I don't know if this has ever been answered but how long does the actual reflash take? After the techline calls the dealership back, is it just hook it up to a computer and a few seconds later its done?

 

yes technically its about 15-30 mins but they have to charge you for 1hr of labor.

 

A full VCI flash is typically around 10-15 minutes on the P12..

 

Well I took my car in at 8am this morning and went after work to pick it up and it wasn't outside...this was after 11 pm

 

Mine took 15 minutes. I asked him how much for just the relfash and he told me 69cdn

 

so can u just go there and get the reflash or will they only give it to people who brought the stg kit, i have the intense kit which is basically the same thing i just want the stg 2 reflash.

 

anyone can get the reflash

 

Sweet, do you need a code or do you just ask for the stage 2 reflash and they give it to you for like $100????

 

I'm interested in knowing if I can get the flash without the kit aswell.

 

Jamie you have to give me the name of the tech that did it and where Im gonna go get mine done too.

 

Please let us know if you can get JUST the reflash, I would love to try this with the intense kit, making 270 then getting an extra 500rpm...hmmm

 

prolly cuz they were out joy riding in it during their lunch break

 

Yes just call your dealership and tell them you want the stage 2 reflash for your car. 70 bucks is what I was quoted.

 

Albert at Mews does an awesome job! He showed me everything. He should be able to do it in 3 hours including some **** around. Do it buddy, do it!

 

Sweet that's exactly what I will do, well in 3 months when I get out of this forsaken place known as Kuwait, ahhhh...

 

Being deployed sucks. I was doing the same thing in Afghanistan. I could only dispose of so many bombs, landmines, etc without getting bored. I bought my SS/SC when I got back!

 

I know this might be a stupid question but does anyone know if there is a reflash that can be done on the LS or base models? I mean for instance to make my car see boost?

maybe a 2 bar sensor reflash or something?

Sorry if thats a dumb question, I just really have no clue.

 

i don't think the dealer would even try to do it.

 

Uhh...you can't get the reflash without buying the kit. Gm issues each kit a ONE TIME USE CODE, which you need in order to get the flash done...think about it...

 

My dealership said otherwise. Il have to find out for sure.

 

i have to agree techline who gives vci # says otherwise also

 

Then why would GM issue Code's with the kits? And why would it say in the install instructions that the PARTEC line or w.e. needs the code before they authorize the vci??? For fun??? Sorry ppl...if your dealer is telling you this...they're dumb and/or doing something illegal

 

I understand what your saying. Its possible for the dealership to re-use the same VIN number that I had to produce the VCI in order to reflash. Is it illegal? I don't know. Im waiting for a call from my tech to make sure.

 

Proof:



I understand what you're saying aswell...and believe me, i wish it were possible I'm sure that they'd allow the same VIN to be reflashed (ie. if the ECU didnt respond to the flash) but if a tech was redistributing it...thats called FRAUD. Not only would the tech AND dealership be in serious ****... if he hooked YOU up: you are also in serious ****
