Ive had the j1850 update for a couple weeks. Flashed my 2013 bike when I saw and solved my issues. Originally there were 125 maps and now lists 200

 

Great! Glad to hear it helped you out!

 

Let me try to put this as eloquently as I can to ur bosses Bryan..."HELL to the NO Vance and Hines.! We are not gonna pay anything for what should have been a mandatory part of the product in the first place.


*One - i purchase ur product for $3xx

*Second, after all the requesting..U don't give us the PC software which is ABSOLUTELY necessary..(no 2 ways about this, any advance user and tuner shop will tell u it's a must and u know it too...otherwise we wouldn't be having this conversation)

*Three, U don't fix the basic flaws and important missing tables that i have been requesting and PLEADING u to fix for the past 2 YEARS now. Such a shame this is still not ur priority yet..but clearly u have enough time to update the UI (which is unappealing) and create 50+ of the same Map's for an exhuast type with various manufacturers name's jus to increase the number on the list.(link to the thread in the above posts where the Maps are compared)

*Now, as a half-hearted pity favor u wanna give access to ur online software environment and actually want us to PAY u $X AGAIN MONTHLY. Are u seriously kidding me n have completely lost it Vance and Hines.!
**(Before u say setting up the servers etc is an added expense n so on...remember we never wanted the online environment in the first place...We and the tuner shops just wanted a simple PC software, so we could Edit our Maps and Share them with our friend's if needed)..kudos for complicating things rather than simplifying them.


This was the final nail in the coffin for me bryan, utterly disappointed by the lack of fixes since 2 years and now with this paying monthly subscription idea. I know it really doesn't matter but u just lost me as a customer V&H. Hey Bryan Thank you for trying brother, much appreciated. Wishing u the best as always


FP3 #NEVERAGAIN

Power Vision here i come

P.s.
Yo, V&H bosses..ur looking at Bryan strangely huh? tell u what, let's play a game..Guess what finger I'm holding up.! Also plz stick ur subscription idea up one of ur exhuast's. Pro Pipe maybe.

'Good day gentleman.

 

Update on a getting ABS bleed function?

Thanks

 

+1

thanks for any updates!

 

Had a long discussion about it at last week's meeting, and I need to sit down with my boss to lock down the Marketing sheet for the Electronics head.

 

Good News you're making head-way!

fyi, This is a close competitor for the ABS functionality, except Code: READ does so much more...... (plus I don't need a dedicated android tablet!)

Always good to keep a finger on the pulse of your competitors etc.

 

Bryan,

What management is suggesting with a subscription based service to access their own personal maps/devices might come across as a bit greedy. I understand there is extra overhead but it's minimal and the infrastructure is already in place. If they don't want to provide the service free of charge to people who have purchased the FP3 then they should consider releasing desktop software for the end user, so that you are comparable with the likes of other dyno tuning products.

Another idea: give existing users free 6 month access w/ the option of continuing a paid subscription. Give new buyers an included 12 months w/ their purchase. Make what you offer online WORTH it.

Give users who purchase a wide band kit online access. I would have purchased the kit myself but since I'm not a dealer, I'd have no access online. And as much as I love using my iphone, it's too limited.

But to directly answer you as on price, maybe $1.99 a month. I know i wouldn't pay over that amount for my own personal use, and feel no one should have to pay it at all. I think what they are no understanding is the reason this is being asked for is because they offer no desktop; app, and the mobile apps are too limited (can't paste copy/paste multiple cells, etc.).

 

One question. Can a fp3 have its vin lock removed ?

I thought it was permanently locked once paired with your bike. I asked because there is an eBay user claiming you can call and get the lock removed by v&h.

Does not pass the smell test IMOP.

Can you confirm if my understanding is correct?

 

Correct, you cannot remove the VIN lock on any FP3. Now if it was plugged in to look at live data, and a tune was never flashed to the bike, then it remains unlocked....though I would hardly doubt that's the case. Don't buy it, sounds sketch.

Bryan
