Broo you do an excellent job explaining all your products . Dont stop i watch all your videos. 👏🏼👏🏼

[@ambrosioevans1909]

I just bought a black 2020 civic SI sedan and I was thinking about tuning my car to get rid of rev hang and I was on 2 step performance website and seen both the 1.2 and 2.0 versions and wondered the difference between the two and came across your video. Good video man and I liked your explanation. Will be getting v2 in the near future!

[@privateuser9631]

Hey Cameron I love the vids man keep them coming. They’re really helpful and I love seeing all of your upgrades on your 10th gen. I have a tenth gen of my own and I’m really looking forward to getting a tuner so I can take off the rev hang!! Also you were smacked af at the end of this video and you can see that mean ass rig in the back lol.

[@nothanks9795]

Hey Cam! Nice job explaining the difference between the two. I have the V2 with TSP and Phearable, got that after your video. The end reel was a great addition!! Hilarious 🤣! Smart move letting Vivian drive the 10 gen. Enjoy the ghost car and your extra passenger. Hey now you can drive in the carpool lane!!

You're saying you're pretty new at this tuning scene, yet here you are with just about every bolt-on on your car haha. It's also great that you do your research, that's why your content is awesome.

[@Camhill182]

Thanks, Jimmy

[@LinszterPerformance]

Hi Cameron. The "incorrect" thing is that KTuner not "piggyback" the ECU. It will allow you to overwrite the stock parameters within the stock ECU. Piggyback is a different thing. Also TunerView is not just for the headunit. It has a separate Android Phone app that has more feature and you can keep the headunit stock. You can upload 5 tunes to the V1.2 too, and you can flash it with the TunerView app without using a laptop.

[@kevin8686]

Really?? I can tune the car without a laptop? That’s so dope I didn’t know

[@LinszterPerformance]

@@kevin8686 not really. You can flash a tune that already stored on the V1.2 without using a laptop.

Hey cam been following your channel for a while. Great videos! I just bought my 2020 si and I’m trying to learn about tuning and everything. Would you suggest getting a ktuner for a daily driver?

[@Camhill182]

uhhhh yea you could if you wanted. just don't floor your car below 3500 rpm, let it warm up before getting on it, and I honestly would recommend using rev hang because it runs very rough with rev hang off

I went with V1 for my K20 10th gen I don’t need a screen so hopefully it’ll work for now

[@coreybelanger7076]

I enjoyed the bloops lol

[@travisbennett4620]

Is the v2 a direct plug in play system for an 8th gen or will the Ecu need sent out? I know my brother had to do something for his 02 rsx type s, but I can’t recall what it was, In the end it would have been cheaper for him to go the hondata route but he wanted to run ktuner because of the screen, but was just curious as I now have a ktuner but have not looked into it much yet until motor gets back from builder, I got an amazing deal on it ($200.00) so didn’t think I went wrong with it, just not sure if it’s plug and play for my fg2 or if the ecu will need sent out, any info is much Appreciated, thank you in advance. Keep up the work with the awesome channel, just found you but you gained a new follower.

[@franksimms6311]

I think it is a matter of preference. I like the V1.2 best for me. Sluggish operation of Tunerview does not bother me as I rarely have to operate it. Also I don't like extra displays and cable hanging down. Each to their own.

[@allbaugh04]

Does the v1.2 have to remain connected to the obd2? The tunes are stored in the v1.2 using a pc? And you toggle them with the app on a phone? Thanks!

[@jessecontreras2051]

With the v1.2 ktuner or the v2 is there an option where you can see what code is throwing at you if you have a check engine light or like abs system?

[@michaelpeticca]

So after you buy k tuner, you have the buy a tune for it? Or does it come with a tune

Any thoughts on hondata's tune they give you with the flash pro for the civic 10th gen, im running the 19 psi currently.

[@Camhill182]

I don’t really have any thoughts on that. I love the Ktuner v2, so won’t even consider Hondata for the 10th gen

[@Tappat]

So one question I have, which I’ve heard but am not sure about, is whether the v2 can be used without a computer? I know 1.2 needs a windows computer to help get everything installed but I would like to know if you have any insight on this. Thanks for the video.

[@Camhill182]

Hey Patrick. You have to use a windows computer to register and set up the v2, but after that, you will not need a computer to flash tunes to your car. I already have a video tutorial on my channel of how to set up the v1.2 and flash a tune to your car, and will be making a video next week of how to do it with the v2

[@westcoastkhmer]

Im all new to this, I noticed folks with the v2 can view kcount parameters. I bought a v1.2 and downloaded the tunerview app and only have parameter for kret and kcon etc but no kcount.

[@pokenerd1898]

Hey Cameron, did you need to jailbreak your ecu for ktuner? I have a Type R and have been told it needs to be jailbroken to be tuned compared to the SI which is plug and play.

[@Camhill182]

I did not have to jailbreak mine. But I am aware that you guys have to jailbreak yours

[@treyk74]

If I get a v1.2 can I use a laptop to load tunes on the fly or do I need the v2 for that. Also can I use my laptop to monitor the temps, knock ctrl etc? I don’t see the point in the v2 if it’s just a screen when i can just use a laptop.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but the V2 doesn’t have to stay plugged in after the tune has been applied?

Can I use Honda hack from a tablet and Bluetooth it to the 1.2 ?

[@mickdaquick916]

I went with the 1.2v but although I have an iPhone I opted to just get a pre own phone with a big enough screen with decent quality and run the screen features through there instead of doing the Honda hack in the head until which I heard it bugs out a lot. Also some people buy cheap android tablets but I didn’t wanted something too big ether but there are plenty of options, my biggest grind with the 2.0v is that it needs to be plugged in at all times in order for the screen to work from what I read.

I’m surprised that there aren’t tunes pre loaded on Ktuner. On the accord, we have stage 1 and stage 2 preloaded on any Ktuner. I have V1.2 bought for $350. We don’t have the Honda hack for the screen on our accord but V1.2 can connect to an android phone and show you what v2 does.

[@SoHyped97]

I ended up buying a tablet to use tuner view. I don’t have the android radio on my hatch but it’s nice 👍🏽

[@logwind]

If someone just wants to disable the god awful rev hang in a 2020 Si, would I be correct in saying the cheapest way of doing that is with KTuner v1.2? And does the KTuner unit need to stay connected to the ODBII port at all times? Thanks Cameron.

[@Camhill182]

Yes, the cheapest way to do that would be the ktuner v1.2. I have also heard of some people using a universal tuner called a "JB4" which apparently is untraceable. That means; Honda won't be able to tell that you have messed with your ECU. Idk, but ktuner is the way to go in my opinion. The ktuner does not have to be plugged into the OBDII port after you have flashed the car.

[@flickz4965]

So if I get v1.2 I just needa buy a tune and do everything from there

[@fuzzguzz2520]

does a 9th gen accord need the ecu to be sent out before using k tuner???
