What it changes

Faster, smoother shifts

Up to 40% faster gear shifts, smoother changes and a quicker response to the paddles.

Torque converter lock-up

Locks up the torque converter at lower revs, which improves efficiency.

Adaptation reset

Includes a gearbox adaptation reset as standard, to help you get the most from the car.

How it works

One car, flash it as often as you need

Programming starts and finishes with beeps and an LED, so you know where you are. It is invisible to dealer tools and will not change the flash counter.

The tool locks to the VIN of the first car it is connected to. You can flash that car as many times as you like, for example after a dealer software update, but do not use it on another car.

Elite Flash is made by a UK automotive electronics company. Each tool is programmed for your transmission type and tested before it is shipped to us.

What customers say

Excellent job by the lads at jf automotive, had engine tune/ gearbox service and tune on my x5, would highly recommend and would definitely use them again!

Mark BMW

Tuned my D36 420i to stage 1 ECU remap and Gearbox XHP stage 3 remap. Happy miles, can’t stop smiling. Very responsive Highly recommend JFAutomotives. I’ve been with them since 2020 when I had my mk3 Skoda fabia 1.2 Monte Carlo edition. Had induction kit and BOV for that car.…

Sharry BMW 420i 2.0

My 2011 Lamborghini had both a TCU and ECU remap and it's totally transformed the car along with BMC Carbon filters as recommended. Total professional setup and very knowledgeable people.. I would definitely use again.

Common questions

What does Elite Flash do?

It tunes the automatic gearbox through the OBD port for faster, smoother gear shifts, quicker paddle response and torque converter lock-up at lower revs.

Will the dealer see it?

It is invisible to dealer tools and does not change the gearbox flash counter.

What if the dealer updates my software?

Flash the car again. The tool works as many times as you need on the car it is locked to.

Can I use it on a second car?

No. It locks to the VIN of the first car it is connected to, and flashing another car could cause an error.

How quickly will it arrive?

In the UK, normally 1 to 2 working days once we have confirmed it covers your gearbox.

Can I return it?

Not once it has been unboxed, and it locks to the first car it is connected to. That is why we check your gearbox first.
