ECU Connect vs Haldex.Flash

IMPORTANT This app requires an EcuTek Bluetooth Vehicle Interface to connect to your car's ECU. These are available from EcuTek Tuners. Find your nearest one at www.ecutek.com/dealers. If you don't have an interface, run the demo mode within the app to see ECU Connect in action. ECU Connect is the free companion app to the new pocket-size Bluetooth Vehicle Interface produced by specialist tuning firm EcuTek Technologies. Once you have purchased your EcuTek Vehicle Interface, plug it into your car's OBD vehicle diagnostic socket, pair it with your phone in the app and you will open up a whole new world of enjoyment with your car. With ECU Connect, you can receive and program in a tuned file from one of our EcuTek Master Tuners just with your phone. No laptop, no wires, no fuss. Just create an account in the app, select the tuner you want to work with, and you are ready to receive the tuned file. Discuss with your tuner what you want to achieve from the tune and once the file has been created, you will receive a notification that the file is ready. Go to Program ECU, select the file and follow the on-screen instructions. It's as easy as that. All that's left is for you to enjoy the car! For more details on programming your car’s ECU with ECU Connect go to www.ecutek.com/phone-flash Your EcuTek Tuner can also set up some unique RaceROM features which allows you to control and adjust some aspects of the tune with your phone: Launch RPM; Traction Control settings; boost and torque levels; switch between different set ups such as track mode, economy mode, fast road and flexfuel on the fly. These are just some of the example set ups. Speak to your EcuTek Master Tuner and discuss with them what you'd like. There are lots of options to choose from. For a list of supported models together with their ECU Connect Features go to www.ecutek.com/ecu-connect Whether your car is tuned on EcuTek or not, with ECU Connect you can instantly see how your engine is performing as you drive it (even if the car is not officially supported, ECU Connect provides basic support for most cars using generic OBD2 CAN communication protocol available on nearly all vehicles manufactured from 2008 onwards). You can view and log any parameter the ECU records and even create unlimited personalised dashboards if you want to monitor specific groups of parameters. Save and send these logs direct from the app to your tuner. You can also record GPS coordinates in the log files, so you can see what was happening at any given point on your logging run (very useful on track days).

Haldex.Flash turns your iPhone or iPad into a flashing, tuning and diagnostic tool for Haldex all-wheel-drive couplings and VAQ front differentials. No laptop, no cable, no trip to a workshop. Plug the Haldex.Flash adapter into your car's OBD port and pair it. The app reads your VIN, box code and controller software version automatically, then shows exactly what your licence allows. LIVE TUNING Change how the clutch engages without reflashing anything. The PWM duty map is laid out by road speed against throttle position - adjust any cell, apply it to the controller in seconds, and feel the difference on the next drive. Start from a preset and fine-tune from there: • OEM+ - a subtle gain over stock. Less understeer and more wet-weather confidence. A set-and-forget daily. • Street - noticeable all-wheel-drive feel, planted through corners. • Sport - aggressive corner-exit traction and strong mid-range. • Track - maximum safe engagement for consistent traction under power. • Drag -maximum coupling for straight-line launches. FLASHING Install a performance calibration, go back to the original factory calibration, or load a custom file. The whole procedure runs over Bluetooth with live progress on screen. Safety checks run before anything is written, you confirm with a deliberate press-and-hold, and an interrupted flash can be recovered. DIAGNOSTICS Read and clear fault codes from the Haldex or VAQ controller, with plain-English descriptions instead of raw hex. Stored and pending codes are shown separately. LOGGING Watch live data as you drive - pump duty, pump current, clutch and module temperature, wheel speeds, supply voltage and more. Export the whole run as a CSV file to analyse later or send to your tuner. SERVICE Run a clutch pump relearn and read back pump calibration values. BUILT FOR THE CAR PARK, NOT THE BENCH Everything happens over Bluetooth from the driver's seat. Progress is clear at every step, errors explain what to do next, and the app keeps working if you switch away mid-flash. WHAT YOU NEED • A Haldex.Flash Bluetooth adapter • A Haldex.Flash account • A licence for the vehicle you are working on A NOTE ON SAFETY Flashing modifies the control unit that manages your vehicle's drivetrain. Changes may affect how the car behaves, and may affect your warranty. Only use settings appropriate for the conditions you are driving in, and make sure modifications are permitted where you drive.
