Anyone knows the instructions? The package has a USB drive. Just stick it in and follow?

Stick the usb drive in and follow the instructions. It will say that your mygenius is not configured. (normal)

It will also list a serial number of the device. Shoot that over to sales@eurocharged.com

We will then send you over a config file.

Follow these steps to get it imported.

1. Unplug the MyGenius from the PC
2. Update the MyGenius software 3 times
3. Plug in the MyGenius and update the genius device…ignoring the errors.
4. Close the software
5. Open the software
6. Click on update – Import ABL from the TOP text menu.
7. Import the attached abl file
8. Run the mandatory update

Then you are free to send us the ID file. (we will take that and build your tune!)

Anyone got their handheld yet? while extracting the id file, I got stuck on several occasions and after doing some search, found that our cars dont 'read' the ecu. I have managed to pull out the file but I dont know if I have messed up or not since the instructions in the pdf are generic and different than what I saw on the handheld display.

Sidv22

Bump! getting little impatient...handheld in my hands and can do nothing

no support from eurocharged directly? i'd try to send them the file that you extracted. you may have done it correctly.

Sidv22

i sent few emails containing the file, pm's and a text but haven't heard anything yet. but its all good. its been only a day and i cant expect everything to work out so soon, can i?

TigerJK

I sent two emails with a file and still haven't heard yet. Hopefully they can get it done soon. Can't wait to try!!!

Sidv22

Good to know i have some company

Some ecu has been updated by the dealership, so u will have to send ur ecu to Eurocharged for reprogramming. The handheld device will not work on ur car.

Sidv22

who? me? how do u know? u kidding right?

I sure hope that won't be the case when I receive my programmer...

Sidv22

hope u ll clarify or u ll owe me one nights sleep

I received mine today as well. Sent in the serial number and waiting for the config file.

Eurocharged was at a local meet few weeks ago, and they had 2 cars they couldn't flashed the ecu.. They had to cracked open 1 in order to tune it.. and the other member didn't want to open his ecu so he didn't get the tune.

You can PM that member for more details about the ecu updates from the dealership (?).. Here is his post:

What year are these two cars?

Sidv22

Thanks bro! Hope that doesn't happen to me. I was able to get the file out alright. Just hoping its a legit file.
My genius.fpf file is about 7 kb. Do others have same kind of file?

Roswell

I wasn't pointing my statement to u sidv22, I was talking for some cases.. Not necessarily ur case. Lol Good luck!

Go mouse, crazy1eye is an 09 I think.. My friend who let EC cracked open his ecu is a 2012 coupe. I think what happens is sometimes when u bring ur car in for service at the dealership, they might or might not update ur ecu.. So no matter the year of the vehicles, just a matter of having any work done at the dealership that required them to play with ur ecu I think.

I'm no expert I'm this field, I will let EC explains why some cars can be flashed & some can't.

Roswell - now I'm worried. A year ago the dealer ran some system update due to CEL that went off. Programmer is already in the air via FedEx. Fingers crossed.

Roswell

Don't worry, EC is also in Canada.. They will take care of u. At the worst, send in ur ECU or get a refund.

any updates guys? My handheld is due in monday even though i ordered it last friday. Im hoping to have it tuned the same day.

Received my handheld yesterday and got it updated with the config file from Eurocharged (thanks Adam!). Ready to read the file from my car and send over, only issue is my car is being detailed + Opti-coated today.

I pick it up tonight and will see how it goes when I'm back home.

Guys , please check your junk mail folders...I know we have been sending out files!

Just got my handheld today, a bit confused.. do i download the EuroCharged V2 software from the website. Is that one updated?

Sidv22

send serial number and get a config file. use config file to update mygenius. connect OBD port and download *.fpf file. send file to EU and get V4 file in return. tune ur car with that file

c63addix

Steps that I've done:

1- updated MyGenius client
2- Plug MyGenius to car
3- key in position 2
4- WORK > Identify
5- wait for bar to finish
6- key back to position 1
7- finish process
8- Unplug MyGenius from car
9- Open MyGenius client again
10- Click "Download from MyGenius"
11- save the file to desktop
12- my name was automatically named "MYGfile.fpf"
13- Then took a screen shot of "MyGenius Info" screen with all the serial numbers
14- Sent to Eurocharged thru Email

I hope these steps are correct..
