Introduction.
T anks for purc asing t e Flux2 system. Flux2 is a self-contained communication and display
system w ic connects to virtually any ve icle’s OBD2 data port and provides an interface between t e user and ve icle. In
addition, Flux2 is designed to work wit a Unic ip Performance Computer and allows t e user to access all five performance data
sets in t e Unic ip.
2.
Assembly.
Your Flux2 Display comes wit an articulated winds ield suction cup mount t at can be attac ed to t e
rear of t e Display case if desired. Always use t e kit provided components and fasteners to assemble and t e winds ield mount to
your Flux2 Display – failure to do so may result in internal damage to t e Display or an insecure installation t at could come loose
during an inopportune time during ve icle operation. See Attac ment A for assembly details.
3.
Installation.
Before affixing t e Flux2 to your winds ield, connect t e kit provided wiring looms into t e appropriate
ports on t e Display unit. Wit t e basic Flux2 kit, you received two cables, one to connect t e Flux2 Display to t e ve icle’s OBD2
port and t e ot er to connect t e Flux2 Display to t e Unic ip. Note t at basic Flux2 functionality requires only t e OBD2 Port
connection w ile Unic ip map switc ing requires t e Unic ip Connection Loom.

Connect all together
a. Plug t e OBD2 Connection Loom’s 8-pin Plug into t e Flux2 Display Port labeled OBD. Connect t e Unic ip Connection
Loom to t e Flux2 Display Port labeled UNICHIP. Ensure t e Plugs are correctly oriented prior to pus ing t em into t e Display
Connectors; eac plug is keyed so t at it only installs wit t e correct orientation. Note t at eac of t ese connectors as a
small locking tab w ic s ould be oriented on t e same side of t e Display Connector as t e alf-round cut-out on t e surface of
t e Display body. T ese locking tabs slip over a small tab on t e female connector and w en correctly installed prevent t e
Plug from being removed. To remove a Plug, press down on t e locking tab to raise it above t e female connector’s tab.
Warning: Use care when routing the looms as poor routing may allow the loom to cause interference with vehicle
controls. Use Zip ties to securely attach the loom to the car. o not leave extra loom loosely around the passenger
compartment
b. After using t e kit provided articulated winds ield suction cup mount to secure your Flux2 Display to your ve icle’s
winds ield, carefully route t e OBD2 Connector Loom to t e ve icle’s ODB2 port and connect t e Plug.

Warning: Ensure the Flux2 isplay installation does not block your field of view. By carefully positioning the suction
cup mount and properly articulating the mounting arm, the Flux2 isplay can be visually positioned in front of the
vehicle’s A-pillar or dash pad rather than blocking your view out the windshield.
Note: (1) Your vehicle’s OB 2 port is located
underneath the dashboard, near the steering column.
The port may be open and exposed or it may be behind
a trim panel. The connector is in the same shape as the
OB 2 Plug on the Flux2 harness. If the vehicle’s OB 2
port is exposed, it will probably have a slip off cover
that must be removed to connect Flux2.
(2) By regulation, the OB 2 port will be located within
two feet (61 cm) of the steering wheel and you will not
need tools to access the port.
Warning: The OB 2 connector plug often has a cover and is not mounted very securely. Pushing on the OB 2
connector case can cause the case to separate from the connector resulting in damage. Use caution and both hands
when connecting to avoid pushing the OEM port into a position which precludes a connection. Some VW vehicles, in
particular, are prone to this.
c. Next connect t e Unic ip Connection Loom to t e Unic ip Performance Computer; t e Unic ip Performance Computer
Connector as bot a female and male plug. Disconnect t e exiting 24-pin connector from t e Unic ip Computer and insert it
into t e female plug side of t e Unic ip Connection Loom and t en plug t e male plug side into t e Unic ip.
Note: If you have another map switching device (like a 2-way or 5-way mechanical switch or the Bluetooth Flux
Receiver), you should disconnect that device before installing the Flux2. Although you won’t damage the Flux2
isplay, some positions of those other devices will inhibit the Flux2 isplay’s map switching capability).
Warning: Use care when routing the looms as poor routing may allow the loom to cause interference with vehicle
controls. Use Zip ties to securely attach the loom to the car. o not leave extra loom loosely around the passenger
compartment
d. Connecting external accessories. If you ave purc ased t e EGT or Boost add-on kits, connect t e cables provided wit
t e sensor into t e appropriate connector on t e back of t e Flux2 display. Ensure you connect t e kit’s 4-pin Molex Plug into
t e correct port on t e back of t e Flux2 Display.
Warning: Use care when routing the looms as poor routing may allow the loom to cause interference with vehicle
controls. Use Zip ties to securely attach the loom to the car. o not leave extra loom loosely around the passenger
compartment

