Procal vs. flashcal
Ok...maybe I'm just bad at searching today so feel free to point me to previous threads if they exist... If not...other than display which looks way easier to work with on flashcal.....does one do something the other doesn't (specifically on a 2015 rubicon jku)

I was going back and forth and went with the flashcal, it does more things like read codes etc that the Procal does not. Plus the interface is easier to use. One positive of the procal is the wheel centering mode.

Bought a flashcal recently after misplacing my procal. Couldn't get the tpms disable to work (the only reason for buying it). Wasted almost 2 weeks bouncing back and forth between several different 'techs', they would each just ignore further emails from me because they had no clue why it wasn't working. I was finally told that the flashcal/flashpaq do not adjust or turn off tpms on the JK. Yep, the current techs working for superchips had no clue that JK's have had the tpms disable feature since they first went into production, what, 7 or 8 years ago?
Asked for a refund, which they did not bother even replying to.
Then the second time I tried for a refund, I got a tech who didn't have his head stuck up his ass and the tpms function went through. What a joke. Wish I had just gone with another procal!!!

Wasn't an update issue, my Spark screen said it was fully up to date with no add-ons available. TPMS simply was not an option. As I said, their clueless techs even told me that the tpms was not available because it is not an option for jeep jk's. The final tech ended up writing a file and pushing it to my flashcal. Just piss poor customer service and tech support all along the way.

on 07 and newer jk's you can read your codes by turning your key on and off 3x and ending with it in the on position. do a google search. but start with your key in the off position. Push in on the key and turn it to the last position just before the vehicle starts (if you engage the starter you went too far) back to off do this three times and stop in the on position and you can read your codes on odometer. YOu have to do it fast and takes some practice. The codes display quickly so be prepared to write them down. I have had several people tell me this won't work on their vehicles but when I tried it on their vehicles it works. Just have to be fast and smooth with turning the key on and off and ending on the on position. You need to push the key inwards as well or you cant be fast and smooth.
