Piasini Flash installed
- Thread starter magoo
- Start date
This statment is incorrect .....
Although it might be a pain in the ass(if you dont have a local sub-agent) If you require your stock ROM back to the ECU it can be done as per Piasini at NO more cost to the costomer. IMO unless its a MAJOR ECU update why have mazda flash you computer....
Besides a little birdie told me there will be a US spec mazdaspeed sporting the Piasini setup by weeks end the details might be intresting????

Yeah keep waiting(cricket); your info is all speculation at this time...
I haven't seen one single agent in the US that works with Piasini for the MS3 whom offers the reflash...
So my statement still stands true at this moment.
Kind of like the Cobb AP...promises...empty promises...(guitar)

I'm not saying its not possible to return to stock...but it will be very inconvenient since most will have to ship their ECU/PCM to a vendor to get it flashed or unflashed = shipping costs. Piasini directly offers this...but they are located in Europe... Anyone here in the US offering these capabilities today...?
I heard CP-E is working on something... Supposedly the Piasini flash is a package deal with their piggy-back computer... Seems like you have to use both... Again, CP-E is not a local vendor for most of us...and the details haven't even be released yet... Product still not released/available for purchase...
Not trying to argue...just trying to say that these are all empty promises...

I understand completely all your points.... I’m just at the same time trying to say there is other options...YES its inconvenient, YES is hard to get right NOW....You see a huge % of the community stroking COBB when they string ppl along on #S and vague statements on when there "GOD" AP flash release date.. ANY other vendor would be shut down for that behavior... I get that Piasini is a rough sell we will have proof soon enough.
Where would honda be if no one gave hondata a chance?

Did Hondata have the same issues/behavior (dragging people along)...?
I personally can't wait for something (tuning solution) to come out!!! I would prefer it to be Superchips personally since they are local to me and have a good track record. Though, I don't really have any optimism that they will release something soon.

Only 100 flashes until the ECU is bricked? Really?

Thats what I was wondering myself... If thats the case, Cobb AP might not be the way to go unless you plan to keep the car short term...
When you first get the AP...you will load stage 2..stage 1 or whatever onto your ECU as the "base map". From then on you can change maps via the 'real time maps'...you can load stage 1, stage 2, valet, whatever you want, as many times as you want and its realtime. The 100 flashes thing only refers to base map flashing. You will only do that when you first get it, if you upgrade from stage 1 to 2 etc, or unmarry the thing to take it into the dealer.
You sure about that? It would seem that any change would constitute writing to the memory, which is what seems to be limited to 100. I could see that on a piggyback, but not on the AP.
Found it...what I said is correct. The realtime flashing is really more of a 'realtime map switching" and does not count as a flash, as far as the ECU and flashing limits are concerned. Also Cobb has said that they have went over the flash limits before of an ECU but have never ran into any problems or 'bricking' an ecu...personally I'm not really worried about that aspect of it.
