Procedure of Getting a Eagle Tuning
THERE ARE THREE OPTIONS FOR GETTING A EAGLE TUNING
TUNE AT HOME
As of now, a large majority of the vehicles we offer tunes for are supported by the Alientech Powergate 3+ . If your vehicle is supported, the Alientech Powergate 3+ is a great way to get your ECU tuned. Once you place your order for the tune and the Alientech Powergate 3+ , we ship you the handheld complete in a case with all necessary cables and a USB drive. On that USB drive is a PDF instruction manual for the tuning process. The handle flasher must first be updated using the link the PDF instruction manual then paired to the vehicle to either read the stock file or identify the software versions on the ECU. After that process, the handheld is connected to a PC so that you can download the ID file and email it to tuning@eagletuning.com so that we can begin the process of making your tune file. Once ready, an encrypted file which contains both the stock file and the tune file, will be sent back to you. You upload the file to the handheld and then use the handheld to flash the car. Below you will find the instructions that are in the PDF manual.
This software is only compatible with Microsoft Windows PC/Laptop.
ALWAYS use a battery charger when you are installing the tune.
You must first install the client software on your computer. Here is the download link. There should also have been a little pamphlet in the package with this link as well.
Once installed, connect the programmer to your computer and run the software. It will make sure that the device is up to date. Once that is done, you can connect it to your vehicle to ID the car. The Powergate3+ will not work unless it is properly updated. Once the vehicle has been ID’ed you will connect it back to your computer so the ID information can be copied and supplied to us to enable us to make a file for your car.

We do our best to get files back to you as quickly as possible. If a file is sent during Eagle Tuning business hours (8am to 5pm) Eastern Daylight Time), in most cases a tuned file is sent back within 2 hours. In some cases, in under 30 minutes. There are certain situations where an original file for your vehicle is not readily available. In these cases, you will be notified of potential delays.
Once you receive your tune file via email, save it to your desktop. It contains both the tune file and the original file. The file is encrypted and cannot be opened.
