Post by cbDrift »

Hi there,

Just curious.

If i get a k-pro installed on my ecu from the local dealer and want to drive the car to the tuner a few hours away.
With a fresh installed k-pro - what maps are on the ecu if no kal file has been uploaded to the ecu?
is it still running the factory maps / rom
or as soon as the k-pro is installed the ecu requires to be instantly tuned / have a kal uploaded before it will do anything.

eg : can i buy the ecu mod here and then drive it to my tuner before plugging a laptop into the k-pro and uploading a kal - or will i need to get it towed there as the ecu no longer has base maps on it after the install?

Cheers

You need to upload an appropriate map to the ECU as any calibration uploaded to it during install was just for testing and may not be best for your vehicle.
