Default Is it worth getting chip flasher?

I'm really interested in deciding if its worth buying a chip flasher...

I have a 2012 Sport S with the six speed

The only reason I can think of for the chip flasher right now is I just upgraded from 255/75/17's to 285/70/17's so I imagine the speedo is off a tiny bit, but seeing I don't have an automatic there are no electronic shift points to tweak.

If you mean a programmer the only thing currently available for the 2011+ is the procal from AEV. It will fix your speedo and allow adjustments to tire pressures but there is no tune in it. Most members are waiting for a tuner and there is even a petition thread to get one but they have yet to crack the codes.

Ok thanks


That is what I was referring to





So I can change the wheel size and the low air warning setpoint

Can the dealer reset the tire size? It seems that I read that somewhere

I'm not sure if the dealer can or not but if they can I'm sure there is a thread about it. The procal does a few other things too but off hand I don't know what they are.

everything i've found about it is about automatic transmission shift points and tire size or daytime runningl lights

tire size is all that really interests me and even that isn't that big a deal considering i just moved up from 255/75/17 to 285/70/17
