Oft noob
 

New to tuners in general bought it to pair with full uel to catback swap and just trying to get a feel for it but have a couple questions, how do I know if it's "up to date"? I downloaded the files for the laptop and plugged it up and it went through a bunch of steps and at one point it said there was updated available then went through more steps,did it download updated tunes or what? And if I already flashed the tune on my car after I did my exhaust will I now need to reflash the tune or what? Guess what I really need is a oft for dummies course. I've never re tuned a car before,i just ordered it from ft86 speed factory and watched a video from shiv on YouTube on how to install and I did that,so wasnt sure info needed to do more now that I've did the laptop thing

see links below probably start with OFT TIPS link

Steve99,

OFT Noob here as well. Bought the OFT a month ago. Read your OFT Tips and flashed my AT FRS (Stage 1) without any problems.

I recently plugged my OFT and it downloaded updates. Do I need to re-flash Stage 1 or just keep on enjoying myself and not worry about the updates?

Thanks!

Kinda where I'm at as well..

When oft updates connected to pc its just updating oft functionality like logging or extra features bug fixs ect

You have to manually upload updated tunes so unless you get an updated tune from oft site manually or you change tune yourself with romraider , no no need to do any reflashing

Thanks! Sorry I'm advance but where do I find the updated tunes then? I went to the downloads section on oft website but wasn't exactly sure which one was newest, I did get the open flash manager and Windows 8 patch part figured out,lol that was about as far as I got before my daughter made me go play with her outside.

If I got the OFT just a month ago, what version of the OTS maps would have come with it? Or is there a way I can check to see the OTS map version currently loaded in the OFT?

Thanks again!

At bottom of downlod page 2.06x are tunes for NA cars latest versions

if your oft is less than 6 months old it will already have latest tunes

there is no esy way to check version but tunes have not changed in last 6 months or more just more support for new rom calid versions.
