Autocal calibration file storage capacity

[av08]

The tuner providing the tunes to the customer can set a flag in the *.ctd file that prevents full-flashing. So its really up to the tuner to "protect" their customers if they think the customer needs protecting.

I opened my tune file and checked the box as shown, also checked the second box, and save the file using save as, now I can not use this saved file with full programming, is this correct?

Also, what does the locking controller mean? what is the advantage?

THANKS!!

If you saved the file with out the parent V2 connected I don't believe your AutoCal will accept it.
Locking the controller means that your calibration can not be read by anyone else, it's a way
for the tuner to prevent the tune from being "stolen"

P.S. Paul I am starting to see why AutoCal support is provided by the tuner.

But if autocal was connected, I will be able to flash using prog ONLY (not full)? is this correct?

NO I believe the v2 (not Autocal) needs to be connected when the file is saved.
This prevents Autocal customers from writing their own tunes. The tuner that the
Autocal was purchased from has the V2 that it is linked to, he/she has to save the
file then send it.

Paul,

Any idea when this feature (compact file format) will be available?

I am working on that. The compact file format that will contain just the calibration section which will only be about 300-400KB.
You'd get about 10 cal-only tune files onto AutoCal.
The only limitation is you won't be able to do a full flash with those cal-only files.

Can't wait to see this compact format available...As we speak can't put the stock calibration with the modified calibrations...too bad!

If I am stuck on the road and have to take my care to dealer, I have to have a laptop ready all the time in my car..
