Default Re: So you say you want to flash your ecu at home huh?

Ok, here we go.

I've been using a piece of hardware to flash some of the older cars for quite some time now and on occasion a Crossfire or C-class if necessary.

First let me explain some background info. There are two types of tuning hardware, slave and master units. Slaves can only read master files and thus force you to stick with one specific tuner. Slave/Master units are also extremely expensive.

Of course it wasn't always like that. Back when ECU tuning was more a hobby then a business several Master only units were released. What this means is that it will openly download and upload any file into the ECU, giving you infinite choices for file suppliers.

So what does this mean for you? Well we've acquired a substantial amount of these cables and the necessary software for it to work. Basically you install the software on your laptop, plug the cable into your car and DL the file, you then email us the file, we tune and send you back a new file. Now you have two files to pick from: stock and tuned.

So say you're going to the track and want to try out different pulley combos, purchase tunes for each pulley combo and you can flash at the track. Writing the file takes about 10-15 mins and is extremely straight forward.

This is the closest we can get right now to a hand held tuner, and I think for the price it is an extremely good option.

So PM me or email me at let me know if you are interested and we'll get it shipped out to you as soon as we finalize everything.

Of course, for the non-computer savvy people I will walk you through your first download and upload over the phone. My tuner from Germany did it for me and it made everything much less stressful.

Well there you go another break through for these cars!
