I agree. A google search of stivo headers yields nothing, nada. Were these made in someone's basement

Datalogging isn't too far out. The programmers are working it out right now from what I've been told. I've tested some beta versions of it and I think everyone will be pleasantly surprised.

Does the snorkel removal yield any power gains? And does it require using a different tune calibration?

Hi Shiv,
Have you had a chance to look at any ZA1J___G ROMs yet?
Any major differences with XDF defs, etc?

The OFT updates itself so you need to be connected to the internet. Here's what I did when I got it:

1. Connect OFT to computer and let it update itself.
2. Connect OFT to car and read the ECU
3. Connect OFT back to computer and upload the map you want to load
4. Connect OFT back to car and upload map

There was a recent FW upgrade for the OFT as well so I would recommend connecting it to a PC with internet connection to get that.

Ok here are some more details:
I don't have Internet at home, I use my phone for everything.
I used my phone to download the programs and tune files and transferred them to my laptop.
I have since gone to a wifi spot and updated the fw to 116
Also ran the win8 patch even though I'm on win7
Still cannot get the tablet to upload the tune file to my car

So you've successfully read your ECU and uploaded the correct map to the OFT? Did you get the checksum pop-up window that says the checksum was corrected?

When you connect the OFT to your car, you have it turned on, but not running correct? When you go to upload and click upload, you select the map and then click next and it fails or it fails before that?

Successfully read ecu and uploaded corresponding 1.2 map.
Checksum YES written success YES

When I connect to car, whether key is on or off (not running)
Select tuning, tablet shows: reading tune file, then:
open flash type: professional
Vin number
Ecu file BLANK
hw 100
Fw 116

Also strangely it wants to calibrate its screen every time I connect to anything

@shiv is there a way I can start over?
