Tuneboy Tune and maps for the 1299

I hope this isn't an indication that Ducati has added some kind of ECU overwrite protection on the 1299 ECU. There are workarounds to such protections, but how is far beyond my understanding.

When the ECU to my Audi RS6 was reflashed, the tuner had to do it in small chunks, because Audi has some sort of ECU protector that shuts it down if it's being overwritten for longer than a set period of time (maybe 30 seconds or something like that).

Audi now owns Ducati; it's possible they started write-protecting the ECUs. Tuneboy needs to determine this for certain before releasing 1299 files; imagine the uproar if everyone who tries to overwrite 1299 ECUs ends up bricking it....

I beleive Tuneboy tested their initial 1299 stuff over a month ago on a bike in Germany so hopefully that's not the case and I'm sure they would be aware of any issues.

The guy I'm using for tuning who has some dialogue with Tuneboy is still waiting for the 1299 files (as we all are!), hence I wondered if they'd flashed an old file by mistake. Anyway, glad it's sorted, hopefully an isolated incident.

I hope it gets sorted for you. Does this mean that your shop tried to flash a 1299 with 1199 files? Or was there something else going on?

I would be guessing if the file was a 1199 file or specific for the 1299. The understanding is it was for the 1299, but I cannot comment on if TuneBoy just provided a modified 1199 file or something specific to the 1299.

UPDATE:

Talked with shop today and there is another issue. The bike does run when sitting in neutral, however when the bike is placed into gear the dash freaks out. This is preventing the tuning of the bike. They have another Team View session tonight to see if they can work through this issue. There is definitely something different with ECU design on the 1299s.

well that sucks. but on the other hand, if it's a computer, it can be hacked/reverse engineered. Eurocharged (who did my Audi) found that workaround to Audi's ECU flash protection. And when Nissan debuted the R35 GT-R in 2010, they claimed the ECU was hack-proof. Tuners found ways to reflash and tune the ECU within months.

So in the end, all we need is to be a bit patient

trust me there's more clever guy's out there cracking ECU'S than at Audi, guy in uk at hilltop motorcycles is nothing short of genius, i get my 1299 next week and its the first place its going, he flattens out the emmisions drop at 5k which happens to nearly all bike in order to meet current laws plus loads more usable power, hes just done my 2015 BMW GS 121 bhp at the rear wheel from its base run of 100bhp, he's done well over 500 GS'S in the last 2 years alone

my gs with full titanium arkra

yes i know its a panni forum,,,sorry

It's been promised several times now, been told 'tomorrow' a few too many times. Beginning to wonder if Tuneboy have a serious flaw with their software that they're struggling to correct.

UPDATE!

Bike troubles are now over! They have successfully created a working base map and applied a custom trim to bike. I imagine you will now be notified there is something that exists as Wayne (TuneBoy) now has the trim file based on my bike.

merry Christmas guys, mine has been worked on all day here in Australia with tuneboy so they should start to flow to you US boys

Hey Steveo, did you receive by email or in the post? I can't find the tunes on their website or any news of them on their Facebook page.

You will need to run the WB01_Update to update the microcode in the WB-01. Connect your WB-01 via USB to your PC, wait until the MTS light starts to blink then run the Update.

The tunes directory has a couple of txt files. One has info on the throttle table switching feature and the other has some notes on the map files.

Very interesting that the Tuneboy notes for the 1299 imply that ALL the standard Ducati ECU tunes/settings (Race, Sport, Wet, Engine High, Engine Med, Engine Low) RESTRICT power in the first 3 gears. I've not heard that before, but I guess it's something that could only be discovered by unlocking the ECU. Does anyone have any more info on this?

Steveo · Jul 5, 2015

No, but it scares me, enough power as it is!

kismetcapitan · Jul 5, 2015

should be interesting to try out; with the stock map and exhaust I can't keep the front end down at WOT as it is, even with the wheelie control.

This tuneboy map may not cut it. Best get a 1399.

Eric Dorn at EDR noted this a few months ago on a dyno chart he posted for a Panigale.

Hello Steveo
The link is empty, did they remove the tuneboy files for the 1299 S, where can I find them?

Cheers Martin
