Frequently Asked Questions

No downtime! Remote flashing is when we program your cars ECU/DDE remotely through the OBD2 port of you vehicle without removal of the ECU/DDE. The remote flash cost includes an OBD2 cable that you can keep. If we run out of stock of the remote flash cables, you can still mail in the ECU/DME/DDE or wait until we have more cables in stock.

When you select this option we will ship you a programming cable with instructions. Once you receive the cable you will hook it up to your car with a windows 8 or 10 laptop. You will need WIFI to connect. The flashing process takes about 15 minutes with good WIFI. 

Note: Not all vehicles support remote flashing, in that case only bench flashing is available/possibly. If you're unsure whether or not we can offer remote flashing for your vehicle, please email us with your year/model/vin information so we can help determine that.

Remove the vehicle computer which is most commonly called ECU/DME/DDE and mail it in to us for flash. We will create a full back up image of your ECU whenever possible. We then upload our tune of your choice and mail the DDE/ECU back. This is the safest way, as we can have a full back up of the entire ECU content.

At checkout you will select a shipping method, this is for the return shipping back to you. Return shipping is selected at checkout. Don't forget to send our tuning form with your computer! (Tuning form can be found on the product page in the description - it is a PDF file.) This allows us to process the orders faster and more accurately.

All orders that come in Monday-Friday will be programmed, repaired, or cloned that same business day. (We are closed Saturday and Sunday.) Rarely, but sometimes we will need an extra 1-2 days to create a tune if it is a rare or older version that we haven't worked with yet.
