There are a couple units available that can flash through the port yet they are for Tuners etc and not for the end user. We allow the customer or end user to flash back and forth without any tuning knowledge. Softronic already provides tunes that go more in depth then the standard accessible files in these units. These also only pull the 128K map section while we will pull the entire 1 meg. All cables , software and and tuning is provided as part of the standard price.

We can also do the same to the DFI cars . These though are 2 meg files.

Thanks for the reply but I wanted to hear from Vivid or Softronics in simple terms: Is the software is 100% undetectable by any means whatsoever once the original file is rewritten?

The claims and responses are a bit confusing. I have always believed that once you modify your ECU, you put your warranty in jeopardy. Please correct me if I am misinformed.

 

If you go to the dealer with the tuned file on your car and they connect the PIWIS, they will see an alteration. If you use the Softronic Flash Cable/Client and put your true vin coded original file back in the car and go to the dealer, it is NOT DETECTABLE.

 

Here are some screen shots of the new Version 3.0 during the reading process in which your file is read out and sent to the Softronic servers.

 

sorry, could not resist

 

I dont get it? If it is not something directly related to Softronic, lets try to keep it out.

 

I believe the above post to be an attempt of humor that what happens if the computer crashes during programming. This would be a ruined DME if you had your car at any Porsche Dealer or other facilities. Then again you could be hit by lightning while programming. The good news is that Softronic's software is made so that it will recover and start at the point the software was stopped.

Exactly, everyone lighten up . Those who have tried to install a Creative Labs X-Fi under Vista 64 will get it.

It probably brought up a solid concern though which Scott addressed, you allow customers to use their own laptops and its a total possibility.

 

Hello,

No worries as it was a good sort of question .

P.S. we are 64 and 32 bit compatible.


Thanks,
Scott

 

I have personally goofed a ECU because of a screensaver coming on...

 

Dan, another question. I believe you stated the softronic tune turns off the O2 sensor and CEL, if I read correctly please explain why and could this cause any problems. If I read incorrectly please let me know. Thanks.

 

Hello,

Softronic does not turn off the O2 sensors or CEL. The parameters have been changed for the O2 sensors along with many more to the maps.


Best,
Scott

 

Thanks. I eagerly await it's release. I know someone out there has a tiptronic ecu tune and I wonder since you guys have the ablility to do port mapping now, do you think the transmission tune could be done this way as well.

 

Normally the Tip control unit is not programmable via the port as the architecture is not there for it. Some changes can be done yet they are basic resetting etc of the unit. Softronic is working on some programming though for these units, perhaps in a different fashion .

I saw someone replied about "turning off" the 02 sensors so you do not have a check engine light. The 02 is not turned off, rather the limits are raised.
