No, as soon as you put one of your tunes (F, 1, 2, or 3), your dealer updated firmware is lost

That's correct, unless (as Ford_Power said) you send the box back to CAPA, get it unlocked, and then download the latest factory flash into your F slot. Once any custom tunes are uploaded to the car, the only 'factory' map that can be reflashed is the map that was downloaded into the F slot on your Edit box the FIRST time you used it (or the FIRST time after it has been unlocked by CAPA).

Re-writing to the F slot is NOT an option, unlike the P1, P2 and P3 slots.

So then can't overwrite your pre-service F-Slot factory tune on the flasher with the newly serviced and updated flash tune that the dealer put on once you pick your car up?????

I.e. I buy a flasher and save the factory tune to Slot F, a month later it goes for service so I reflash my stock factory tune back into the ECU.. the dealer then reflashes my ECU with the latest factory tune - Can I or Cant I then save this new factory tune to Slot F, overwriting the factory tune I saved when I bought the flasher ??

No, as soon as you put one of your tunes (F, 1, 2, or 3), your dealer updated firmware is lost

Well that's news to me. I guess one is never too old to learn something new.

A wise old man once said,

"If you learn only 1 new thing each day......"

" you will be a very wise man when you are old."

I've filled my quota for today :wub:

My one thing for the day was to learn what a chicken slap is.

Do you mean a turkey slap??

If so, I hope you were not on the end of it!! :auto: :tease:

maybe he has met Ash from big brother

He's a kiwi....

I'd have thought he was wanting a wooly sheep slap :spit:

I don’t get it.

So you’re all saying that once the F slot is loaded it can’t be overwritten without being sent back to CAPA to be reset?

Only joking, calm down :pinch:
