Fine tune your way to an accurate speedometer reading after large tire upgrades with the Superchips Flashcal F5! This system has a wide variety of easy-to-use options and has the ability to be upgraded if desired! www.extremeterrain.com/superch...
Recalibrate the Speedometer. The Superchips Flashcal F5 is a recalibration tool designed to reprogram the stock computer to accurately reflect any drivetrain changes that have been made to a JK Wrangler. The sleek interface provides easy access to speedometer corrections to account for larger tires (26”-42”) or gear axle ratio modifications (up to a 5.38 ratio), TMPS and electric accessory changes and also serves as a handy engine diagnostic reader should any dash warning lights illuminate. If you have or will be changing the gears or tires on your JK, this tool is a must-have.
Easy to Use. The Superchips Flashcal F5 makes recalibrating your JK Wrangler effortless. Simply plug it into the OBD II port and follow the on screen prompts. In 15 minutes or less, you can have your Jeep set up exactly how you need it.
Important Note. This Superchips Flashcal F5 does not provide any engine tuning or performance options, it only provides parameters to recalibrate drivetrain changes and certain other electrical functions (ex: accessory and TMPS options). For engine tuning and performance, you need a Superchips Flashpaq, or you can purchase additional software from Superchips that will enable the Flashcal to tune your engine.

I wanted to ask you a crazy question maybe you can answer 2017 jeep JK sport auto comes with a five speed right? but if you try to shift it manually it only show 1,2 and 3 why is that shouldn't you be able to shift 1,2,3,4 and 5 manually?
Hi have the same flashcal F5 with a 2012 JK but I don't have all that options like the running lights etc
I plugged mine in and it just went straight to clear dtc. It roughened up the idle too. It was weird.
good for 3.6 V6. I drive jeep Wrangler Sahara 2.8 CRD YEAR 2011
Will this work with 2016 jku locked PCM ?
I have a sport and upgraded to a rubicon transfer case, anyone know what those settings should be?
I had to switch to the F5 from later gen model and lost the ability to adjust my fan speed settings for my cooling system not a big fan of the F5
Silly question, but if I’m only using this unit for the tire setting do I have to leave it connected to the sensor, or can I disconnect if those are the tires I’m running. If I don’t have to mount the system and leave it in the vehicle I would prefer not to! Thanks in advance if anyone can send a quick message! 🇺🇸🤙🏽
Will the this unit allow me to delete the cat?
I’m guessing this can’t be used on multiple jeeps
What exactly can you customize for the lockers in a Rubicon? You glossed over that but didn’t go in to any detail
will you be able to travel as fast as you want if 4w high?
Where is the shift points?
Is this will work in my 99 Jeep tj manual?
Are all the tweaks permanent, or just while the programmer is plugged into the Jeep? Do you leave it plugged in and tucked away, or can you unplug it when you're done?
Permanent as long as you want it to be! You can remove the Flashcal from the Jeep if you do not want to keep it plugged in. -Zach
Hi there. Thanks for the video. I just bought a 2016 2-door automatic JK, and (like many) I love everything except the transmission. It is sloppy in downshifting as well as upshifting in the low gears (once in third and above, cruising it is fine). In the low gears, in stop n' go, it's sluggish, and RPMs jump from 1 to 3000 and back with just soft-touch acceleration/deceleration. Keeping the Jeep factory wheels and 3.21 gear ratio as is, do people still find this product helpful with what I describe? It sucks buying a virtually new car (12,000 mi), and having to mess with the transmission, but this thing is a dog. Any and all info is appreciated. Thanks
Your gear ratio is really low, that's why it feels like a dog. It's geared for economy, not performance.
Try recalabrating your throttle:1 turn key on but don't start jeep. 2 wait for all lights to go out except check engine light and seat belt light. 3 slowly push accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and back up slowly. 4 start jeep and see if you feel a difference. Some say yes some say no. I did it is bought my jeep used and it felt very underpowered did the recal and it feels fine now. No more lag when taking off from a stop.
What is the difference between the 2007 to 2011 and the 2012 and newer will it still work for a 2011 I found one online but it says 2012 and newer and I have a 2011 I'm wondering what Would be the difference can you tell me
Different engine
Would you put a tape measure to your tires or go by what it says on the tire ?
What it says 😂
Tape measure. What it says on the side is almost never exactly right.
