How To Activate your bootmod3 License

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.

3a) OBD Agent on Laptop - Connect your laptop to the OBD port using ENET cable. Install Java JDK version 8 (link here). NOTE: JDK, not the JRE. Log into the bootmod3.net website by signing up for an account and download the OBD Agent using the button on the Vehicles screen. NOTE: Once again, Java 9 is NOT supported and you MUST download the JDK, not the JRE (Java Runtime Environment).

3b) OBD Agent on our WiFi device - 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. You can start a WIFI hotspot on your phone for the device to use as your hotspot's data connection, or, you can change the default WIFI settings on the WIFI device by following these instructions.

4) Ignition On and see gas gauge show tank level (while engine is OFF) and go to the BM3 website:

http://www.bootmod3.net

You'll see the VIN displayed. Click the VIN button and you'll be prompted for the activation key (in your email) and the DME readout file (which you should have from the bootmod3 DME unlock dealer). Once both are selected, click Activate.

Once activated you will see your VIN in the devices screen and a label on it indicating “OBD CONNECTED”. Activation is complete.

Click on the OTS Maps menu and choose an appropriate OTS Map for your modifications and octane and click GET TUNE. Go to My Maps, select the tune you chose and click the FLASH button.
