Tuning without a laptop? Is it possible?

Post by 2008BlackSi »

I have an 06 Si and flashpro. I just installed some bigger injectors the other day and need to update the calibration. I do not have a laptop though... I only have a desktop. Is it possible to upload the new program onto the flashpro unit using my desktop, disconnect the flashpro, take it to my car, and then upload the new tune using just the flashpro?
Is that possible, or does the flashpro HAVE to be connected to my computer while uploading the new tune to my car?
If its possible, can somebody please provide a step by step?

Yes, you can reflash using FlashPro without using a laptop. See http://www.hondata.com/help/flashpro/up ... ration.htm

Basically:
- Plug the FlashPro into the desktop. (Install drivers if necessary).
- Upload the calibration.
- Take the FlashPro to the vehicle, plug in, switch on ignition.
- Press the program button for 1 second.

If you need to first lock the FlashPro to the vehicle it can be done as well without a laptop, but requires additional steps to first record the vehicle VIN, and then lock the FlashPro to that VIN.
