FL5 CTR, Can I use other country's base map?

Post by subarusti2019 »

Hi there,

After jailbreak, can I flash other country's FL5 factory calibration (eg, Europe, Middle east), would use other country's base map damage my ECU since they belong to different regions?

Thanks!

The binary will change to the correct one for your ECU. So you can't damage the ECU.

Thanks for the reply.
Just for clarification, you mean the calibration's binary will automatically change to match my ECU?

For example, when I hooked my laptop and flashpro to the OBD, and I click new calibration it gives me the dropdown menu as an Asian model, can I manually switch to EU model and select EU's basemap then upload it? (for testing purpose)

If you have the FlashPro plugged in then if you select an Euro model calibration then it will change to whatever model the FlashPro is locked to. You can also change it manually in the calibration window.

Got it! I see the change option in calibration window, looks like it's possible to even use a DE5 calibration on FL5? They are interchangeable?

Yes DE5 and FL5 are the same.
