IMPORTANT NOTE TO ALL 3-BUTTON AND EARLY STYLE 5 BUTTON SUPERCHIPS FLASHPAQ BUYERS,
CONCERNING ALL NEW OR USED 3-BUTTON OR EARLY 5 BUTTON STYLE PROGRAMMERS.
THIS INFORMATION PERTAINS TO ALL OF THE FOLLOWING 3-BUTTON STYLE AND EARLY 5 BUTTON STYLE
AND CORTEX PROGRAMMER PART NUMBERS:
1805,1808,1815,1825, 2805, 2808, 2815, 2825, 3805, 3808, 3815, AND 3825, and 5 button 1855, 1858,
1865, 1868, 1950, 2855, 2858, 2865, 2950, 3855, 3865, 3875, and 3950.
If you service your vehicle yourself, or the vehicle goes to a local shop that does NOT flash ecu/pcm’s to new
calibrations, this style of programmer will work fine, for you.
If your vehicle does NOT go to a dealer, or service center for any type of service, the use of this style of
programmer should be a great purchase at an excellent price and you can used as normal. It will simply NOT
be supported by Superchips with new factory calibrations, as they are released from the OEM
(original equipment manufacturer).
If your vehicle has been to a dealer, or service center since February 1st 2015, you will most likely NOT want to
purchase this or any other 3 button or early style 5 button programmer, either new, or used. The reason for
this is, that Superchips still supports this style programmer, concerning questions, or operational issues, but
are no longer putting new vehicle calibrations files into this platform of tuning unit. What this means is, if your
vehicle has been to a dealer, or service center, that is capable of re-flashing the ecu/pcm in your vehicle with
the newest calibrations from the OEM, you will NOT be able to use this style of 3 button programmer, as the
new calibrations files will NOT be supported with this platform. What you will need do, is to identify which newer
SUPERCHIPS 5 button style flashpaq, F4 style, or the newest F5 programmer that will work for your vehicle.
These programmers are supported with new calibrations files, as they are released from the OEM.
Please view our other programmer listings to find the correct programmer in a newer style 5-button flashpaq,
F4 or F5 style programmer, subject to availability, as our stock varies daily. Let us know, if you do not see
what you need. We will be happy to assist, to let you know if we can help with an awesome product at a great
price. We do not always sell new, but we GUARANTEE every programmer is unlocked. All F4 and F5
programmers that we list will have all of Superchips latest firmware, and calibrations files that are available,
just prior to shipping to you.
ALSO PLEASE NOTE: MAX MICROTUNERS ARE NO LONGER SUPPORTED, AND ARE VIRTUALLY UN-USABLE,
UNLESS YOUR VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN TO A DEALER OR SERVICE CENTER SINCE THE YEAR 2001. IF IT
HAS, THE TUNING FILES WILL NOT BE IN THE PROGRAMMER. THEY ARE NOT UPDATEABLE TO THE NEW
CALIBRATIONS FILES, BY ANY MEANS.
Thank you for your attention to this issue.
