OK, from what I read, it should still be there.

But someone mentioned I may have to go through a "re-learning" process. So bike fuels properly. Something like let it run for a set period of time w/o touching throttle. Trying to figure out what exactly that process is.

 

The tune is in the ECU and will still be there. You don't need to do anything. Install the new battery, start it and ride away.

 

Thanks.

Last I used TuneECU was probably 15-ish years ago when TuneECU was relatively new and was run off a computer. I see now it is solely an android app, no longer windows supported.

This is the cable I have from when TuneECU ran off my old winXP computer w/ USB-A connection. Assume I'll need a new cable w/ a USB-C connection that will plug into my Android phone. Need to figure out which one to buy? Any recommendations?

So any pointers for the best places to read up on coming up to speed on TuneECU?

Bike has seen little use last ten years. Now that I'm retired I'd like to spend some time with it.

Thanks for any info!

 

You don’t need an android. Your older windows machine will still connect and run TuneECU with the cable you have.

If you no longer have the computer, you’ll need a usb-c to usb-a adapter to connect to your phone and you’ll need to download and pay for the Android version of the app.

I’ve found the TuneECU website and forums are the best places for information.

 

Yea, my old Win XP computer w/ TuneECU is long gone. But I just found the zip file from when I downloaded TuneECU as freeware back around year 2010 or so for my Win XP computer. Looks like I have the zip files for 1.5.3 & 1.6.7 versions.

I wonder about compatibility w/ Win 10 now in present day? As the cable driver and these older TuneECU vers were written 15 years ago. I'm a computer user, not a computer expert.

I'm starting to read over the tuneecu.net website.

I can only see myself using Tune ECU for maintenance and diagnostics use. The bike ran fine in the past. Won't need to mess w/ fuel maps, at least I don't think so, anyway.

Wondering due to compatibility, just going w/ newer Android ver?

 

I was never a PC person so can’t offer an opinion about running the last Windows version of TuneECU under a current Win OS. That’s where the TuneECU forum will be helpful.

I only kept an ancient Windows machine around to run TuneECU on my ‘12 D675. The PC gave up the ghost about the same time I bought a Tiger XCA to go along with my Daytona. That’s when I discovered: A) Windows was no longer supported and B) direct cable connection wasn’t supported for the newer Triumphs.

I’m part of the Apple device ecosystem and didn’t want to get into the Android world but really had no choice. I found a relatively inexpensive Samsung Tablet (I couldn’t imagine trying to run TuneECU off of a phone screen), picked up the USB-C to A adapter to use on the D675 and the Bluetooth OBD Link to connect to my newer Triumphs. Even if I never use the program to alter fuel maps, it is a great diagnostic tool as well as messing about with other ECU parameters on the bikes. Also, because it is the supported version, as I change bikes, I know I’ll have access to monitor the ECUs.

Good luck.

...... I couldn’t imagine trying to run TuneECU off of a phone screen.

Rather than risk having to fool w/ old back compatibility issues I'm going to get a bluetooth module and download the latest ver of TuneECU.

 

And "Studio X" brought up a great point... using the software on a phone screen. I've got a pretty large Android phone. Can anyone comment on using tuneECU for basic diagnostics & maintenance on a phone screen. Last thing I want to do is buy another electronic device. I don't see myself adjusting maps on my own. Perhaps downloading a new map maybe.

But how bad is it using TuneECU on a phone screen?

 

Perhaps I have figured out the cable(s) I need. Earlier I missed and didn't see the pulldown for the connecting USB cable option. Now I see why they call that "Box" a cable. As I missed the pulldown for the cable option when I looked at it earlier.

Then on the cable option pulldown pick the "USB-C" option (my Android has micro USB-C connector)

That's all I need, right? Other than download and install the SW on my phone.

 

If you have a USB-A to OBD cable that worked with your windows laptop, you DO NOT need another cable. You just need the adapter that will connect your Android device’s USB-C port to a USB-A connector on your cable.

What that chart is telling you is with a USB cable (USB-A to OBD) you can do diagnostics, read map and write back to the ECU - i.e. do everything. With a Bluetooth adapter all you can do is read the ECU. It does not allow you write back to it.

I still have that cable, see picture in post #4 (above).

Thanks, I really do appreciate your help on this. Electronics is not one of my strengths.
