RAPHOON Donating Members 1,776 Member For: 21y 7m 3d Posted 13/03/05 11:36 AM Share Posted 13/03/05 11:36 AM Tuner,I am glad we have the ECU update situation clear Now I want to know, does the Edit box come with a factory version, or will it take my current car's ECU version ?Please do not take offence to my posts, I want clear answers as there has been so much rumor and conjecture about your product, I do not know what is right and what is not.Zap,When purchased, the flashbox arrives with the 3 tunes in slots 1,2 and 3. The F slot is empty. The first time you flash your car takes almost twice as long as any subsequent flash. This is due to the upload of your own factory settings (and VIN) into the flashbox.Hope this makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 15/03/05 07:43 AM Share Posted 15/03/05 07:43 AM I don't see why you would allow Ford to reflash your car.Your own fault. You do realise you can demand them to never change the tune? EVER? If you get your car serviced by Ford then you deserve the hasle. Get your car serviced somewhere that you can decide which oil, which filter etc etc. And you still pay less even when you put premium gear on..... IT DOES NOT VOID WARRANTEE. It is unethical and I think its also illegal for them to void your warrantee without any merit....So, the solution: Get someone who isn't an apprentice to service your car.

I don't see how they can reflash your car unless you report a problem and ask for it to be fixed.probably wrong but to say it voids your warranty is wrong in my view.I have had my car for twelve months and only had 1 reflash at the 3000km service.I have had 2 gearboxes replaced under warranty since then running the original flashmacka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
