Adapter Details
Are there any starting calibrations?
There are starting calibrations for the:
- 3.2 TL with 270 cc inj & SRI.
- 3.2 TL with 270 cc inj, intake, test pipes, throttle body, manifold & Type S cams
Why are there two adapter options for the 06 TL?
The 06 TL with Navi and TPMS has a fully populated CAN bus connector and needs an alternative method of connecting the CAN wiring. (see instructions) An 06 without Navi needs just the $50 CAN adapter.
Do I need to cut any wires?
No. Everything is plug and play. In essence you are upgrading the wiring of your car to make it similar to later models.
You support the AT ECU. So this means I can use it with my AT TL or Accord?
No. Used MT computers are rare. FlashPro Manager 1.6.3 or newer can install the MT code into the AT ECU. This means you can take advantage of the numerous used 07 AT TL ECUs available for tuning your MT V6.
How do I get cruise control work?
Modifying the 2007 Acura TL Base Auto computer to enable cruise Cruise control takes less than 20 minutes with a fine tipped soldering iron We recommend using a binocular microscope as the parts are very small. One component needs removal and one jumper wire is added. Details are at the end of the install instructions.
Why wont this work for the automatic V6 then?
The 07-08 AT TL ECU expects a 4 solenoid automatic transmission. The 04-06 TL and 03-07 Accord AT uses a three solenoid transmission.
Can I use an 08 AT TL ECU with my MT?
No. That ECU is not supported for overwriting with a MT program.
If I sell my car can I return it to stock?
Yes. The $50 CAN adapter cable is pretty difficult to remove, so we recommend you leave it in place. All the Honda diagnostic tools will continue to work with the cable in place or removed. You will need to resynchronize the stock ECU with your immobilizer.
Videos
We've put together a series of training videos to describe the function and use of the FlashPro. View the videos in High Definition Full Screen to view the screen shots.
FlashPro Introduction
Hondata's new generation programming tool for the 06 - 09 US Civic Si, the Japanese 06-09 Civic Type R and the European 07-09 Civic Type R. A brief introduction.
FlashPro getting started
This video covers the installation the FlashPro Manager software, the USB drivers, software registration and upload of a calibration.
Live Tuning
One of the latest features added to FlashPro, live tuning gives you the ability to tune your Honda or Acura on the fly without switching off the engine. Live tuning simplifies part throttle tuning and significantly reduces the time and cost of tuning your car.
Race Calibration
Hondata has developed a Race calibration which allows you to tune with the MAP sensor and bypass the limitations of the AFM sensor. A look at the tuning principles for forced induction on a modern return-less fuel system.
Datalogging and Air fuel ratios
A look a the extensive datalogging capabilities of the FlashPro and the many ways in which to examine your engine data. We touch on the datalogging of the air fuel ratios and how you can use it to adjust your tuning.
Bluetooh
How do I tell if my FlashPro supports Bluetooth?
From July 2013 some FlashPros shipped from Hondata including Bluetooth.
From Jan 1 2014, all FlashPros shipped from Hondata include Bluetooth.
FlashPros sold before the dates in the table below do not support Bluetooth. To confirm if your FlashPro supports Bluetooth follow this procedure:
- Launch FlashPro Manager
- Plug in the FlashPro to your USB port.
- Press the FlashPro button, tab, then hardware.
- If Bluetooth is present, Yes will be indicated.
- If you do not see 'Bluetooth present' at all, then you are using an older version of FlashProManager and need to update. This does not mean that you don't have a FlashPro with a Bluetooth radio.
- If 'Bluetooth present' is No, your FlashPro does not have Bluetooth. You may upgrade your FlashPro is you wish.
