Your car is in "valet mode". Here's what you do-

Unlock the car with the key fob.
Open drivers door.
Hold down unlock button on keyfob. (five seconds I think)

That should put the alarm back into normal mode.

So the UTEC is not tuned LIVE...???

lilsix · 04-06-2005, 11:46 PM

I cant get the utec to pull up in hyperterminal. Driving me freakin crazy. I've hit every button on my keyboard and still nothing happens. I am using a home pc with 9V batt. I just want to download the base stage 2 map.

STIDevildog · 06-06-2005, 03:15 AM

black05. The reason it fails and says corrupt is after you hit ctrl + U ,you need to hit enter again then send text file. You are sending when the utec is not ready.

oops old post.

make sure after you set up your initial hyperterminal connection you configure the port. On my computer when I first made a new hyperterminal connection I could only change the speed and turn off flow control. After the terminal pops up I had to hit properties and change it to vt100. Everything worked after that.

Configure your port settings to those in the Utec manual.

kccobra · 07-12-2005, 11:51 AM

Does anyone have some good maps for an 2005 sti.

Heres what I have on my car.

Invidia turbo back race exhaust
Invidia up pipe
sti utec
k&n intake

and thats about it. I would like a map that would make about 500 horse with the things listed.... JOKING!!

Anyway Anyone have a decent map. I searched the forum and didnt find what I was looking for.

Thanks, this is my first post so be gentle.+

impreza03WRX · 07-19-2005, 11:57 PM

Problem Solved..thx

I just got the UTEC remote map switch. I plugged it into the UTEC, turned on the car, and went into my Dashboard. Turn the tiny utec red switch, and it cycles through the maps. ok, then I pushed the buttons on the remote switch to try and cycle through the maps. The dashboard shows no change in the maps. Should it say what map it is on when I click the remote buttons? I tried it with the UTEC on position 0. Ideas? Anything more has to be done besides plugging the switch in? I got this from another person, so I don't have any instructions for it.

Thanks

edit : I am not using launch control, so I guess the software doesnt matter, according to the manual for the UTEC.

I also cant save maps to it from my PC. I tried to use UTECedit and re save. could it be hypterterminal settings?

_sti_05 · 08-08-2005, 03:49 PM

how do u pull logs from the utec onto a laptop?

lowblow · 08-08-2005, 04:32 PM

First you will probably need a serial to usb converter...

Then run logger 1 (Shift, 1), and select transfer ->capture text and select a folder to save it to...when you are done, go to transfer-> capture text -> stop.

All this info is in the manual btw.

Also you need to have the laptop in the car at the time of the logging. The UTEC wont save a log.

CarWidow · 08-11-2005, 10:41 AM

anyone have a current link to the map comparison tool referred to on the first page of this thread? that one is D-E-D. i can't find the sucker anywhere...

grimm5577 · 09-06-2005, 12:28 PM

the links don't seem to work, and TXS doesn't seem to have the manual online anymore.. any updates to this?

CarWidow · 09-06-2005, 12:57 PM

the manual is online- i think it's under software upgrades...

silversurf · 09-11-2005, 12:22 PM

I recently have had problems with connecting to my UTEC. I checked my connections, reread the manual, rechecked everything in the car, tried hitting various keys and still no start screen. I'm thinking when I removed some programs off my labtop that it deleted files that I need from hyperterminal. Has anyone else had this problem? Can anyone help me out?

fatray · 09-12-2005, 01:04 AM

Try connecting utec to laptop then starting car with hyperterminal running. Then press the x key, just make sure the hyperterminal window is highlighted when pressing x. If that dosn't work try turning off car and starting again. Works for me.

CarWidow · 09-14-2005, 08:44 AM

sometimes my screen doesn't come right up- try pressing E (edit maps) and see if that works...

Crazykev · 09-14-2005, 03:41 PM

Press enter or ESC if the screen is blank when you link up.

sooshimon · 09-17-2005, 12:41 PM

So I've read the Manual about 24 times and been through the forums.

My problem: Uploading maps onto the UTEC. Yes, I am doing transfer -> send text file, pressing enter before i do it and all that. As I try to upload, it'll stop at about 10% and say Checksum Error File Corrupt. I have Version 4.2c

Any other ideas other than the ones already posted on this thread?

dust12 · 09-18-2005, 02:59 PM

Not that this will help your problem, but you may as well upgrade to the new version 5.0

Dooginfif20 · 09-22-2005, 01:10 AM

ok i have a couple questions here. i just bought a utec off my friend and i tried to install it today. everything went in really easy and i was able to hook it up start my car and drive normally because the map select switch was at 0 meaing stock mode. now he has an 02 and i have an 05 and i was told that it doesnt matter because stock mode is stock mode. is this true? also after i ran my car for a littler bit drove around and parked then returned to leave again my car was acting dumb and was sputtering pretty bad. i was thinking that it was a case of a bad ground cause i didnt think that the ground was too great anyways. anyone else have this problem before?

lowblow · 09-22-2005, 07:31 AM

You need a revision 6b or higher for an 05 WRX...if you don't have that, then you need to sell it and get the correct one. The revision number is on the green board under the cover near the switches. Another way to tell is if you have only two toggle switches on the board and not 7...

Your transfer speeds from your computer to the Utec may be too high. Are you using a USB to serial adapter? If so you may have to go in your program manager and double click on that connection and move the slider bar to the slowest speed.

SolidSnake · 10-16-2005, 05:03 PM

My question is will the UTEC give me any better gas mileage? If it does cool and I can use it as an excuse to tell the wifey I am getting it.

-I have a 04' STi, with a TB exhaust, intake, and BOV.
