UMMMMMM.... i think i bought a car with a tune...

banky · 07-22-2011, 05:38 PM

ok, so this conversation is kind of a continuation from this thread:

http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=562194

basically, got it dyno'd and i thought it was kind of low (263.2 dyno dynamics) so i posted and people noticed i peaked at 13psi.. which is above stock and also a different problem from what i originally thought i had (low numbers). anyway, someone suggested i check to see if i have a tune or something and shit, turns out i think i do. checked ECU compartment and i have a silver box with a VGA-like connector (computer monitor?) and also a separate black box with a unused blue wire clean cut at the end but not wrapped with tape (exposed).

so now i have more questions than when i started and i need to know: what the hell is it and how do i use it?

HELP

Looks like your car is equipped with a Procede. The black box and cut wire (antenna) is for the old map switching remote.

263.2 hp ???? If you had a tune I think that the hp will be higher

GeorgiaTech335coupe · 07-22-2011, 05:41 PM

The other component is to connect a serial to usb cable and connect to a laptop. This is how you make adjustments to the procede using the Procede user software.

OpenFlash · 07-22-2011, 05:41 PM

lol.. you have a Procede

Congrats. Now get it out of valet mode and have fun. To play it safe, you should also update to the most current maps/fw.

Richurd · 07-22-2011, 05:41 PM

That is a procede. Someone beat me to it

Could've been on a valet map, plus Dyno Dynamics read low.

Murf · 07-22-2011, 05:42 PM

Free Procede FTW...

Jeff@TopGearSolutions · 07-22-2011, 05:42 PM

Lucky you! Free PROcede!

banky · 07-22-2011, 05:46 PM

this is so crazy, lol. so where do i start? im assuming visit the procede website to download software? buy a serial>USB and open up the ECU box to keep changing maps? will the procede software work on a mac? (OS X)

this is so crazy.

NiVeDh · 07-22-2011, 05:46 PM

Nice! Free Procede.

///M3THOD · 07-22-2011, 05:49 PM

connect the serial to usb and route it to inside the car's glove box. Then leave it there to connect whenever you need it. Search on here, there are a few ways to do it.

Procede only works on Windows.

Consider this a blessing. A lot of people have a hard time pulling the trigger on getting a tune, but in almost every case, once they do they wished they had done it earlier.

banky · 07-22-2011, 05:52 PM

thanks so much! this definitely is a blessing!

anyone know what version this procede is? are all maps/firmware compatible?

Syndicategt · 07-22-2011, 06:01 PM

I so called it....13 psi didn't seem right on stock dyno. Get that thing upgraded to the latest Firmware/Maps!!!

New Verb - You got Proceded

MaximusJ · 07-22-2011, 06:04 PM

Damn; happy birthday!

Wow, that's like dating a hot woman and finding out she has a hot twin sister that likes to share!

onebadmofo · 07-22-2011, 06:07 PM

Now just figure out what the hell is wrong with your car. The power should not be that low even in this weather.

rader1 · 07-22-2011, 06:14 PM

Shouldn't it be making a lot more than 260 at 13psi?

Is it normal to hit 13psi in valet mode?

///M3THOD · 07-22-2011, 06:19 PM
