Procal Tune versions changes

[RoverDude]

There is no public change log for the modules associated with the Procal File Tune.

I recently plugged my unit back into the windows app and I notes new iteration of the tunes based on its file name.

I do not know if this newer version removes the Start stop being able to be permanently turned off
I am looking anyone's insight to when the Start Stop was removed. i am looking to crowdsource this information)
Clearly I do not want to update the installed tune if the update just removes a feature.
If anyone knows what do the SW: and Match mean?

Below is from a 2.7 4door if that matters

My understanding was ASS and Rev Matching were removed in June 2024, for MY23 and higher only.

But - proceed at your own risk.

Follow up
Has anyone with a MY21 or MY22 updated and lost that feature.
Is anyone have MB3A-FPB-27A-DJF installed, and is start stop disabled?

If you update, you're most likely to lose valuable settings like Brian mentions. I wouldn't. I have a 23 and it's never getting updated, since I still have the ASS setting remember. I also tell service when I bring it in NOT to update if they think they want to.

EDIT: And yes, there have been people on here that have updated and reported they lost those features. Some were done at service, which is why I say not to.

Out of curiosity and you plugged the ProCal into your car then go to module info, what versions does it show currently installed on the vehicle?

You're running a 2.3
This information be useful for others as well. Knowing at least up to this version,- HC should still have the start stop.

I bought mine in late July/early August of 2023 right when they came out for the 23's. (Maybe it was just the 2.3L only.) Then it seemed like a couple months later we heard they were losing ASS setting and rev matching. I don't recall exactly when those versions came out, but it seems like it was starting in September/October 23? But maybe it was when the 24's came out a year later and became retroactive. I don't recall exactly but I know I slipped right under the cutoff.

It’s all by build date.
Newer updates don’t necessarily change the way the auto/start stop function works on every Bronco.

I’ve installed a handful over the last year. Some will still have the memory function with the newest update for that specific Bronco, others won’t.

That being said, I don’t have anyway to narrow down or definitively say which will or won’t. I think that’ll be pretty difficult find. But hopefully if enough people look at theirs, you’ll be able to get an idea.

If I had to guess, I’d say 21 - early/mid 23 will most likely still have it regardless if you update, anything after I don’t know though.

I installed the Procal tune on my 23 2.7 Sas back in Nov 2024. ASS is disabled with that original tune install. I was looking at my Procal software the other day and my VIN and stock tune is missing so I ran the updated but it's still missing so I reached out to FPP and waiting to hear back.

My truck is a Jan 2023 build.

I am recording all this in spreadsheet. (will give a link when I have 10+ vehicles)
Clearly the more data the better.
