Got my cobb today and am a bit bored at work. Don't have time to take the car to the workshop as it's the weekend but want to try to upgrade the TCM myself to see what the fuss is about in the meantime

I want to upgrade to LC5 and was wondering anyone know which map name and transmission type to select?

Map Name :

* Level 1 - 3300 RPM

* Level 2 - 3700 RPM

* Stock Style LC2 Logic

Transmission Type:

JF04B JF09D JF09E JW91A JW91B JW91D

When you go to install the TCM it will tell you which software version you have, then install KB15B (I think thats the code off the top of my head) LC4 VDC OFF V101...or at least thats what we like to use. Its nice :)

Once finished -

Set CC and TP values to zero then perform a Clutch Gear Relearn.

Set CC and TP to desired after that. Start with CC +1, +1, and TP 0, 0

Did the upgrade to LC4 with VDC OFF as recommended by Martin and it is a day and night difference to the LC2. Smoother shifts especially from 1st to 2nd and no more shuddering when taking off slowly or slowing to a near stop and then moving off again. Will play around with LC5 this week to see what the difference (if any is).

Hmmmmm The bunny hopping and mild shudder I get in 1st when cold is starting to bug me - as well as reversing the bl00dy thing up a slightly inclined driveway to get out of the garage is doing my head in trying to find the right acc balance point so that I don't launch into the street, or bunny hop or get that clunking clutch slip noise....

What to do what to do... I wanna keep my warranty, but I hate this shit..

CC = Clutch Capacity for Odd and Even gears.

Adjustments range from -7 to +7 and linearly increase clutch apply pressure when shifting.

Normally from the factory these are set to 0 (right in the middle)

On a moderately powered up car setting these to +2 +2 is a good step

In a high powered car then +4 +4 is the go.

I dont go much over that as its hard on the seals and gears to run massive pressures.

Its a feel thing.

TP = Touch Point for Odd and Even gears

Touch Point is best explained as the prepositioning or pre-load on the clutches.

Adding more Odd TP will give more creep in 1st gear at idle speed

I normally leave these as close to 0 as to get the desired driving result

Hope that helps :)

haha how will lc4/5 improve the clutch take up point though?

i'm waiting on my code to upgrade the accessport - can be done through the ap manager now rather than having to send it back to US

i'm hoping the newer launch programs have better control on wheel slip, as 4000k lc will just dry my tyres even more than my current lc3

I was bored and flashed from LC4 to LC5. Maybe it's a psychological thing but I actually like LC4 better for day to day driving. It makes less sound and was a bit smoother during start/stop? I heard LC4 had more slip in the clutch, is this the reason?

I have since reflashed back to LC4 from LC5

Ok. Just followed these instructions precisely. Now I'll take it for a spin and see what the difference is. Still CC at +3 otherwise there is to much slip.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
