This CARB Compliant / Exempt FlashPro is fully emissions legal in all 50 states for street or race use.

If you live outside the United States, we cannot ship this product to you. This is because we are a USA Hondata dealer, and we can only sell to USA customers.

The Hondata FlashPro is THE best tuning, datalogging, and engine parameter viewing product for your Honda or Acura. It was developed by Hondata specifically for newer Honda vehicles. More than just an ECU performance tuner "chip", the FlashPro is the portable premier tuning and datalogging solution for your Acura RDX, and has the reliability, flexibility, and ease of use you've come to expect from Hondata products.

This Hondata CARB FlashPro ECU programmer allows some user tuning and datalogging, and includes a Windows based software called FlashProManager. The FlashPro connects from your laptop's USB port to your vehicles diagnostic port to provide ECU programming with a variety of calibrations with extensive real time and stored datalogging capabilities. There is no ECU to send in...just plug in, hit the program button, and you're ready to go!

Key Features:
  • Instant horsepower gains! Simply set it up, plug it into your Acura RDX, and load a Hondata approved CARB Compliant / Exempt tunes. The selection of CARB Compliant / Exempt tunes is limited.
  • Portable programmable ECU interface - not just an ECU performance tuner "chip" that you can't change.
  • Extremely simple installation - just connect to your OBD2 diagnostic port!
  • No ECU modification necessary.
  • NEW: Bluetooth enabled! Use your iOS or Android device to download the free Hondata Mobile app that can communicate with your Bluetooth enabled FlashPro. See engine operation from your mobile device, check and clear engine codes, monitor engine sensors, setup custom gauges, set your shift light, and more!
  • 20 hours on board datalogging memory!
  • Includes FlashProManager Windows software.
  • Check and clear diagnostic codes.
  • Custom laptop gauges.
  • Theft mitigation.
  • Security password.
  • Dual calibration storage - upload from one of two calibrations stored in the FlashPro. Perfect for switching between "low" and "high" power tunes.
  • Computer (laptop or desktop) with a USB 2.0 connection, and Microsoft Windows (32 and 64-bit Windows versions are both supported). Also works on Intel based Macs running Boot Camp or Parallels.
Other Features (varies depending on application):
  • Tune / change factory boost levels on 10th and 11th Gen 2016+ turbo Civics and newer turbo Hondas in general.
  • Full Throttle Shifting (especially good on factory turbo cars for eliminating the turbo lag between shifts).
  • VTEC window modification.
  • Speedometer adjustment.
  • Rev, launch and speed limiters can be adjusted.
  • In-Car Adjustable Launch RPM (without re-flashing).
  • Re-Flash Progress Indication via Tachometer.
  • Air-Fuel Ratio (Lambda Display) via Tachometer.
  • Map tracing and lambda overlay.
  • Fully functional cruise control (for vehicles equipped with cruise control).
  • Individual cylinder knock datalogging.
  • Improves Rev Hang.
  • Many more features in addition to these!

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a CARB Compliant / Exempt FlashPro?
A: "CARB" is the common term for the California Air Resources Board, which is responsible for determining if calibrations could affect emissions. A CARB Compliant / Exempt FlashPro, or just CARB FlashPro for short, only allows editing and uploading calibrations which are determined to not alter any emissions related parameters in the ECU. Within the USA, you must use the CARB FlashPro for any emissions controlled vehicle that is not being used for sanctioned off-road race use, even if you live outside California.

Q: Are there base calibrations?
A: Yes, for common part combinations, plus turbo / superchargers kits for popular applications. Keep in mind that CARB FlashPros usually have less base calibrations available.

Q: Do I need dyno tuning?
A: It shouldn't be necessary for common part combinations (intake, exhaust, etc.), but you still have the option of custom tuning if you wish to get a little more. Camshafts and race headers probably will need tuning to get the most of the them - it will depend on the manufacturer of the part. This question and answer does not apply to CARB FlashPros.

Q: Can I get rid of the MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor?
A: You can switch to a MAP based calibration (recommended for forced induction and/or cams). You need to still physically retain the MAF sensor because it also contains the IAT sensor. This question and answer does not apply to CARB FlashPros.

Q: Will this work on more than one vehicle?
A: The FlashPro is locked to one vehicle. It can be unlocked and transferred to another vehicle by returning the ECU to stock.

Q: So does that mean one Hondata FlashPro can only work with one ECU or car only? Which means I can't buy one FlashPro and use it together with a few of my buddies cars?
A: One ECU and vehicle at a time. You can unlock the FlashPro by returning the ECU to stock, and then transfer to another vehicle.

Q: Can I share the calibrations I make for my car?
A: Yes.

Q: Do I need the laptop in the vehicle to reflash the ECU?
A: No. The FlashPro can upload either with or without a laptop.

Q: Is there a VTEC window?
A: Yes. This means that VTEC will operate based on RPM and engine load. For example, a supercharger reflash could have a VTEC window from 3200 RPM - 6000 RPM. At full throttle, VTEC operates at 3200 RPM. At light throttle, VTEC operates at 6000 RPM, and for load between full and light the VTEC will shift between 3200 RPM and 6000 RPM.

Q: Any option of immobilizer control?
A: The immobilizer cannot be disabled. Hondata has implemented a number of features designed to protect the owner of the vehicle from theft, and one of these is not to allow the immobilizer to be disabled. This is going to be much less of an issue than previous products because the ECU does not need to be removed / swapped.

Q: If the ECU had been reflashed by another maker, can FlashPro still work?
A: Probably - we could tell you based off the ECU part & serial numbers plus the calibration ID. When you unlock the FlashPro it will only be reflashed back to a stock calibration.

Q: Will dealers need a software license?
A: No. Every FlashPro will come with the full tuning software (FlashProManager).

Q: Do I need to send my ECU to Hondata?
A: No. Your ECU does not need to be modified for FlashPro.

Fast shipping, and I got it cheaper than literally other site in the first 5 pages of Google had it listed! Customer support actually answered and was a real person! It was my first time ordering from them (though I've heard the name since I was a teenager) so I was a bit hesitant, but I'll definitely be coming back for my next few parts!
