I need help!
Is there an idiots guide to tuneecu with pop up pictures or is anyone near Grimsby area that could point me in the right direction?
Just in the process of fitting my new cpr rottweiller intake, removing the sas and removing the secondary butterflies so thought id take a look at downloading the software so i could turn it all off in the ecu.
Im shit on computers and this has just confused me and the last thing i wanna do is start messing with the ecu if i dont really know what im doing. Even rung my local dynojet guys but theyve never used it.
Ive spent hours trawling through info on here on and looking on the website, i know its a common subject on here and people are probably sick of answering questions on it but someone take pity and help me out
PMSL
i was in the same boat as you i just read up on it and did it one stage at a time i must admit i was pumping it but if i can do it im sure you can just take your time
I have only recently started to twiddle with Tuneecu and have a go as makes more sense when its in front of you than when reading about it. Although do not adjust or change anything unless you are 100% sure.
The way I learnt how to use it was by downloading and having a play with the software whilst not connected and reading the manual on the site, just to figure it all out. As long as you save the map currently fitted to the bike, then you're good to go 'cos you can always revert back to the current map.

As a piece of mind, I believe there has only been one person to brick the ECU, and I think they did it by "choice" as in pushing to see how far they could go... Someone else can clarify that though.
It's all this thing about drivers you have to download, then make sure internet is off so it doesnt update coz you need to use an old driver or something.
I'll be honest. I totally fluked it by getting it to download and work. Once its downloaded and plugged into the bike its all dead simple. It was the downloading part that had me.

This post could not be recovered from the original forum.

If you google TuneECu there pops up a YouTube video demo
Might make sense
That drivers thing has never effected me. I'm running windows 7 and the 'net is always connected, so I'm guessing I've got the latest driver.... never had a problem with it.
