Same process as installing a C4. If you're not great with wiring, contact Hootons Harnesses or one of the other Barra wiring specialists that've done it several times.

Puffwagon Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Open the PCMTec program, open the strategy in the program, click Read/Write vehicle, where it says Virtual Read/Partial Write change that to Full Read/Write, click Write Flash etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puffwagon Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Yes it can flash the pcm, you would need to licence a new file first so make sure you choose the right one. I don't have a lot of experience with conversions etc so won't recommend a particular strategy. If you have modded the car to the extent of using a different trans, you might want to consider the one car workshop version of the software. Combine that with the custom OS and you'll have a lot of tunability, launch control etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan2483 Posted April 15, 2023 Author Share Posted April 15, 2023 im quite new to this software but if i flash the pcm will i lose the current changes ive made . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puffwagon Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 You'll have a back up of the file but yes, flashing the pcm will overwrite the current file. If you want to keep the changes you've made after flashing, you'd have to compare your old file, tick the relevant changes you want to keep, apply them to the new file and reflash that into the pcm. It's easy enough to do and doesn't cost anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