OB 2 Code Reading
.
T e factory computer controlling your ve icle constantly monitors operations for
faults and records t ose faults w enever t ey occur. For easy display, t ese faults are identified by alp a numeric codes called
Parameter ID typically five c aracters long. T ere are literally t ousands of PID codes and w ile some are common to all ve icles
and manufacturers, some are proprietary to particular manufactures.
a. Random faults can and do occur during normal operation and do not necessarily represent a problem t at must be
corrected. To decide w en a detected fault becomes a PID code, t e factory computer controlling your ve icle uses
sampling sc emes to see ow many times a fault is detected in a given amount of time. T e faults are grouped into t ree
categories based upon t ese sampling sc emes… normal operation, pending codes, and active codes.
b.
Normal operation
– t e sampling results are below acceptable fault rates and no codes are generated. You will not know
anyt ing about t ese faults even w en scanning t e factory computer for codes.
c.
Pending PID codes
– t e sampling results indicate a problem t at does not rise to t e level of immediate attention but will
require attention if it gets any worse. You will not know anyt ing about t ese faults during normal operation but will see
t em if you scan t e factory computer.
d.
Active PID codes
– t e sampling results indicate a problem requiring immediate attention. Active PID’s will often, but not
always, trigger a C eck Engine Lig t. You will see all Active PID codes w en you scan t e factory computer.

Attachment B – OB 2 codes
Your Flux2 Display will read, display, and clear OBD2 Digital Trouble Codes (DTC’s) w ic are alp a numeric codes used to aid in
ve icle troubles ooting. T ere are literally t ousands of DTC’s used by your ve icle.
Proprietary DTC’s
Some of t ose DTC’s are proprietary to t e manufacturer and, as suc , t e manufacturer is not compelled to disclose w at t ose
codes mean. Your Flux2 Display may display unusual c aracters or may display all ??????’s if it is unable to interpret t e data
generated by t ese proprietary DTC’s. An internet searc or a p one call to a certified dealer may elp you determine t e fault.
Open source DTC’s
Many DTC’s are by legislation common across all manufacturers and must be readable by testing centers for emissions compliance.
Your Flux2 Display will properly display t ese codes and you can find t e plain text description for eac of t ese codes by doing an
internet searc of t e code.
TC code structure.
DTC codes are formed by a single letter and four numbers,
eac of w ic ave specific meaning… for example, your
Flux2 Display may report a DTC of P0300. T is is an open
source DTC for a random engine misfire; from t e grap ic
below you can see t at P means t is is a Powertrain fault, t e
first 0 indicates it is an Open Source DTC, t e 3 indicates t e
DTC is in t e Ignition System, and t e final 00 is t e specific
fault indicator… in t is case “random.”
DTC codes are furt er separated into eit er “stored” or “pending” codes. A stored DTC is one t at t e factory ECU as decided is
an actual failure w ile a pending DTC is one t at as intermittently failed or is in t e process of failing. Bot Open Source and
Proprietary codes can be stored or pending.
Freeze Frame Data — Freeze frame data is a listing of t e parameters w ic existed w en a DTC was generated and are useful for

