VersaTuner Black Friday Sale 2014

[Steve@VersaTune]

I use a HP stream 7 in the car. It is good for flashing and logging. It's not fun to edit tunes on a 7 inch touch screen. We are working on optimizing the ui for tablets.

I'll post some screen shots.

My plans for my personal car would be to use torque for live data monitoring and flashing and logging with Versatune if I convert.

To boil it down to the nitty gritty, if we can all be sure the software and maps perform without any glitches or bugs, the constant monitoring will be just peace of mind for the driver.

I saw on ebay you can get a dual boot windows/android for around $100.

I would just use Dashhawk in my vehicle since I already own one, but I would assume most people can use Torque and be fine.

Doesn't torque misread the boost?

You can input a custom variable for it to read correctly.

This is how it looks on my HP Stream 7" with Win 10

Datalogging and parameters to the left


Datalogging with all optional windows closed giving the datalogging window maximum space


Graphing of all 12 logged parameters


Graphing of RPM and Boost on a 2-3-4 gear log


Tune editor with E85 Calc, Tables window is in "Dockable" mode by default. You can also choose "Floating" "Tabbed Document" "Auto Hide" "Hide"


Tune editor with Auto Hide activated on the Tables window.



Here's a bug that I'll see from time to time, tunes window freezes so tunes are not accessible. Fixes itself by restarting VT. Will be fixed with next update?



Overall VT works really well on a tablet and PC/laptop

[NCspecV81]

is it real time or just shows min/max?

[SpeedRebirth]

Real time updates yes. The current value is diplayed where the - is in front of psi, g/s ect
Min max can be reset at any time even during logging

Edit: found a pic of how it looks

[torquemaniac]

@Steve@VersaTune; , how is the battery life on the HP Stream 7?

I need a new laptop/tablet and the HP Stream looks like a good deal, but I heard bad review on the battery charge being very short...

[Steve@VersaTune]

I don't leave it on. I just use it to flash tunes when I switch e85 mix and occasional logs.

Ideally, you want a device with a full size USB for the J2534 and a micro usb for charging. That way you can charge at full current while you use it. There are micro usb adapters that allow low current charging while using the micro usb port for data.

WOW...that was a fast answer

Thanks

And while I have your attention, when are we gonna get some launch control for the CX-7

[jdmage_mx5]

I'm ordering VersaTuner in the next or so. I just got the torque app loaded and running for day to day monitoring/logging and will keep my Lenovo Yoga Pro 3 available for flashing and official logging I guess.

[SpeedRebirth]

This is the one I have (Dell Micro USB Dongle 470-ABES). It needs to be a OTG adapter to work.
If you want to charge at the same time you can connect the charger to the micro usb port on the adapter in the picture.

[NCspecV81]

Okay since my car is down I may just purchase Versatune. We got 10 yet?

Ha I bought a yoga 2 tablet 10.1 just for that purchase.

[xfeejayx]

Just sent @Steve@VersaTune; an e-mail with some questions.

Pending his answers, I'm in.

Replied to your email.

[xfeejayx]

I sent him questions that I now realize he has no real good way to answer. He took the time to respond to not so smart questions, from someone that isn't a customer (yet), and he did it about an hour after I asked. That, @phate; liking it, and SWAS disable = Sold.

Put me on the list.

[Speed_j23]

So Black Friday is right around the corner. Just wondering if you guys have decided whether or not you're having the sale again. I called a couple weeks ago and the decision hadn't been made yet.

[Steve@VersaTune]

I talked to Santa, and he said that you are all on the nice list

Stay tuned. Good stuff is coming very very soon.

[Enki]

yissssss

[aviator79]

The only thing that sucks is when you total your vehicle your versatune goes POOF whereas an AP can be sold. But clearly there are many advantages to VT over AP especially as it was only thing that worked on CX7.

[Enki]

I'm sure the guys at VT would allow for that kind of situation (transfer of vin with proof of total).

They do allow you to change ownership if you sell the car (VT stays with the car, but owners change).

We have actually had situations like these and we always transfer the VT license to the new car if the owner replaces the totalled car with another one supported by VersaTuner and can provide proof of the accident.

If I make a speed6 transmission swap in my CX-7 and change for a speed6 ECU, can the VT license be changed, or I need to buy a new one?

[jdmage_mx5]

Just curious, why would the transmission change need the ecu change also?

[Enki]

It doesn't; you can change the gear ratios in VT so far as I know (you can in genwon/genpu at least)

[torquemaniac]

Its been a while since I researched the subject of automatic to manual trans swap, so I am not 100% sure this is really an issue, but something tells me it is

The ECU and TCM work in tandem to control torque delivery, and some communication must be necessary to do so

Attached is a table taken from a paper on the Aisin 6 speed automatic trans that showns the parameters that are being communicated between the ECU and TCM

The CX-7 worshop manual also state that the car will go into fail-safe mode if there is ''malfunction of electronic parts of output and input system'' and ''short or open circuit in ATX wiring harness''

[jdmage_mx5]

Yea I blew through the point you were in a CX-7. Sorry for my lack of reading.

[Steve@VersaTune]

The VIN would stay the same, so we would work with you to transfer the license. You will have to write the CX-7 VIN to the MS6 ECU and resync all the modules - immobilizer, AKE, ICM, etc. You'll need IDS and a PATS code subscription. You'll have to rewire the engine harness for the external injector driver module that the MS6 ECU uses - MS3 and CX-7 are integrated into the ECU. The MS6 ECU is a totally different package and is mounted inside the car with totally different connectors. The MS6 ECU may or may not send the right broadcast data on the CAN bus for the instrument cluster. It may not communicate properly with the ABS, AWD and other modules too. There are manual trans CX-7s in Europe. I don't know if any are manual+AWD.

It's a huge challenge.

So youre saying my best bet is to wait for a version of Versatuner that will be able to tune the automatic trans and support the Megaspool option

Can I transfer it to my MS6? Will send documentation to sales@versatune dot net or steve@versatune or you or ? doesn't matter?

Totaled CX7
My detailing thread

Looking forward to the switch.

[NCspecV81]

Would love to see another sale. I want to jump ship and I have tax money. Unfortunately, it's still tight

[Steve@VersaTune]

email sales with your info. We'll take care of you.
