Tomtune with SCT X4:
first do your research with the product you choose. Tom uses SCT and advised me to use the X4 per my vehicle specs. X4 7015
Once you receive your product, locate ECU Strategy code within the vehicle info section of the X4.
Email Tom this strategy along with the serial number of the X4 devise.
Tom will reply with links to download software and a baseline TUNE for your vehicle. The software interface is easy to use and doesn't require Tom to hold your hand through the process. But i will say, for the mac users, get windows 7. I did a parallels WIN7 machine. All drivers and software for X4 device are supported in WIN7.
My first experience with downloading TOMtune to my vehicle was an error code 110AD. I contacted SCT per Toms advise and they quickly resolved the problem. It turned out that my X4 required a newer version of firmware for the 2014 Focus. They did a team viewer session to update. I downloaded Toms tune successfully.
FYI: the X4 device will upload your factory tune and store on the device. I would make a backup on your hard drive.
I was instantly amused with the changes in vehicle performance. Even with the SE and its little 160hp engine. I mainly got this vehicle for fuel effenciency, but wanted to maximize the "fun" factor without rebuilding the engine so to speak.
After a little driving time with TOMtune, he suggests some data logging. Which he supports via team viewer. He will set up parameters log file for what he needs to optimize your tune and also give you a little tutorial of how the software works.
note: Please read how to use your X4 devise with data logging. There are many threads in this forum to get you through this.
Save data log and give it a name other than DATA or LOG. Also when sending files to TOM do not put in the subject line DATA or LOG. Do not send him any images. in fact, always start your message with your tune file name Tom has given you followed by the serial number of the X4. Then proceed with your comments. Tom will then guide you to what your every demand and needs are for your vehicle.
I must say that i am very happy with his customer support. He does have a day job and travels. So there may be delays in response time. But he gets it done.
Tom, thank you.
Happy New Year everyone!
The quickest path to FAST!
