I flashed just like everyone else, but I will strongly recommend those who have backed up there cpm software and flashed with DS software, remember to shut down everything when the DS programmer tells you too! This means once the initial flash is in, you have to shut down the CAN bus, this is accomplished by turning the key off, unplug the Trinity, open the drivers door. Once this is completed, you can close your door, turn your key on and try to start the car. If the car starts, your good, now plug the programmer back in and perform the flash update again based on the tune you want to install. Once the install is completed again, follow the instructions on the Trinity and all will be well.
It seems the pcm gets confused for a moment and thats why you have to disconnect the Trinity as the Trinity keeps the CAN bus alive and you can't totally get the pcm updated. It is time consuming at the initial install, but once thats completed you can change the tune to any DS tune within a minute.
Currently I'm running the 93octane tune on my R/T, I also have a Mopar CAI and exhaust. The few adjustments I made were:
Cooling fans on about 20deg earlier than stock
WOT - added 5% fuel
Rev limiter in Neutral/Drive maxed out
Speed limiter maxed out
When I take off in Autostick w/traction control disabled by OEM button and not DS, the car blazes the tires in first, I go to grab second at 7000rpm but the OE programming takes over and shifts before that, then I grab 3rd and before I know it I'm already hitting over 60mph.
Mike,
Is there any way to bypass the OEM upshift/downshift feature on the Autostick cars?
My R/T pulled hard right up to the OEM shift point, and I feel the car can rev higher than that and keep pulling. Another thing is TQ converter lockup, I would like to see if that's possibly adjustable as I would not like to see it lock until I'm cruising at least 50mph or higher in 5th or 6th gear. Currently it still locks up in 4th at the stock level and I hear my car start bogging when it happens because depending on throttle input/speed it is really affecting my overall MPG because it locks up way to soon and I have to give more throttle to get it out of lockout to maintain the speed I'm in at 4th gear.
All in all, I'm definitely impressed again with the DS programmer!
Thanks again for finally getting a tune out for us FWD performance people!
I agree no matter what I do the car shifts first gear no more then 5800 rpm
customer is super ready to get tunned
