- A short description of the problem.
- Android device & Android version
- TuneECU version (Standard or Pro)
- The exact TuneECU version, (e.g. 5.4.16)
- From where purchased and installed? (From the Google Play Store or from the developer's website?)
- License type
- What connection is used, Bluetooth or cable ?
- For Bluetooth problems: What a Bluetooth adapter is used? (Manufacturers and
Firmware version) - For cable problems: Cable manufacturer or source of supply.
- Which cable adapters are used (OTG etc.) manufacturer or source of supply.
- Loaded Map in ECU e.g 12345map.hex
- Bike manufacturer, model and model year
- VIN of your bike (the last 6 characters of the chassis number, either consisting of digits or a combination of letters and digits)
- Also post the contents of the "trace.txt"
Without the above mentioned information, no support can be done.
No support when it comes to such trivial questions as:
- Is my bike compatible and which functions are supported (see simply in the Bikes List)
- Which cable do I have to use and where can I get it (see simply "System requirements")
- Which Bluetooth adapter do I have to use, etc., questions that everyone can answer for themselves
if they only deal a little with the instructions and the software itself.
System requirements Android System:
- Smartphone or Tablet Android version 4.4 minimum,
dual
Core 1.2 Ghz mini.
Note:
The cheap phones or tablets with Android Go versions do not have enough memory to run TuneECU
and no OTG support for using a USB cable. - Cable USB OBD2 KKL FTDI (The cable is the same as the
windows version)
- Adapter USB/micro (cable OTG) if needed.
- Optionally, a Bluetooth adapter (see compatibility list) can also be used in the Android version.
- More info here
Restrictions on the use of the serial TuneBoy-cable (Windows & Android System):
The Windows version and support is no longer available. Please use the Android version of TuneECU.
which has a FTDI-chip-set. Good example is here the Digitus DA-70156 USB-Serial-Adapter.
- For the Walbro Benelli models, a special
converter cable and AMP Super-Seal connector (6 pin)
is still required, see here. - For
Aprilia, KTM, Benelli, Husqvarna, Ducati, Moto Guzzi, Gilera & Morini ECU's,
additional components are required, follow this link.
More sources for USB/OBD2-Cable, Bluetooth-Adapter and other Adapters, can be found HERE
System requirements Windows System:
The Windows version and support is no longer available. Please use the Android version of TuneECU.
- Computer:
PC or Netbook , running Windows (XP, Vista, Windows
7, Windows 8 & 8.1, Windows 10
(32 or 64 bit) (except Windows RT & Windows Phone) - USB 2.0 or better.
- 1024x576 display and NET Framework (XP only) Vers. 2.0 and upwards..
- USB-OBD2-KKL-FTDI-Cable
(other cables will
not work) for
connecting to the dedicated 16-pin diagnostic plug of the Engine
Control Module.
NOTE: The Windows version can not be used with Bluetooth.
.
For ECM Sagem and Keihin models:
USB/OBDII cable with FTDI chip set and associated CDM (D2XX) ver. 2.06.00 drivers or higher..
Note: for Windows 8 & Windows 8.1 from driver vers. 2.08.28, select here the driver package
for manual installation.
From driver version 2_08_30, works with WIN 8 & 8.1, the automatic installation via
Windows driver update.
For ECM Walbro:
Only a serial cable RS232, a serial port on the computer, and AMP-Super-Seal-connector-6pin
is required see here.
Maybe You need nor a USB/RS232-converter. This converter is required, if your computer has
no a serial interface (RS232).
Note: For the Walbro models is when using TuneECU for Android, still a special converter cable, FTDI-USB-RS232, required. see here.
Drivers limitation for the USB-Tuneboy-cable (Windows System only):
For WIN8 / 8.1 & 10 unfortunately, the tuneboy driver is to install only with a trick.
For WIN8 / 8.1. See here.
With Win 10 is similar
The problem is the enforced driver signing in Windows8, Windows 8.1 & Windows 10.
.
The hardware id of TuneBoy cable is different vs. a generic/TuneECU FTDI cable.
So even though both cables have same chip, TuneBoy cable needs the matching driver.
TuneECU (Windows Version) on a MAC computer ?
The Windows version and support is no longer available. Please use the Android version of TuneECU.
You will need a way to run Windows (preferably XP) on your Mac. This can only be done on those
running an Intel Processor (so if you've got a (very) old one, you're out of luck).
There are different ways to do this:
- Dual boot (Bootcamp)
- Virtualbox
- VMware Fusion
- Parallels
cable driver is installed correctly in Windows.
1. Read the "Map Edit section" of the
User Manual carefully and familiarise yourself thoroughly
with the program before you begin!
2.
Resist the temptation to
fiddle
before you know what you are doing!
3.
Ensure you
have the correct tune
for the VIN range of
your bike and its specification!
4. If you are not an expert in
tuning EFI systems, keep to the Triumph OEM Maps or recommended
alternatives and resist the temptation to
modify them!
5. If you are in doubt ask
an expert. E.g. on the following partner forums:

6.
Do not download tune maps
to/from
the ECM without
first ensuring your
motorcycle battery is
adequately charged,
your lights are disabled by
removing the appropriate fuse, the 16-pin
cable is
connected to both your PC/Laptop and
the 16-pin diagnostic plug of the Engine Control
Module
(ECM) and the ignition is on!
Occasionally
it happens that the download is interrupted, although we have kept
strictly to the
instructions.
It turns
out that it comes to these interruptions, when the battery voltage
falls below 12,5 volts,
even
when connected a battery charger. Apparently the power of
modern chargers is not sufficient
to avoid a voltage drop.
It works perfectly when a second 12-volt
car battery is connected.
7. Basically:
make sure the TuneECU (Windows
version only) or
the Maps are not stored in
too deep directory
(this may lead to the firing of the ECU!) or the map
is
not even loaded.
Negative
Example: c: / tune / ecu / my / triumph / ecu / maps / to
/ I / myself have created /Tuneecu.exe or
xyzabc.hex.
Please store the map for
example in: C: \ Tune or D: \ Tune
Please store the program
and the "TuneLibrary.dll" in: C: \ Program Files \ TuneECU
This ensures that
everything works.
Android version of TuneECU:
The maps or map folder must be stored in the "TuneECU" folder on the Android device
for use with the Android version of TuneECU.
Disclaimer:
Use of the software is at
your own risk. Neither the software developer
or the website operator will provide any form of guarantee.
Software for Windows
The Windows version and support is no longer available. Please use the Android version of TuneECU.
