yeah its from experience. i still own a 02 rsx type s with kpro which will be laying around once the car is sold. but its wise jus to have your map saved on your lap top (calibration as kamanger calls it...or cal for short) than to pull the cal off kpro. me personally didnt have very good luck pulling a cal off kpro due to the cal that was on there was loaded with a older version of kmanager that i didnt have.

 

yeah if you're going to download a map off the actual ecu your best bet is to have the most up to date version of the k-manager software. if not, chances are you can download the map and end up with a corrupted file.

 

you can download an kal from an ecu and save to your PC's hard drive and share with folks.

however, files can be locked via password so that you can not pull off an ecu.

you can download kmanager for free and view various kal files to see how the software works...

 

you cant lock kpro ecu. but the aem ems you can

 

ok, so how do you pull the map off? didn't see anything saying how in the kmanager help file

 

i wouldnt advise doing it. But tools>download or something

 

in the bar on the top of kmanager click online>tools>and download.

and you can "protect" the ecu but as kmanager say in the contents it just locks the map from being downloaded back and it cant be read or a new cal cant be uploaded. until you erase the ecu.

 

im thinking about putting kpro in my s2k since i already have kpro for the rsx but im jus worried about cruise control. i know they disable it for the tsx but they dont say anything about it on hondata so im going to assume that it still works

 

hm, download is greyed out...

 

maybe KPRO has to be plugged into the car? mine is just sitting in the living room
