Default Dynojet V install?

Hey guys I just received a Dynojet V fuel tuner for my 2012 Sportster 48. It looks a little more complex of install compared to the newer (6pin) style connector on the bikes. The wiring harness is much larger. Something tells me there was a jump ahead in technology since this older model came out. Anyways I’m just wondering if there’s any step by step online videos out there? I haven’t been able to find any. Any suggestions would be great!

Return it and get a Powervision.

The PC-5 is a piggy back tuner. It hangs outside the ECM and intercepts and modifies signals. The ECM doesn't even know it's there, it thinks it's still operating a stock bike.

The Powervision is a flash tuner. It accesses the internal tables and settings of the ECM and teaches the ECM about the motor setup.

Flash tuners work far, far better than piggy-back tuners. It's not even close.

Hey thanks for the suggestion. The tuner came with the bike when I bought it. The guy never had time to install it so he just included it in the purchase price. Is the Vance and Hines FP3 a flash tuner?

A lousy one, but yes.
