Unless you are using it to record a data log the FlashPro does not have to stay connected! You tune/flash the car and then shut it off and disconnect. The Flash will overwrite the ECU and stay there so no need to keep the FlashPro hooked up, other than if your data logging. I tried an OBDII splitter to run both at the same time but they both got cranky lol.

 

Hootie, we can use "Launch Control" on our A/T's as well. I raised mine up to 4,500 rpm. All you gotta do is depress the brake, and stomp on the gas at the same time. The revs will bounce off the limiter at 4,500 rpm (as it is set on my Fit). When you a ready to go...let off the brake!
Note: I do not do this very often. I can imagine that frequent practice of this function will not do the
transmission any favors.

 

Lolol, mine is only set to 3400 and that's a bit high depending. I have stiff engine mounts too!!!

Super cool to here the A/T gets rev launch, need to see that in action

 

Really now? I've tried this a while back but couldn't get it to work... I must go re-investigate now.

 

Update: Tried upload my current calibration just with a launch control at 3k... Couldn't get it to upload for some reason. It initially started, the calibration progress screen popped up momentarily then suddenly disappeared. :/

I waited roughly 2 minutes and didn't see progress being made or hear the upload completion sound so I made sure that FPM was seeing that everything was connected/communicating and visually checked connections. Everything seemed good but the upload did not take (varied by checking readiness monitors via 20 sec CEL check).

Disconnected and reconnected everything from the USB to the OBDII connector. Restarted Flash Pro Manager and got NOTHING from the ECU... It even didn't recognize that my FP registration nor recognize it was hooked up to my GD3 (the only car its been hooked up to). I'm going to tinker with some things and see if I can sort this out.

 

aw. sad i didnt get to try this =[

 

Update #2: Got the launch control to work. For some strange reason, the FP didn't want to upload while I was away from my Wifi it seems. :/

Edit: I think my torque convertor (and maybe neighbors) is gonna hate me... Current have LC set to 2k with a 1950 recover. May either lower it to 1.2k and/or have the recover window set within 10 to 25 RPMs of the LC setting.

Thanks for confirming macbuddy!

 

Oh, good! You had me worried for a bit!
