The FlashPro allows datalogging and tuning for your 2018 + 2.0 turbo Accord. It includes Windows based software called FlashProManager.The FlashPro connects from your laptop’s USB port to your vehicles diagnostic port.
California emissions compliant (CARB EO D-742-3), which allows this product to be used on street vehicles within the USA.
Important Note
This FlashPro allows tuning of all parameters except those associated with emissions. For turbo vehicles, torque and boost settings can be tuned. For competition vehicles we recommend the FP-ACRD-US FlashPro as that FlashPro allows fuel and ignition tuning.
Sales Market
This FlashPro can only be sold to US/Canada addresses.
What is a CARB FlashPro?
A CARB FlashPro is a FlashPro which only allows uploads from calibrations which are determined to not alter the any emissions related parameters in the ECU.
What does CARB stand for?
Not carburetor. ‘CARB’ is the common term for the California Air Resources Board, who are responsible for determining if calibrations could affect emissions.
Why should I use the CARB FlashPro?
Within the USA you must use the CARB FlashPro for any emissions controlled vehicle.
But I don’t live in California / my state does not do emissions tests.
It does not matter – the concept of ’49 state legal’ is not longer valid. Under the federal Clean Air Act administered by the EPA it is not legal to change any emissions equipment (including the ECU) on any emissions controlled vehicle. There is no mechanism to prove to the EPA that an ECU modification does not affect emissions, but the EPA will accept the California Air Resources Board approval. Hence California legal modifications are also federally legal.
What if I sell by vehicle and wish to use the FlashPro on a competition vehicle? The CARB FlashPro cannot be changed into a Race FlashPro. Sell the CARB FlashPro and purchase a Race FlashPro.
Will this work on more than one vehicle?
The FlashPro is locked to one vehicle. It can be unlocked and transferred to another vehicle by returning the ECU to stock.
Do I need the laptop in the vehicle to reflash the ECU?
No. The FlashPro can upload either with or without a laptop.
Will dealers need a software license?
No. Every FlashPro will come with the full tuning software FlashProManager.
Do I need to send my ECU to Hondata?
No. Your ECU does not need to be modified for FlashPro.
I am considering purchasing a used FlashPro. What do I need to do to check?
The FlashPro must be unlocked by the seller. Have the seller send you this screenshot which shows the serial number password and lock status. Hondata does not unlock FlashPros. The reason for this policy is to prevent both fraud (against us) and theft (against you).
Bluetooth:
All FlashPros since sold since 2014 support Bluetooth

Dyno Results
What sort of improvements can I expect?
The tune is designed to give a conservative yet exhilarating 10% improvement in performance. With this Hondata performance upgrade, your Accord will match the performance of many more expensive luxury cars.
Your Accord gains anywhere from 10 to 40 hp everywhere, with the maximum gains not at the top of the rev range, but where you need it most at the low end of the rev range. Rapid acceleration is just a quick flex of the throttle pedal away. 91 or higher octane recommended.

Accord MT 2.0 Flex Fuel
Flex fuel kits are now available for the Accord from retailers like ProCivic. In combination with FlashPro Manager 3.4.0.0 or later the Accord becomes a fully flex fuel compatible vehicle. These tunes were developed on a completely stock MT and AT Accord. The Accord Flex-Fuel calibration will automatically adjust the tuning and boost levels to maximize the performance based on your ethanol content.
Over E50 the boost is reduced based on the ethanol content to stay within the limits of the fuel pump
Accord AT 2.0 Flex Fuel
Flex fuel kits are now available for the Accord from retailers like ProCivic. In combination with FlashPro Manager 3.4.0.0 or later the Accord becomes a fully flex fuel compatible vehicle. These tunes were developed on a completely stock MT and AT Accord. The Accord Flex-Fuel calibration will automatically adjust the tuning and boost levels to maximize the performance based on your ethanol content.
The dyno chart is a little wavy because of the interaction of the AT and dyno. The MT dyno plot above gives a more accurate representation.
Stock – as stated
FlashPro – E10 pump gas and Stage 1 tune
E40 and FlashPro – E40, FlashPro and more boost

FlashPro Introduction
Hondata’s new generation programming tool for the 06 – 09 US Civic Si, the Japanese 06-09 Civic Type R and the European 07-09 Civic Type R. A brief introduction.
FlashPro getting started
This video covers the installation the FlashPro Manager software, the USB drivers, software registration and upload of a calibration.
Live Tuning
One of the latest features added to FlashPro, live tuning gives you the ability to tune your Honda or Acura on the fly without switching off the engine. Live tuning simplifies part throttle tuning and significantly reduces the time and cost of tuning your car.
Race Calibration
Hondata has developed a Race calibration which allows you to tune with the MAP sensor and bypass the limitations of the AFM sensor. A look at the tuning principles for forced induction on a modern return-less fuel system.
Datalogging and Air fuel ratios
A look a the extensive datalogging capabilities of the FlashPro and the many ways in which to examine your engine data. We touch on the datalogging of the air fuel ratios and how you can use it to adjust your tuning.
