What happens if you've got an unlocked RaceROM map from a tuner? Will you need the RaceROM software to be able to change anything?

If you want to have access to the following RaceROM features, you can do so with the FREE ProECU BRZ:

• LaunchControl
• Flat Foot Shifting
• Auto Blip
• Throttle Mapping
• Per Gear Rev Limits

If you want to have access to the following RaceROM features you will need to purchase the RaceROM BRZ upgrade:

• Four Way Map Switching
• Custom Maps offering unique functionality:

  Traction Control
  FlexFuel tuning
  Closed Loop Boost Control

• Speed Density based Engine Calibration
• High Horsepower Forced Induction Load Limiter Lift

Well this is pretty dang great

can someone tell me how this is defferent from what I already have?

I probably should have added an extra question...






If I'm provided with a map that has only the basic functions, but includes map switching then we have to purchase the top package to edit anything? Sorry if it seems like an obvious question, but I know most people will utilise the map switching functionality.

What you already have, you cannot edit anything - you simply flash whatever your tuner gives you.

With this, you can edit either some of the stuff (for free), or everything (by paying to unlock the full turner package)

You only have to purchase the RaceROM BRZ upgrade if you want to have access to anything other than the factory maps (Mode 1).

So to re-iterate, I could edit map 1 but maps 2, 3 and 4 are tuner/RaceROM editable only?

i'm in! when and where can i get it?

just to be clear: with the 'RaceROM BRZ' package and one of your license/dongle/cable things, i can edit all of the known stock maps, in addition to the racerom stuff like speed density?

also, does the 'programming kit' come with the license or is that an additional $300 on top? if so we're talking $1150 out the door for license/programming kit/racerom brz software. that's a bit steep. can the maps be shared between users? do i still have to pay for a tune from a vendor or can i start from scratch?

Correct

Correct. You need to contact any one of our Master Tuners to get yourself a ProECU Retail Programming Kit (Cable thingy)

Our master tuners can be found here

You will need to discuss pricing of the Programming kit and licence with a Master tuner. He may offer you a deal.
