Write files from android

[richardpalinkas]

Is there any future provision to release an app, whether on the app store or not, to actually load tune files from android to the vehicle? Other vehicles like BMW are able to be flashed using a simple app, would be pretty cool to have a feature to load custom maps on your phone, and flash them as required.

We have the flash only package which works on a windows tablet (can be bought for $100 online), I keep one of these in my car for just in case occasions where my laptop is not available. The main issue with Android is the J2534 cables we use have no android support.

Unlike BMWs etc the Ford requirs 18v on OBD pin 13 during flashing, no cheap cable can do this as it requires a DC-DC converter internally. Hence you cannot use the cheap cables that other Android flashing cables use.

if you want to use a tablet you can follow the guide below to make files for others users. Otherwise you can simply download the flash only package for yourself via the website.

Finally the other reason we don't plan to do any phone based flashing is the Multi Tune via the cruise control buttons effectively covers all our use cases.
