Must the PPC be connected to the car?The PPC unit is your own personal tool to load the tuning program to your vehicle and to upgrade the program when you get your free upgrades from us. It will also let you return the car to its original state.
The PPC only needs to be connected to the car when performing these tasks. When driving the car the PPC unit should be disconnected from the car, and you are free to store it wherever you want.

Software updatesAs a PPC customer you will receive free software updates.
The updates are developed when the car manufacturor changes original software or makes other general improvements.
You will be informed via e-mail about major changes.
If your car has been reset to original condition during service and you have received new software from the manufacturer, the message "read car" will probably appear when you try to load a BSR tuning system.
This is to stop you fram overwriting the updated software using the older version. When you have "read the car" and sent us the updated file we will adapt our tuning file to work with the new software. You will receive an e-mail when the new software is ready for download.

Updating the softwareWith BSR´s unique PPC system you can keep your car´s software updated. The car manufacturers update the original software as often as 4-12 times/year. Every time you visit the workshop there is a possibility that the car get an updated software. It´s now the PPC technology shows one of its strongest advantages!
How does it work?
Each PPC contains up to 70 different tuning files and to each tuning file there is matching original file. When connecting PPC to the car PPC checks which of these files that´s in your car, then it automatically chooses a matching tuning and original file. This system is unique and makes it possible for you to always have access to the latest software available, no other tuning system has this function.
What to do if the workshop updated the software
When your brand workshop has updated the software of the car, for example when servicing the car, you connect PPC to the car. PPC now checks the software automatically and chooses a tuning file that matches the original file. If PPC doesn't recognize the new file, PPC will show the message "Read car?" in the display. The message means that this software isn't stored in PPC. Then you connect PPC to Internet to download the latest software from BSR's server. If this software contrary to expectation doesn't exist on BSR's server you complete the Read car instruction and send the program to BSR´s server via Internet. Short after this our technicians start producing a new software that fits the new original file. After a few days (1-5 working days) you will get an e-mail from us telling you that there is a new software available for downloading.
To send software to us or download new software is extremely simple. You do this by clicking once in the PPC Sync program.
How often?
Car manufacturers often hurry off with releasing new models and the result is that it is necessary with some development work even after the models have reached the customers. There can also be some bugs or other mistakes.
