1) Place an order on www.protuningfreaks.com for your bootmod3 software license. You'll receive an activation email with your VIN number and your software activation key (i.e. serial number).
2) If you're activating using OBD UNLOCK you can proceed to activate right away provided we have added support for your vehicle. If your DME was unlocked for OBD programming on the bench at one of our authorized dealer locations you can use the 4MB DME readout file to activate instead of using the OBD unlock. If in doubt, try without using the file and if it activates without a file upload, it means we have OBD unlock support for your car and you're all set, otherwise use the 4mb file.

3b) OBD Agent (WiFi device version) - If using the bootmod3 WIFI Device it comes preconfigured and you simply power it up from a USB connection in your vehicle and connect it to the OBD port with the ENET cable. If not using the USB tethering to your phone the device will attempt to auto-connect to a WiFi network called bootmod3, password bootmod3, and then connect with the bootmod3 servers through your hotspot. You can start a WiFi hotspot on your phone for the bootmod3 WiFi device to use for server connectivity as well as offline mode where the phone is used basically as a wifi router to connect your phone and the device. If you feel the need to change the wifi settings on the device you can change the defaults by following these instructions.
