Just a quick question. If I shut down the car in cal 5 and trc 7, when I start the car up will it default back to 1 & 1 or will it keep the previous values?

Just wondering if I can set it and keep the same setting without having to re-connect to bluetooth etc.

Thanks

Hi Scott,

If you haven't got any cal switches and only change map from the bluetooth module then it will go back to 1 and 1

I do at the moment but unfortunately I don't have any spare inputs so I would need to use the switch ones.

My main reason for asking is due to the security option of having a "dead" map so that the car won't start. I guess I could just make it the first cal setting though, that would take care of that

Downside of a bluetooth connected "occasional" interface IMHO.

You need - again, IMHO - permanently connected CAL switches or a Dash/Toucan/whatever that will ensure the CAL settings you want are present in all circumstances.

Thanks Tim, definitely some food for thought then

Just one more thing. Are you saying that I'm better keeping the switches and not using the bluetooth at all, or is there a way to use both at the same time?

It would be one or the other, as ultimately both connect to the analogue voltage inputs on the ecu for control.

Personally I like a switch I can see and change quickly at any time without a second thought and you'll always know what it is set at.

Tim's Cal switch with the numbered rotary dial make this very easy, although there will be various knob/dial options if these didnt suit

As already mentioned the current Bluetooth firmware does not record last or allow to set a default cal / trc position, it defaults to 1 on startup / power on.

When Pat has some free time this is something we are looking to address, the idea being that you can set any position as a module startup position for all three outputs available, the hardware has the capability and we have already discussed the logic, just waiting on the implementation
