Wait sorry for the dumb question, but why can't the coding be done with the car running? When I had my car coded previously for the options the remote coder had the car running the entire time.

Battery Tender? How many amps is it?
Coding and Flashing are 2 different things. The PPK mod is "flashing" so your car's DME software needs to be updated.

Not sure. They have different stuff in store than online. No I'm definitely gonna find a 10+ amp unit as having a "bricked" DME sounds no bueno, and I don't even know what bricked means, but I suspect it means your computer gets busted resulting in a tow to my nearest service center.

I'm sorry but I contacted your coder paid the fee, set up a time, and the guy flaked. I have all of the communications and I want to be done with you and your poorly run business. |

As always there are 3 sides to every story. As with any situation, human error and misunderstandings are inevitable. We hope people are reasonable with their judgements. However we can only do so much with remote coding. Joe is a great coder and your situation is not part of the majority of services he does. If it becomes a habit we will take corrective action. Not to downplay your situation but thank you for the feedback. Of course, we apologize for any inconvenience. Last edited by Jeff@TopGearSolutions; 05-08-2016 at 01:52 PM.. |

still haven't heard if you guys can do this on a 2013? Or do the 2012+ cars need to be done by a dealer.

Joe did mine on 4/5 at night. He worked to fit me in when I requested this on short notice. I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend TGS to anyone on this board. The PPK did exactly what I thought it would do.

I could only come up with a 6amp charger for this evening's PPK flash. How worried do I need to be about the battery issue? I've got a 2011 and the battery was replaced under warranty a few years ago and seems fresh and in good condition. When you guys connect the charger, do you advise using the charge terminal and a ground under the hood? What ground do y'all prefer under the hood? Cheers and thanks. My cable should be here this evening and I've got a date with Mr. Joe at 4:30.

I flashed my MHD with no charger .. Write took 38 minutes.. I turned headlight and radio off. Did fine. Shortly after finishing I got the battery light. Just drove it around the block and it's fine ! I have flashed 2x since then without battery tender/charger and it was no issues. That being said you are risking your battery dying and screwing your dme. My battery was fairly new and I knew it was strong and holding a charge

Recommend hooking up the charger the night before or a few hours before, and then just leave it connected. Fully charged is better than low. Just sayn.

Got mine done tonight. Joe was super helpful and answered all my questions and put up with my shitty wifi. Anyway, feels great and love the burbles. There are plenty of reviews out there on PPK, so you're a non-computer person like me, the price was easily worth it, for me.
