TCM Reflash? - 8/17/2007 7:00:28 AM    Hardcharger Posts: 161 Joined: 12/12/2006 Status: offline What exactly does this do?  Is it just a resetting of the internal computer so it learns new, aggressive driving habits?  Or is it an upgrade of some kind which costs 100x's what it took to develop?

I believe it's fair to say that both are small PCs that run a proprietary operating system. A flash for it updates the program that it runs, much like an update for windows or any other program. What it does is determined by the changes they made to the code.   Hopefully the code chages make it run better and/or tighter/faster. I wish I knew more about tapping into the programs and modifying them but alas its way over my head; I’m just a shade tree moder, an old dog not up to that learning challenge (in reply to Hardcharger) Post #: 3

All input would be appreciated.  One love... (in reply to MangoInTX) Post #: 4
