1.Introduction:
which are built into some motorcycle models with Electronic Fuel injection.
Compatible
models, see HERE
Important!! Also note the footnote in this list.
Suitable Custom maps for reprogramming can be found
HERE
Suitable OEM maps for reprogramming can only be used
can be downloaded using the TuneECU app.
OEM maps can be downloaded directly from the opened TuneECU app also (select the menu "map" -- "open" --"download") and saved on the Android device and edited also.
Info:
For a few years now, Triumph hasn't changed its map names on updates, only the revision level is added.
To
always use a map that has the current revision level, download the map
directly from the app via the menu: "Map---open---download" from the
server of the TuneECU developer's. You can display the revision status from the map, in the map information after the download.
1.1 System requirements:
- Smartphone or Tablet Android version 4.4 minimum,
dual
Core 1.2 Ghz mini and OTG.
RAM absolute minimum 2 GB RAM, best and most stable, works TuneECU with at least 3 - 4 GB RAM.
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.
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.
. - Cable USB OBD2 KKL FTDI (The cable is the same as
the
windows version)
Info: FTDI chips which have been proven to work if the cable is of good quality:- Chip type: FT232R, Vendor ID: 0x0403, Product ID: 0x6001
- Chip type: FT232 / 245BM, Vendor ID: 0x0403, Product ID: 0x6001
- And from TuneBoy the USB cable with Chip Type: FT232R, Vendor ID: 0x0403, Product ID: 0xBF40
- FTDI chips with Vendor ID 1027 also fit.
- Adapter USB/micro (cable OTG) if needed.
- Optional: Interface Bluetooth, but only those recommended by the developer..
Attention:
For the Triumph models, which can be reprogrammed via Bluetooth only, special Bluetooth-adapters
like the "OBDLink LX" or the "OBDLink MX" or MX+ or "UniCarScan UCSI-2100" have to be used,
only these adapters allow the reprogramming. (see Bike List).
. - For the Walbro
Benelli models, a special
converter cable and AMP Super-Seal connector (6 pin)
is still required, see here. - For Aprilia, various Triumph Euro 5 models from 2023 onwards, KTM, Benelli, Husqvarna,
Ducati, Moto Guzzi, Gilera & Moto Morini ECUs, other components are required in addition to
the OBD-2 cable and the OTG adapter, components checked with TuneECU are available from Lonelec.
WARNING: Avoid the cheap adapters on online platforms, there's a lot of bad chinese clones that don't
work or not properly with TuneECU and specific protocols use by bikes supported.
Some bluetooth adapters recommended, see the list below:
Devices tested:
This is
not an
exhaustive list. |
Adapters Bluetooth tested
The following Bluetooth adapters are required for models that can be remapped via Bluetooth, see Basics. Other adapters are not suitable for remapping. If problems occur with one of the OBDLink Bluetooth adapters, it can be reset to the FACTORY SETTINGS. 1.Press and hold the connect button for 15 seconds. 2.When factory defaults are restored, the green Power LED will blink and then turn solid.
Both the above and the following adapters are suitable for diagnosis & maintenance. See Bikes List.
BAFX have posted warnings on their website about copies of their products.
This is not an
exhaustive list. |
Note: We can not know all the devices on the market or future devices.
We can make a reliable statement only about the devices, that we have tested ourselves.
Of course, since we are private people, we can not constantly buy and test devices from all manufacturers.
