AUTOFLASH TRANSMISSION TUNING FOR SMART FORTWO 1.0 5AT 71 PS W451

Increase performance with up to 50% faster gear shifts on your smart fortwo 451 with the AutoFlash
THE ALL-NEW TCU TOOL IS A FULLY REWORKED AND REPROGRAMMED NEW PLUG N PLAY OBD TOOL THAT NOT ONLY UNLOCKS THE MANUFACTURER’S TRANSMISSION SETTINGS WITHIN THE VEHICLE CONTROL MODULES TO GIVE BETTER GEAR SHIFTS, INCREASED PERFORMANCE, AND RELEASE TORQUE. IT NOW ALSO PROVIDES ADAPTATION RESET AS STANDARD HELPING YOU GET THE MOST FROM YOUR VEHICLE, WHICH PROVIDES AN ESSENTIAL COMPONENT IN YOUR VEHICLE MODIFICATIONS AND UPGRADE PATH.

THE NEW UPDATED TCU TOOL WAS DEVELOPED WITH THREE ADVANCED FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS.

• THE NEED TO IMPROVE AND OPTIMIZE THE GEAR SHIFT SPEEDS AND MODIFY TORQUE SETTINGS IN THE MODERN AUTOMATIC GEARING SYSTEMS TO IMPROVE THE OVERALL DRIVING EXPERIENCE
• THE NEED TO CREATE A SIMPLE TO USE PLUG N PLAY OBD SOLUTION THAT IS EASY TO INSTALL AND AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE
• PROVIDE THE END USER WITH A TOOL THAT ALLOWS THE VEHICLE ADAPTATION SETTINGS TO BE RESET TO FACTORY, SIMPLY AND EFFICIENTLY

HOW DOES IT WORK?

THE ALL-NEW TCU FLASH TOOL INTEGRATES WITH THE VEHICLE ONBOARD COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK VIA OBD TO ACCESS THE ECU, TCU, AND CONVENIENCE MODULES TO ADJUST/RESET THE SHIFT STRATEGIES WITHIN THE OEM (ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER) CONTROL COMPONENTS TO "POINT" OR “RE ADDRESS” THESE STRATEGIES TO THE BEST AND MOST OPTIMAL SETTINGS.

THIS INCLUDES CHANGING THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT SPEED POINTER TO A FASTER/DIFFERENT SETTING. THE INTERNAL COMPONENTS THAT MAKE UP THE MECHANICS OF THE TRANSMISSION HAVE A WIDE RANGE OF TOLERANCE AND MULTIPLE SETTINGS ALLOWING MANUFACTURERS IN MOST CASES TO USE SINGLE COMPONENTS ACROSS A WHOLE RANGE OF VEHICLES, FROM A VW GOLF TO A LAMBORGHINI AVENTADOR. THEY ALL CONTAIN SIMILAR IF NOT THE SAME GENERATION COMPONENTS, USUALLY BUILT IN THE SAME FACTORY, BUT HAVE MODEL-SPECIFIC PROGRAMS THAT ARE USED FOR THEIR SPECIFIC APPLICATION.

THE NEW TCU PROVIDES A CLEAN START POINT

OVER TIME YOUR VEHICLE MAY HAVE ADAPTED TO A SLOWER SHIFT DUE TO A PREVIOUS OWNER OR THE WAY THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN OVER TIME. UNIQUE TO THE NEW 2016 TCU TOOL WE HAVE NOW ADDED THE EXTRA FUNCTION OF RESETTING THIS TO PROVIDE A CLEAN SLATE INSTALL. THIS IS AN ESSENTIAL STEP WHEN MODIFYING OR TUNING AS IT GIVES THE USER A FACTORY-CLEAN REFERENCE POINT AND BASELINE. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE HAVE ADDED THIS FEATURE TO OUR NEW LINE OF TCU PRODUCTS!

WHAT'S ALL THE TORQUE ABOUT?

TORQUE LIMITS ARE ALSO SET IN VARIOUS SYSTEMS AND CONTROL MODULES WITHIN THE VEHICLE; THIS IS SET BY THE MANUFACTURER AND IS ONE OF THE EASY WAYS TO ELECTRONICALLY LIMIT POWER IN CERTAIN MODELS OF VEHICLES. THIS ALLOWS THE MANUFACTURER TO RELEASE MANY DIFFERENT POWER VARIANTS WITH DIFFERENT DRIVING CHARACTERISTICS WITH ONLY A SINGLE ENGINE. THIS IS A MUCH MORE COST-EFFECTIVE WAY OF CREATING A VEHICLE RANGE WITHOUT THE NEED TO MANUFACTURE MULTIPLE ENGINES AT DIFFERENT POWER LEVELS. WE ALL KNOW HOW MANY POWER VARIANTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR THE VW GOLF 2.0TDI. SAME ENGINE DIFFERENT SOFTWARE SETTINGS.

THE NEW TCU RELEASES LOST POWER.

BY SIMPLY UNLOCKING, RESETTING, AND AMENDING THE TORQUE SETTINGS TO THE VARIOUS OTHER MANUFACTURER'S SETTINGS WE CAN ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO PRODUCE AND DELIVER POWER SAFELY AND STILL STAY WITHIN THE MANUFACTURERS SPECIFIED LIMITS. THIS STYLE OF ‘DERESTRICTING’ ENSURES THAT KEY SETTINGS SUCH AS CLAMPING FORCE, SLIP, TORQUE LIMITS, SHIFT SPEEDS ETC. ALL REMAIN WITHIN NOT ONLY MANUFACTURER'S SPECS, BUT ALSO COMPONENT SPECS, THUS NEVER EXCEEDING THE SAFETY OF SHORTENING COMPONENT LIFE.

So, the idea of the AutoFlash is to not only increase shift speed but to increase torque limitations throughout the gearing (except for 1st and reverse gears as we leave these at factory spec for safety) which in turn changes the speed of a shift, typically by 17% but up to 24% in certain circumstances.
