Great First Mod for Your 07-08 TL Plug & Play Preloaded with Base Maps for Out of the Box Power Bluetooth Compatible OBD2 Dongle Description Vehicle Fitment Technical Data Included About Hondata Warranty Install Guide Hondata FlashPro - 2007-2008 Acura TL (Base & Type-S) If you're building your 2007-2008 TL, the Hondata FlashPro is where you start, before the intake, before the exhaust, before any of it. All those bolt-ons promise power, but the only way to actually get it out of them is to tune the car, and that's exactly what the FlashPro does. It unlocks your ECU so you can tune around everything you add and get the most out of that J-series V6, whether you're in a Base TL or the Type-S. Add parts on the stock tune and you're leaving most of the gains on the table; add the FlashPro and your money actually shows up at the wheels. Why You Tune First Here's the logic. Your factory tune was written for a bone-stock TL, so the second you change how the engine breathes, that tune isn't the best one for your setup anymore. The FlashPro lets you (or your tuner) rewrite it to match what you've actually built, so your intake, exhaust, and the rest finally work together instead of fighting the stock calibration. That's why people call it the most important mod you can make, everything else just works better once it's on. What It Does The FlashPro tunes and datalogs your 2007-2008 TL, and it's about as straightforward as this stuff gets. You plug it into your laptop's USB and into the car's OBDII port, and you're in. It comes with Hondata's FlashPro Manager software (Windows based) so you can read your ECU and make changes, and from there you get live tuning, a range of calibrations to work from, and serious datalogging, both real-time and stored, so you can see exactly what your engine's doing. Best part: your factory ECU doesn't need to be modified for any of it. Nothing to cut, nothing permanent, it just talks to the stock computer. Get A Pro To Tune It Real talk before you dive in: yes, you can technically run this yourself, but we'd steer you toward a professional tuner to actually dial it in. FlashPro is a powerful tool, and a tune done without the right knowledge can hurt your engine instead of helping it. So use the FlashPro to get access and pull your datalogs, then get a tuner who knows these cars to build you a proper calibration. That's how you get real, safe results instead of guessing your way into a problem. Manual Or Automatic, And One Note For Auto Cars The FlashPro works on both manual and automatic 2007-2008 TLs, so you're covered either way. One heads-up if yours is an automatic: the auto ECU needs a small hardware modification for your cruise control to keep working after you're set up, and Hondata provides instructions for that mod. It's a known, documented step, nothing to worry about, just plan for it if you've got the automatic. Manual cars don't need it. Confirm Your ECU Since the Base and Type-S use different ECUs, it's worth a quick check that yours falls in range before you order. The Base TL ECUs run RDA-A82 through RDA-A84, and the Type-S ECUs run RDB-A02 through RDB-A63. Match yours to the right group and you're good to go. Running A 2006 TL With Navigation? One important heads-up if you've got a 2006 TL with the navigation system: those cars need a special jumper harness for the nav to keep working correctly with the FlashPro. It's a specific piece you'll need to source separately, and you can get it by reaching out to Hybrid Racing at [email protected]. So if your 2006 TL is nav-equipped, grab that jumper harness so your navigation stays happy after you're set up. Why Hondata Hondata's been the name in Honda and Acura engine tuning for years, and the FlashPro is their flagship. It's the tool the whole tuning world builds around for these cars, so whether you're bolt-on now or planning more later, it grows right along with your build instead of getting left behind. Key Features Tunes and datalogs the 2007-2008 Acura TL (Base and Type-S) Works with both manual and automatic transmissions Connects via laptop USB and the OBDII diagnostic port No factory ECU modification required to tune Live tuning capability Real-time and stored datalogging Includes FlashPro Manager Windows software with multiple calibrations Fits These Cars 2007-2008 Acura TL Base (ECU RDA-A82 through RDA-A84) 2007-2008 Acura TL Type-S (ECU RDB-A02 through RDB-A63) Manual and automatic transmissions (automatic needs a hardware mod for cruise control) Note: All FlashPro sales are final. FlashPro units are non-returnable because we can't verify if they've been married/locked to a vehicle. Once you flash a tune to your ECU, FlashPro locks to your ECU. You can unlock it to sell it or move it to another car, but you have to unlock it yourself through the FlashPro software. Get your car professionally tuned after you install FlashPro. Don't just load a base map and drive hard. Base maps are safe starting points, but they're not optimized for your specific car. If you're running serious modifications like a turbo, built motor, or aggressive cams, get it tuned on a dyno. Choose the right version for your use. FlashPro Race is for off-road and track use only. FlashPro CARB Legal is for street use in all 50 states. On automatic 2007-2008 TLs, the auto ECU requires a hardware modification for cruise control to function; Hondata provides instructions for it.
