter (black and orange) or a standard OBD INPA USB or ENET cable!

Chatbots get boring. Having to babysit an AI in a chat gets tedious. Axiom exists to introduce solutions that require less chatting/babysitting, and enables more productivity - effectively allowing the AI to infer what you need help with without you having to explicitly tell it. From taking the context of what you are currently writing in a document and generating ten sentence completions or ten 150 word paragraphs (without you needing to chat with an AI bot!), to proof reading, grading, and explaining areas where you can improve - Axiom enables a more feasible and straightforward experience with AI, and doesn't force it in your face. AI gets tiring when all you see is "chat with an AI", or install an app and it is jam packed with nothing but different AI chat features (which, by the way, are just different system prompts that they make you pay for!). Having an app that utilizes AI to ensure better productivity while mitigating chat dependence, and one that can infer based off context, ensures a more feasible experience for the user - and that is the goal Axiom aims on achieving. Free to use with usage limits. Subscriptions increase, and renew, available resources, including AI credits, upload limits, cloud storage, and more.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

xHP Flashtool holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: xHP Flashtool has 2.7K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 94% of xHP Flashtool's written reviews are positive against 100% of Orrin's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

xHP Flashtool ships an update weekly, Orrin every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and June 8, 2026 respectively.
