Is this a thing for our trucks? I'm using torque on my android head unit with a Bluetooth OBD2 plugin, and I'd love it if I could find an app that could actually reprogram, as I've seen mhd do on my friends bmw.

It would be nice to have this functionality without having to buy a separate tuner. I'm not running anything crazy, just intake, headers and homegrown ported/polished intake manifolds, but it would be nice to have this option for future mods and changing profiles between towing/performance and gas mileage...

 

I mean you still need something to plug into the OBD port regardless of whether you are doing the stuff via phone, so you still need to buy something.

But the EZLynk tuner is pretty much entirely run via a cell phone including getting tune revisions and stuff. I dont know if they support the 5.0 though, they seem to mainly focus on diesels and the Ecoboosts.

Also, HPTuners is now enabling a lot more support via phone as well with their TDN app. If you tune yourself it kinda sucks, but if you are working through a major tuner that uses their Tune Delivery Network then I imagine its pretty nice. You can datalog through the app and flash tunes, but everything has to come from your tuner via the network.

 

The MHD for BMW you just plug your phone in to the OBD using an OBD cable and USBC adapter (or using a bluetooth OBD adapter). Everything is done via the phone. Download the tune to your phone, connect phone to OBD, flash the tune to your vehicle. Either buy tunes from a tuner or create your own on one of the various tuning softwares.

Would be nice to have something like that for the F150 but Im guessing there isnt as much of a demand for it

 

Closest thing is the HPTuners RTD dongle which can do the tune loading and datalogging via bluetooth

 

Thats probably because they were running Bosch ECM’s. It was a lot easier to tune my diesel Jeep that ran an EDC16 with all sorts of cheap cables and software.

But no, there is nothing like that for these trucks
