2015 Civic Si Coupe. My stock stereo amp will turn on while in the process of uploading a cal, but will not turn on during day to day driving. Is there a setting I can look at somewhere?

Does this happen when you plug in the USB cable? The systems are unrelated, but if there is a bad ground then it could be grounding through the USB cable.

Come to think of it, yes it was plugged into the ODB and my laptop through USB. Dont suppose you have any advice? Trace the wires from the amp?

Check the engine bay grounds first - remove and clean down to bare metal. The current through the USB can easily damage the FlashPro, so be careful.

Well I checked - my ground looks fine and I noticed it happens even when just plugged into the ODB without USB.

Can you name which of the grounds did you remove and clean down to bare metal?
