Hofele 'Performance Package'
- OBD engine tuning

Additional arguments for the 'Hofele Performance Package' - engine tuning:
  • no additional control unit and no additional wiring harness in the engine compartment.
  • the copied software is saved by us and can be written onto the car again to get the original settings back at any time.
  • the re-setting to the original software is free.
  • Hofele optimises all areas of the engine control unit without interfering with the emission values.
  • a warranty for the engine and the gear is available against separate costs.
  • a TUEV approval is available against separate costs.
OBD engine tuning by Hofele-Design is the optimisation of the original engine control unit software via the OBD (On Board Diagnostics) gateway. This OBD gateway is serial on all cars starting from the year 2000 and is located inside the drivers compartment, underneath the dashboard or in the middle console. Via this gateway and a special OBD tool the original software can be copied and also overwritten. This kind of engine tuning optimises the original software and therefore cannot be seen as there is no additional control unit and no additional wiring harness.

This engine tuning can only be made directly at Hofele-Design in Germany
or at local foreign dealers if they do have the needed hardware and flash tools.

Procedure for external dealers / body shops:

  1. the original engine software is copied via the OBD gateway (flash tool needed)
  2. the copied software file is send to us via email
  3. we do the software optimisation
  4. the optimised software file is send back via email
  5. the optimised software is written onto the original control unit via the OBD gateway (flash tool needed)

The optimisation of the software file takes approx. two hours. If the engine tuning is made directly at our facilities there is of course no need to send the file via email. After the software has been copied the car can still be driven.

Available flash tools:

  • CMD Flash
  • Byteshooter
These flash tools can be used for almost every car with OBD gateway and can be ordered from us.
If you order a flash tool you receive one engine tuning for free. The engine tuning via OBD has the same advantages like the above named "Dynamic Pro" engine tuning.

On some cars with Diesel engines from 2009 onwards the software might be copy protected so that the software cannot be copied via the OBD gateway. In this case the original engine control unit has to be removed and opened to copy the software directly from the control unit and to write it back onto it. You may inquire the exact tuning data if you send us an email with your car type and engine version.
