Recommendations

 System requirements: 

Smartphone or tablet Android version 4.4 minimum, dual Core 1.2 Ghz mini and OTG (for connection through USB).

Note:

The cheap phones or tablets with Android Go versions do not have enough memory to run TuneECU and no OTG support for using a USB cable.

You can test your phone or tablet for OTG connectivity with the app "USB Host Test" and / or the app "OTG Troubleshooter" from Google Play Store.

·      Cable USB OBD2 KKL FTDI (The cable is the same as the windows version)

·      Adapter USB/micro (cable OTG) if needed.

·      Optional: Interface Bluetooth ELM327, version 1.4 or 1.5.

Attention: For the Triumph models, which can be reprogrammed via Bluetooth, special Bluetooth adapters like the OBDLink LX or the OBDLink MX or OBDLink MX+ must be used, only these adapters allow the reprogramming of the compatible models (see Bikes list).

Remedy: Download the OBDLink app from the Google Play Store and update the firmware of the OBDLink adapter.

For the Walbro Benelli models, a special converter USB/RS232 cable and AMP Super-Seal connector (6 pin)  is required.

For Aprilia, KTM, Benelli, Husqvarna, Ducati, Moto Guzzi, Gilera & Moto Morini ECUs, in addition to the OBD2 cable or Bluetooth an OBD2 adaptor is required and is available from Lonelec (see Adaptors list).

 Tablet recommended: 

Acer Iconia One 10 B3-A40 Tablet 10.1"

Samsung Galaxy TAB A 10.5" (2018 Android 9.0)

 Read the map from the ECU 

Only with a connection through USB

Warning: Remove the headlight fuse and connect a battery charger or a 2nd battery to avoid voltage to drop during the process.

In Map Screen

Connect to the bike and do menu "ECU/Read Map"

The map name is displayed

Tips: to reduce the download time, open a similar map as you have in the ECU before the readout.

You can get this message, that means the Map is unknown for TuneECU, click "Yes", the ECU do the readout anyway

The process can take 5 to 25 min, depend of the type of ECU

The reading is complete and the map displayed in the screen, save it now

If you got the "Unknown Map" message at the beginning, the Map is not displayed but is saved in the TuneECU folder as a .bin file. Send me this file and i'll add in in the app later.

 Write a map to the ECU 

For many models only via USB, for new Triumph models only via Bluetooth. See bikes list.

Warning: Remove the headlight fuse and connect a battery charger or a 2nd battery to avoid voltage to drop during the process and the download failure.

In Map Screen

The map to download is opened and displayed in the screen.

Ignition ON but motor not running, connect to the bike (menu "ECU/Connect") Then do menu "ECU/Reprogram" and valid the 2 warning messages.

If the map is not compatible with the ECU, you will get an error message

For KTM, Husqvarna, CCM... (ECU Keihin), start the motor and let it running at idle for 15 min also (max 16min), without touching the throttle. Stop the motor after the 15 min.

For bikes with Sagem ECU select "Reset TPS" and "Run".

When done, start the motor and let it running at idle for 30 sec without touching the throttle. Stop the motor after.

For Aprilia RSV4, Tuono V4, Shiver 750/900, Caponord 1200 and Dorsoduro 750/900/1200 (ECU 7SM & 5DM) you must do a "Handle Self Learning" and after cycling the ignition OFF/ON do the "Throttle Self Learning".

Additionally for Triumph with Cruise Control System

It may be, after reprogramming the ECU, the Cruise Control System stops working and therefore needs to be reset.

For cruise control models with "accelerate/ decelerate", e.g. Tiger 800, go ahead as follows:

·    Cruise control OFF

·    Activate front brake switch

·    Activate Rear brake switch

·    Activate Clutch switch

·    Twist grip switch (throttle in the closed position)

·    Activate cruise ON/Off switch

·    Activate cruise accelerate switch

·    Activate cruise decelerate switch, if the CC light goes out the CC is resetted.

For cruise control models without "accelerate/ decelerate", Bonneville Bobber, go, go ahead as follows:

·    Key in ignition with power on

·    Kill switch on Run

·    Activate front brake switch

·    Activate rear brake switch

·    Clutch switch

·    Negative throttle switch (push the throttle forward)
