Default Trying to understand how hondata works!

what do you use the rom editor for? i thought the tuning software does everthing, or you have to first tune then save it and then write it? why would you need the pocket programer?

thanks for any help

You need the programmer to put the program on the EPROM.

ok so if you want to do your own tuning, you gotta have the programmer? If not, you cant make any changes what soever with the base maps?

If you want to do your own tuning, You need Hondata 4b to have a legit copy of Rom editor, and the programmer.

I think Dustin is a covert undercover op for Hondata. He always mentions the legality of the hondata software.

Nah, I'm just a little annoyed with the number of people that have asked me to give them the password to the Rom editor software so they don't have to purchase it themselves.

Yea, I had some guy last week, new to this board tell me he was gonna look at my maps and help me figure out my hesitation problem. He wanted a copy of Romeditor to go with my maps. I told him no and sent him image files of my maps.

Have not heard back from him! Figured as much. Told me he doesn't work on Hondata stuff but has all this experience with other EMS companies and tuning them. Em....maybe he got busy but sounds like a software scammer to me. I won't mention his name in case he was legit but he never did respond to 2 of my emails after that.

Glad I didn't need him to figure this stuff out!

i plan on going half with my buddy and one of us will get a 4b and the other will get a 3b. So i want to make sure we don't occur any extra cost in programing the 3b. does the programmer come with the 4b or is that separate?

You have to purchase the programmer separately.

then why do the say on the website that the "Stage 2 - Full tunability by dealer or Stage 4 owner". They should include that it requires a $270 programer. How are you able to tune the 4b with out the programer?

sorry for so many questions. tring to learn

you can tune without the programmer but it will be useless cause you need the programmer to actually make the chip!!