Is this worth buying for a manual trans jk ? Seems like most of the options only benefit automatics. Im just looking for a tuner for increased hp. Any suggestions 🙏🙏
Same did you ever figure this out?
Can I use this more than once on multiple JKUs?
No. You'll need to remove the fist tune from the vehicle to tune a different vehicle
say you had this done , then you put a new battery in , do you have to recalibrate the computer again?
You will not have to recalibrate the Jeeps ECU again after swapping batteries. -Zach
Thanks Zach .
If I got my flash cal from a friend how can I reset my flash cal to use it for my jeep?
You can't. You have to buy a separate licence code once it's been registered to a specific Jeeps ECU. The additional subscription cost $100 per jeep, so I hope you didn't over pay for a system that won't work without it.
Can the backup camera be programmed with this?
Good question!
It will not disable the TPMS nor is there any download that will enable it to do so. Bad information.
TomKirkman1 go to off-road mode option and it will turn the TPMS off , this is what I do when I air down to go off road , so the annoying light doesn’t come on .
Just got this and yes there is.
Get a Jscan app for your phone its cheaper and you can turn off your TPMS and set tire size
This is necessary to have or i can go to a shop and pay for the upgrade?
If you never got an answer to this question, I had to have a shop program my ecu and the cost was $125 for the license for them to write to the ecu and they charged me another $125 labor.
does it turn off that stupid automatic door locking at 15MPH setting?
Isn’t that option available in the cars factory settings I know my 2016 gives you the option to disable it
Would you recommend the flashpac for more Perfermance been that my Jeep is all stock?
This Flashcal Calibrator will not increase horsepower or add tunes, it is mainly used for correcting your speedometer and shift points after the installation of larger tires or different gears. If you're looking to increase the performance of your Wrangler without a tune, I would definitely look into giving your Wrangler a general tune-up (fluid changes, new spark plugs and coil packs, replace any old sensors if needed) and adding some sort of cold air intake and higher-flowing exhaust system. -Zach
Damn, I can't even get the software to work to register mine..
me neither, did you figure anything out. I finally got I thought it updated then it says: error files missing, now don't know what the hell to do
Got mine (not from Ex Terrain) and returning it. Never worked correctly and will have to take it back to jeep dealer to restore and fix my odometer that has stopped working.
Rob Walker Where did you order it from?
Ur a troll
Do i have to let the chip on?
Nope
do you turn on your car?
No need to turn the vehicle on! All you have to do is click it forward til your accessories turn on and then press the "ok" button on the controller to get things going. -Jake
@@extremeterrain can you change idle while running?
3.8 JK
Installed tune 87 and now my jeep jk 2012 wont start. Anyone know a fix?
U fix your problem?
It had to send my PCM twice to Superchips but it did not fox the problem. I had to get it towed to an electrical mechanic. Somehow while installing the tune it fried some electrical component internally
Dam. U came out of pocket to fix the fried component?
Or did super chips take care of u ?
Mario Mendoza Superchips did reimburse me however it took some persistence. It was more of a pain having my Jeep sit for a month & having the ole lady drive me around. The only thing I use it for now is programming my 4.88 gears, tire size, and turning off the TPMS, I won’t install another tune again
So where is the "& install" part?
We incorporated the install right in line with the review portion of the video Scott. The install on the Flashcal F5 is pretty straight forward. It plugs directly into your OBDII port, turn your ignition to the "on" switch, and then press the "ok" button on the Flashcal to sync it up with your Jeep. Then when you need to update the Flashcal it easily plugs right into your PC using the provided USB cord! Overall I think the Flashcal is an awesome product for the amount of adjust-ability it offers. Let me know if you need anything else! -Jake
My bad. Indeed you did. I was waiting for the install of some additional required port which is not required. Well done!
No problem! Luckily the Flashcal F5 is a pretty straight forward product. If you have any other specific questions about the Flashcal just let me know! -Jake
Jake, I have a 2012 JK Sahara, 4" lift, 35" tires and Banks Air intake, and Dual Flowmaster Exhaust. I just purchased the Flashpaq and tuned it inputing my tire size. I cannot see any improvement. Actually it seems a little sluggish compared to the stock mode. Please advise. Thank you
@@troyhen13 you need to take a tape measure and measure from the ground in the middle of the tire to the top of the tire you may have 35" but they're most likely more like 33 3/4"
according to manufacture's webpage, it says you can NOT upgrade flashcal to flashpaq?
Donald Farnham you most certainly can.