To enter t e correct Speed Conversion in t e Flux2 Display, you must first determine t e value. You can eit er use an accurate
GPS system, pace your ve icle wit a known accurate ve icle, or use t e gear and/or tire sizes to calculate t e value.
GPS or Pacing
To determine an accurate correction, drive your ve icle at a moderate steady pace on a level road – if possible wit cruise control
set – and compare t e speed on your GPS to t e speedometer. Divide t e speedometer reading by t e GPS reading to determine
t e correction you will enter into t e Flux2 Display.
If you are using a pace ve icle, ave t at ve icle drive at a moderate steady pace on a level road – if possible wit cruise control set
– w ile you carefully maintain station next to t e pace ve icle. Note your speedometer reading and divide t at value wit t e speed
from t e pace car to determine t e value you enter into t e Flux2 Display.
Tire Size Correction
To calculate t e Speed correction percentage required for your aftermarket tire and w eel package, you need t e first section of t e
OEM and aftermarket tires. Using t e following equation, you can calculate t e circumference of bot and dividing t e OEM number
by t e aftermarket number will produce t e correction percentage.
T e equation is…
[(Widt x Aspect Ratio x 2) + w eel diameter] 3.14159 = circumference
… and all of t ose values are available on t e tire side wall.
If, for example, you ave 255/35-17 aftermarket tires on your ve icle, t ose tires tread is 255 mm wide, t e Aspect Ratio
(comparison of t e sidewall eig t compared to t e tread widt ) is 35%, and t e rims ave a 17-inc diameter. You can do t e
calculation in eit er Englis or Metric units, but in eit er case you ave to convert somet ing since t e standard sizes s ow widt in
mm and rim size in inc es.
In our example, t e tires are 255 mm wide w ic is 10.04 inc es and t e aspect ratio is 0.35 so filling in t e first portion of t e
equation gives us…
10.04 x 0.35 x 2 = 7.03 inc es
… and t e w eel diameter is 17 inc es, so filling in t e rest of t e equation yields…
(7.03 + 17) 3.14149 = 75.49 inc circumference
If you t e OEM tires were 225/45-15, running t e same calculation give a 73.09 inc circumference.
Dividing t e OEM circumference by t e aftermarket circumference…
(75.49 / 73.09) x 100= 1.033 w ic is a 3.3% decrease.

Attachment E – Warranty
For 90 days following t e original owner’s purc ase of a Unic ip, Unic ip of Nort America (UNA) warrants no ot er ECU product generates more power
from a specific gasoline engine t an a properly functioning, custom tuned Unic ip in t e specific ve icle for w ic it is tuned. If anot er ECU product
generates more power from t at engine wit in 90 days of t e original owner’s purc ase of t e Unic ip, t e original owner can contact t eir Unic ip
dealer for a refund of all Unic ip parts, Unic ip installation c arges, and Unic ip custom tuning. S ipping, testing, dynamometer costs and t e cost of
removing any UNA parts are specifically not covered by t is warranty and will not be refunded to t e owner.
To claim a refund, owners must provide dynamometer proof anot er ECU product produced more power w en installed on t e specific ve icle and t at
ve icle and all of its parts were in an identical condition ot er t an t e ECU en ancement. T ree repeatable dynamometer tests must be performed using
t e Unic ip and t ree repeatable tests using t e ot er ECU product. T e average of t e t ree tests performed on eac product s all constitute t at
product’s score for determining power. T e same tec nician, using t e same dynamometer in an identical condition wit t e same settings, must perform
all test runs. All environmental conditions including ambient and IAT temperature and pressure altitude and t e ve icle’s cooling system temperatures and
drive train temperatures must also be identical for all six runs. IAT and Coolant temperature data logged information for eac run is required. T e ve icle
must also use t e same fuel for all six tests. UNA reserves t e rig ts to, at UNA’s exclusive discretion, re-tune t e Unic ip involved in a performance
warranty claim at no cost to t e customer making t e claim or to provide a warranty refund; if after a retune, t e Unic ip still makes less power t an
