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).

 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

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:

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)

Table can be modified in graphic mode, select the rpm row and then the TPS columns to modify or select the TPS value and the rpm columns.

 Copy a table to another map  (with app version 5.7)

The map to be modified is already open in the app in cell mode.

Open the map/table to be copied in comparison mode.

When the 2nd map is open, hold your finger down on the table, you can see the table of the 2nd map and the values that are different in colour.
