We regularly get asked, "How can I have multiple tunes with PCMTEC?" or how can I remotely tune a vehicle without the customer seeing seeing the tune?
There are several ways you can have multiple tunes with PCMTEC. The first question is what is the goal?
- High/Low boost?
- E85/98 Tune?
- Ghost cam tune?
- Need to be able to remotely tune a customer and you still want to lock the tunes so they can't be read out?
Depending on which of these you answered there are several options available.
Firstly if you would like 1 of the items below this can be achieved via wiring a switch into the cabin and utilizing our Custom Operating System. Or utilizing the MFT (Multi Flash Tune) via the cruise control buttons.
- High/Low boost or variable boost toggle.
- E85/98 octane dual maps.
- LPG/98 dual maps
- Ghost cam on/off
Now, if the above options do not give you the flexibility you require you can utilize our "Flash and Log" Edition which will run standalone on a Windows Laptop or Tablet.
The Flash Only package can be unlocked via any of the workshops listed on our website.
The cost of the Flash Only Editon is free of charge, you can create as many tunes/files as you'd like once the user is unlocked, these can be done remotely and then emailed to the customer. You then need to supply a Windows-based tablet or laptop and a J2534 cable. These cables vary in price depending on which model you go for. Typically they are around the $120 mark upwards.
Flash and log User Guide
This guide is for the workshop that will be creating multiple tunes for their customer. This requires that you have at least one read of the vehicle required. Once you have a read of the vehicle you will be tuning and have licensed it you need to unlock the customer.
This requires that the customer has registered on the website, you can do this on their behalf. Once they have registered on the website you must unlock the customer. This only needs to be done once, eg if another workshop has already unlocked the customer, you do not need to do it again.
Once you unlock a customer, their username will be tied to the serial number of the vehicle, if you wish to provide a tune for a different vehicle (or customer) you will need to unlock a new user.
To unlock a user follow these steps:
First, the customer (to be unlocked) must register on our website and activate their account (reply to the automatic email).
Then, the workshop needs to license the file they wish to use. Then press File -> "Save Customer Flash-Only File". Save the file in the desired path. Note, this file will only be able to be edited by yourself. If anyone else attempts to license the file they will be told it is locked. If another workshop or customer attempts to read the file out of the vehicle they will also be told it has been locked. If a customer has a locked tune (that you didn't supply) you can still overwrite it with a stock file.
Then enter the username (email address) of the customer who has registered on the website.
\
To unlock a Flash Only User is free of charge. If the user has already been unlocked, this popup will be skipped.
Now send the locked file to the Flash Only customer.
The customer will need to install the Flash Only Editon from our website and log in with the same account that you used to unlock the file with.
Once they have installed this package they must log in (same as the normal editor login). This package is a cut-down version of the editor that allows flashing locked files only.
If you have successfully unlocked the user you will see "Product: FLASH_ONLY" in the log. If not you will see "Product: FREE".
They can then write the vehicle by pressing "Write Flash".
The Flash and Log user can also read files and send them to you.
The Flash and Log Edition has also been designed to work on small screens such as a tablet.
