Default Technosquare software

So, i am very intrigued by the software technosquare has available. My question is this... Is the tuning software available to tuners? Meaning, do they have a software package that will allow me to tune my own car as opposed to using their maps?

I am building a few cars up and would like to have the software to control the stock ecu as opposed to hacking it with a piggyback or going as far as a full stand-alone.

Yes. they have the hardware and software available so that if you have access to a dyno, you may write your own software specific to your needs.. it is a 'developer kit' in which you will have to R&D your own maps... this isnt for the light hearted... when i look at it. it looks like the matrix.. just a bunch of hex code, you have to figure out what it all means...

do you know if this will provide access to all maps?
also, will it provide access to the ecu trouble codes?


sorry for the questions...

What you do with the access to the core programming is entirely up to you.

just be forewarned...some states prevent the altering of emissions codes....

yea, i know not really looking for the emissions codes though, more of the knock sensor/misfire type codes.

One last thing, do you know if it at least names the maps (as in Fuel, ignition, etc)

Slightly off topic, but does the Technosquare flash allow you to adjust for tire/wheel size differences?

maps are accessable... but the exact locations are trade secrets from R&D...and you sorta have to figure it out on your own.

if you're thinking its a graphical representation, or a table labeled "timing" or "fuel" ...there is none.
