NEW Flashcal+ Bronco Support!

[BobN - USAF]

Keep us updated on the error and solution please.
i had a hard time signing in. Kept saying did not recognize email or password re set password 3 times and it finally signed in?
Am waiting to see if your issue is resolved befor i attempt any changes.

I had a similar issue. Then I realized I likely had a forgotten account from when I had the original flashcalc. So I just put my email address and clicked forgot password.. Then I was in for the next part of the adventure.

Ok i am the first to admit i am tech challenged. A simple quick start paper included would have been nice. I did finally get it.
one question is there a way to enter demo mode after connection? I would like to explore while not connected to my vehicle.
Also does it store my stock configuration in case i want to return to stock? If so. How would i do it.
i really like instruction manuals. Easy ref to go to.
anyone add a goat mode to a 2025? How did it work?

Demo mode is only available if it doesntt find a device to connect to.
It does save your stock configuration before making any chnages.

Working on some videos to help explain things.

Thanks for the quick response. I will try it when I get home and if it doesn’t work I’ll call the support number!

Great news. Sorry about the initial hiccup!

Enjoy, and we're looking forward to more feedback.

Received mine today and as others stated, it failed to function. Called tech support and we forced the update. Seems to be working.
No more double honk! I also have baja and rock crawl modes installed!

OK, just received my Flashcal+ and am about to perform a force update to get the latest firmware before getting down to tweaking my Badlands settings.
Thanks for the quick shipping.
Excited to make some changes!

Question: is it safe to assume all of the changes currently available via the SC-MOD/app combo remain in effect after the changes are uploaded and the Flashcal+ is removed from the OBD port? In other words, after all of the changes have been saved and updated the SC-MOD can be removed, correct?

I have turned of like the double honk in my radio setting like one day after purchasing. The scan tool shows it ON? but it is still off?
Also, I have obx lux B&O it shows no sub or sub off don't remember which? does that mean i don;t have one or the one i have is not on?

Nice you have the same questions I do, especially the speaker thing, I just added sport mode and no double honk.

But the audio settings did have me wondering, but I never hit install on that section

Looking forward to those videos. Hopefully you make them simple for us technically challenged customers. Sort of like an idiots guide.

Houston, the Eagle has landed!
Received delivery of my Flashcal+ this afternoon. Had already downloaded the Flashcal+ App from the Apple App Store for my iPhone and set up an account with Superchips. The App is also available for Androids.

Followed the Flashcal+ Quick Start Guide found online at Holley > Flashcal+ > Tech Resources to get the SC-Mod dongle talking to my iPhone and Bronco. The dongle connected to my iPhone nearly instantly after plugging it into the OBD port, pressing the vehicle On button without my foot on the brake (dongle indicated double blue flashes meaning it was discoverable via Bluetooth), and then starting the FC+ App. Solid blue light on the dongle indicated it was connected to the iPhone Flashcal+ App via Bluetooth.

Then following @Superchips_Mktg advice, I immediately selected "Update Device." From the Settings menu (upper left corner of the FC+ App), scroll down to Device > Update Device. It took a few minutes to transfer a variety of new files, configs and modes to the dongle.

After that, it was just a matter of using the FC+ App to configure the available Vehicle Options the way I wanted them and uploading the changes via the App and the SC-Mod dongle to my Badlands. The FC+ App then indicated "In order for the updates to complete, please disconnect your device, close the application, plug your device back in, and restart the application."
Did so, then I shut off the Bronco, closed the app, and removed the dongle.
Started the Bronco and all changes were in effect.

Changes made:
• Added Sport Mode to my Badlands as God, Donald Frey, Paul Axelrad and Lee Iacocca originally intended for a Bronco. Sport Mode restores the throttle response that Normal Mode lacks, not to mention crisper shifts and stiffer steering at speeds. Woohoo!
I missed Sport Mode after having it for a decade in my last F-150.
Thank you Superchips!!

• Disabled the annoying double-honk when the fob leaves the Bronco while it's running.
• Tweaked the Power Point Timeout.
• Required a Panic button double press for the alarm.

All in all I'm very happy with the Superchips Flashcal+!
Great automated bang for the buck and without having to mess around with a flukey PC laptop and FORScan spreadsheets.

Looking forward to any additional functions Superchips adds to the Flashcal+ in the future.
(How 'bout Sport Mode defaulting to 2WD, and the current gear always displayed in the instrument cluster.)
