    Anyone out there have any maps to download or know how to use the included program. I've got it installed, just don't have any documentation to help use all this stuff.

    Hey guys any development for 2009+. I would like to know if they working on it or not. We've been said it was just about to be avalaible but it was years ago. I know the problem is supposed to be the harness but company like unichip know have a harness compatible so. Just want to know cause i'll find another way.

    I have already described how to adapt the UCON into the later models. UniChip i believe is owned by Tyco or something like that. They made the plugs shortly after the '09's came out. You could always get a Unichip just for the plugs.....but that has its own inherent difficulties.

    Adding in GM plugs into the OEM harness, then having a jumper harness to adapt the UCON to the GM plugs, would be the "easiest" way.

    Thanks TOR but i'm really looking for a plug and play solution.

    Base on your knowledge and experience, what do you think about the UNICHIP. I know you need to have acess to an official retailer that can program it but there is one close to me and based on evertything i've read, except the fact it's not an open tune, it seems to be a good product.

    In fact i'm looking to buy the chip, the connectors and the software package so i'll be able to tune it myself. A module can be add to control a 7th injector. Even with all those options, the price will be Under the UCON.

    Effectively, it becomes plug n play, but I know what you mean.

    How you tune the UCON? Send email to Gadget and ask a different map? Let's say if you change the headers or CAI.

    My speed dial guy for having dyno graphs on hand. I can't keep track of what 1GR changes his name to.

    Thanks, I've read this and XR-Underground's topic too. I've not found just TRD Supercharger and UCON/X-1 combo.

    URD should have that info. Usually, by that point, owners have already installed other mods first.

    The UCon is definitely not user friendly with custom tuning.

    This is correct. Unlike the X-1, which came before it, the UCON is shipped with the Lite version. Only a very few parameters can be modified. It is locked down otherwise.

    You have to contact URD to with what you have, for any hardware changes that are outside the bounds of its self tuning cability, then have them send you an update, or remotely update it.

    I.E. larger injectors. 7th injector. Meth injection....
