Loaded 92 octane FA20Club all catback standard fuel, standard timing...200 miles of driving....wow what a difference. Much more linear on throttle, power comes on smoothly. Thank you UniChip!!! Down in Mexico while testing I got the tires to bark shifting to 3rd (paddling the AT no less). BTW, Mexico is where all of us in AZ go to do high speed testing......

Loading the UniQ could not of been easier, unplug from car, carry inside and hook up to computer......all of 10 minutes and was done loading maps.

Was going to load "updated firmware" but stopped, the instruction say to load file ending with .DAS........two listed in the file location, and not knowing what was the right one I decided to leave well enough alone............would be nice to know which one is the right one. Maybe a file name of UniQFWmmddyyy.DAS (mmddyyy would let you know if it is newer than what you have already.

Then I wanted to rename my maps in the Flux2.......who had the bright idea to have to have the OBD2 connector connected to do this......as I did not feel like lugging my laptop out in the 118 degree heat and do this it will have to wait for later.

As far as I can tell the only reason to have the OBD2 connected is to apply power to the Flux2 display so hyper-terminal will communicate to the display......you could not of made a connection cable that would power it by the USB connection? And why Hyperterminal, WIN7 and above needs to download a program to get this as its not included past VISTA......I see no reason a nice program could not of been included with the Flux2 to do this.

Another issue, ever look in the folder of instructions? 100398762.pdf, 10667483.pdf, 488208324.pdf (numbers just typed in as an example). Lets click and open everyone of the number.pdf files until I find what I need, sure a few have a written easy to understand file name, but would it be too much to ask that they all have a file name that is easy to understand what it is. After doing this for 15 minutes I found it faster to go find the box my UniChip came in and look up what I needed.

Might even be a good idea to put ALL of the instructions on the website in the FR-S product category, to include all of the instructions needed for the FR-S version of UniQ and Flux2 product......

The new tune works great, and apart from the minor inconveniences listed above this is the best MOD to date.
