I am not sure if this has been covered before, but for those of us who consistently use 93 octane gas, is it possible to tweak the tune a bit more to take full advantage of the high octane stuff?

 

After I downloaded the corrected files in Jan's link above, all went as planned, my thumb drive had a corrupted setup file but the PDF was A-OK.

I will download my ECU and send files over the weekend.

I suspect Jan is very busy since he has work on the east coast.

Not sure I want him adjusting maps at midnight after a long day on the dyno and late dinner/brewskies.

Btw, installed on a Window 7 machine, so far so good.

 

Another success story!

Received the tool; downloaded the setup file from Jan's link (one on USB drive didn't work) - everything went great. I now have the stock file on my machine.

Note - I am on a 'corporate' computer running XP. I do NOT have the option of selecting 'run as administrator' - but it all still worked with the downloaded setup.exe file.

WAY looking forward to the tuned file!!!

Thanks Jan!

 

Thanks for posting the link Jan! Everything worked fine with the hosted files.

 

Thanks, Chris. I really should do the emulator anyway. 'Sides, as I'm already RMW Tuned, this is all just backup. No hurry.

 

Anyone able to answer that for me as posted previously?

Hey Jan, what are the differences for a high altitude tune versus normal?

Also, for those that have downloaded the file for Jan to tweak, how long did it take to download it from your car?

 

I didn't actually time the download; but it felt like several minutes; maybe as much as five - and I was surprised the resulting file was only 56k in size.

 

My eagle just landed!

 

Dude, you got an eagle???

That is so cool, all I got was a stupid tuning tool!


Jan, where's my eagle?




Mark

 

Is Jan offering a group buy for eagles now? I'm in!

 

Haha . Yeah it's Italian . Now I just need to pay for the tune. I tried paying through jans website but it didn't work. I'll do paypal next. No rush . OC have you used yours yet. It would help if somebody could post up instructions in a step by step . I'm just a dumb fireman I need all the help I can get.

 

Can some kind person post up jans paypal for me .

Oh thank you brother!

 

I wonder what turn around time is looking like after we pay/send Jan the tune

 

I'm waiting patiently for my tuning tool to arrive but I did follow the links and downloaded the software yesterday. I was able to open and install the application - I'll have to wait for the tool to ensure it works though. I'm running WIN XP Pro via parallels on an iMac and I haven't had any issues with USB devices not playing well with this set up so I'm hoping my luck will continue with the tuning tool. if not, I guess I'll have to pick up a netbook somewhere for it...

I've heard that the tool can only be used on one vehicle? Is it "married" to the VIN number? Or, are the tunes only good for one vehicle and the tool itself can be used to D/L the ECU of multiple vehicles?

 

I'm wondering the same thing.

 

Just got home from work and to quote from above "The Eagle has landed"... Mr. FEDEX dropped a box on my doorstep and it's my tuning tool. I'll be testing the setup on my system in the next few minutes.

 

I'm sorry, since I already have Jan's tune, I haven't even hooked it up yet.

Sorry.


Mark

 

Got the tool last night!!!!!

Haven't had a chance to hook it up but in no hurry.

Thanks Jan!!!!

PS: Don't forget about a R56 cam, hybrid turbo, and tunes to go with them!

 

If you are able to download the files that Jan posted or open the files that come on the flash drive, you should be good to go. One of the files is a PDF that's about 12 pages of step-by-step instructions. I just went through the instructions with the tool in hand and the software setup was just like installing anything else, updating the software and device was just as written in the instructions and the process in the car and then downloading and emailing the ECU file went just fine.

Feel free to PM or email me if you have questions, I'll be glad to help if I can.

Craig

 

Sign me up Jan.


Thank you.

 

The tool is only good for 1 vehicle. when you first hook up the tool to the car it will go through a protocol check and after you read out the stock ECU the tool has your VIN encoded in its memory. When you look at the info section of the software on your computer with the tool pluged into the USB port, you will see all your car info.

 

Thanks cmcveay. I don't have access to a laptop until Sunday .

 

heeheeheeheehee.
