There was only one FlashPro when I bought mine which included Bluetooth. No CARB version available then. I can find the box if you're still curious.
It's "For Off Road Use Only" according to notes on the box and probably the unit itself.
Original Gernby tune was put in the car 4 years ago and never touched.

Was inquiring to both software / hardware as believe there are a few different FlashPro hardware version (Race, CARB, etc..). I'm only guessing that the software could detect what version of hardware was being used and force some parameters to cover the company legally if they ever got sued, i.e. Race version would never set readiness monitor where CARB would but then not let the tuner override other parameters. Moot point as you're likely running the same hardware I am.
Either way all my googling concluded that the ability to set the readiness codes was disabled in the past couiple of years. Your points of reference kind of support that theory as you had passed emissions in the past while now the car would not pass the same test.

Google "spark defouler". Just be sure to remove right before you go in for the smog check (unless you have one of those kiosks...) The rear o2 usually takes a few drive cycles to report a problem.

I didn't dare try. I just flashed back to the factory tune. The smog testing system did recognize that the ecu had been disconnected/flashed. I had to return to get it to pass. I put ~50 miles on the car before the emissions sensors were back to functioning correctly. I also put the oem catalytic converter back in.

I don't even attempt a smog check before checking the readiness codes with an OBD2 reader. It just wastes your time & money if even one code is reporting "not ready" or "fail".

Mine will apparently fail now as the blinking CEL indicates. For the unacquainted turn the ignition On but don't start the car. Watch the CEL. If it goes out in maybe 30 seconds you're set. If it keeps blinking you're not.
