TCI’s New Wireless Bluetooth Transmission Controller
The EZ TCU from TCI is a time-proven solution
that has gained many favorable reviews. It allows you to customize modern
transmissions in accordance with your requirements without spending money in
professional tuning companies. This system is attached to the stock transmission
electronics, handing you 100% control over the transmission operation. One of
the main advantages of this solution is that it is unnecessary to be a
professional technician to use it properly and to introduce any changes
necessary to tune the gear shifting mechanism as needed. The EZ TCU permits
considerable freedom of action when it comes to adjustment of gearbox
parameters, as you can do almost everything - from changing shift points and
shift firmness to toggling between various operating modes.
Now this powerful tool is complemented by the easy-to-install
Bluetooth controlling device. After the system is wired up and you have
installed the application, it is necessary to press the button on the Bluetooth
module and then synchronize it with your cellphone. The next step is to start
up the ignition, and that’s it. Previously, the EZ TCU was set up with the help
of a portable device that connects to the unit. Now, thanks to the new product,
you don’t have to bother yourself about installing the portable device.
TCI did a good job with the application. It is amazingly easy to operate. After the setup completion, the device will upload the relevant data to the TCU, and you can start tuning your gearbox unit. This new product allows you to adjust even the most subtle areas of the gearbox operation – from shift aggressiveness to torque converter clutch (TCC) lock-up speed, and many more. It’s hard to believe that you can change all these parameters with the help of your cellphone. In addition, it is also possible to monitor live data from the gearbox, which is relevant for its proper operation.
Another remarkable feature of this solution is an anti-theft mode. This feature can also be activated with the help of your cellphone. When this mode is engaged, a special relay switches off the fuel pump (or other elements such as ignition source or starter) and keeps it deactivated. Thanks to this smart feature, your car won’t be of any use for thieves. When it is time to get behind the wheel, you should simply disengage the anti-theft mode.
