How To Tune With Xodus POWERlink

 

POWERlink is the most intuitive, fun way to upgrade your engine and transmission with performance software. Our solution directly links your F150’s engine and transmission to your smartphone, writing over the factory software and unlocking monster power gains. It provides beautiful gauges for monitoring your truck’s performance on the fly. For more detailed analysis, you can log into the cloud. Read and clear diagnostic codes from the engine and transmission computers whenever you feel like it — all from the palm of your hand.

 

How Does POWERLink Work?

Upgrading your engine and transmission software starts with quality calibrations. Xodus engineers spend countless hours poring through the OEM software. Tables for boost, ignition timing, air-fuel ratio, camshaft phasing, and so forth are painstakingly optimized and tested. We create the perfect blend of power and durability. 

Completed tunes are hosted on the cloud and ready for access from your phone at a moment’s notice. Simply plug in the POWERlink to the OBD Port, run the app, and tune with a tap of your finger. 


 

Step-by-Step Xodus Flash Tune Guide

 

DOWNLOAD THE APP

Find and download the POWERlink App to your iPhone or Android mobile device from the Apple or Google Play Store.

 

PLUG INTO YOUR TRUCK

Connect the POWERlink dongle to your truck’s OBD2 port (on the driver's side dash, down by the pedals).

 

ENSURE A HEALTHY BATTERY

Connecting a 10 Amp or higher charger to your car's battery is recommended anytime you flash a tune.

 

KEY ON IGNITION

Turn the vehicle to ignition power only (full power without starting the engine). For push-start vehicles, depress the “Start” button once without your foot on the brake.

 

COMPLETE REGISTRATION

Launch your POWERlink mobile app and follow the on-screen prompts. We will use this registration data to inform you of important updates and upgrades to your truck's tunes. 

 

FLASH YOUR F13.1 TUNE

For the first time flashing your truck, follow the onscreen prompts to “Purchase” the tune by consuming the license credits included with your Xodus cable. Ensure the truck stays with the ignition ON until prompted to cycle the ignition. 

 

CYCLE THE IGNITION

Once the tune is complete, you will be instructed by the app to start the truck, let it run, and turn it off. This is the final step to complete your tune. 


DASH LIGHTS

Some models will have dash lights for ABS, TPMS, and other modules after flashing. That is because the onboard data-bus coms for those were interrupted while flashing. Simply driving the vehicle a few miles will cause them to disappear.

ENJOY!

Enjoy your truck's new tire-shredding attitude.
