Trouble with MHD tune

eddiemundster · 11-18-2018, 01:29 PM

I just did new plugs and coils, a carbon clean, and catless DP all so I could confidently do a mhd tune. Was able to connect my android phone and buy my license and maps and cables seemed to be working fine. I can’t get my flash going and these are the error messages I’m recieving. The second to last one is the one I received when I tried to flash back to stock. Car cranks but won’t start

Most likely your cable, where did you get it? and do you have another one to try?

Did you press the start/stop button? I made the error of not doing that last time and got the same error.

Did you connect to a battery charger (not trickle) ?

I got the same error (about the battery charge being low) when doing a recent flash of XHP. Sure enough my charger showed that the battery was only at 55%.

Connect your car to a charger because it will take 30-40 minutes for the initial flash. Make sure you push the start/stop button 2x to where all the dash lights light up. Also make sure you have a good cable that works, makes a big difference. Don't panic, you just need a reflash and you'll be good to go.

Try flashing it with a different device. For some reason tablets are more effective than Samsung phones. Also make sure its in airplane mode.

I also had issues with trying to run the loads with my phone. It was so bad that I think Justin wanted to wring my neck. A 100 dollar tablet resolved this issue. Must be all the porn surfing while at the office.

Initially I used a cheapo Digiland 7" tablet from BestBuy. It worked but the brightness was too low even on max. Then I used a Moto Z android phone since it was laying around but screen was still too small. It was great for flashes in between e85 and 93 variants. Now I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 7" and its the perfect size for monitoring/data logging.
