if the car is flashed with an X4 cal with a locked tune, you can't read the tune.

To test if it is locked, download a free copy of forscan and then try and connect your laptop to your car via obd and see what forscan says.

If it says it can't connect, then your x4 cal tune is locked.

This is something that has been discussed here and there and without going into the why of it, I'd recommend to someone in your situation to drive to a tuner that can flash it back to stock with ids and then let them tune it from scratch with hpt.

 

If it were me though, I'd just see if hpt reads the tune ok and then tune from there if it does. Your tuner can decide what option they prefer.

 

Fwiw I was writing a tune one day and the laptop died and it just rewrote when I fired the lappy up again. No bricks were had :bricks:

yes, but some of the parameters don't translate directly across from sct to hpt.

That's my reference in the first paragraph.

My arse. Everything is evidence. Proof is another matter entirely.

:yes-sir:

 

Lemme go ahead and tag @JETURBO as this is something that he would have more experience than most with.

 

Also op if you haven't already, head over to the hp tuner forums and have a look. Some of the guys from here have posted some quality stuff there over the years.

 

Just like here it will take some digging though.

Thanks I've been reading alot on the hpt forums.. From what I've read there only seems to be a problem with hpt writing over efi-live tunes but that could have since been fixed with the new update.. Doesn't seem to be a problem with the US guys writing directly over SCT tunes but still very hard to get a 100% answer about the aus fords

I have a spare FG Auto ECU. I can't use it for my manual as I had planned(or should I say I don't want to risk it).

you know how to find me. :P
