Since you guys aren't reading the actual site, I'm going to copy paste it here and then you can stop asking questions that are answered.

What is FlashPro?
The FlashPro allows full user tuning and datalogging for the 2012+ Civic Si 2.4 and the 2013+ Acura ILX 2.4. It includes Windows based software called FlashPro Manager. The FlashPro connects from your laptop's USB port to your vehicles diagnostic port to provide real time programming, a variety of calibrations and extensive datalogging capabilities.

Price and availability

$695 - available 5 November. Make sure you order your FlashPro through a Hondata authorized dealer so that you obtain the full benefits of the FlashPro, including warranty.

Questions and Answers
- Do I need to send my ECU to Hondata?
No. Your ECU does not need to be modified for FlashPro.
- Can it improve the rev hang?
Yes. Revs will drop sooner after gearchange.
- Are there base calibrations?
Yes, for injectors ranging from 270-1300cc. *UPDATE* Hondata has released a reflash equivalent base map.
- Do I need dyno tuning?
It shouldn't be necessary for common part combinations (intake, exhaust), but you still have the option of custom tuning if you wish to get a little more. Camshafts and race headers probably will need tuning to get the most of the them - it will depend on the manufacturer. Dyno tuning is highly recommended for forced induction.
- What about smog?
According to US and CA law the FlashPro is for off road use only. However, if you did smog with you would find the readiness codes supported and complete as long as your emissions systems are intact and working.
- Will this work on more than one vehicle?
The FlashPro is locked to one vehicle. It can be unlocked and transferred to another vehicle by returning the ECU to stock.
- Can I share the calibrations I make for my car?
Yes.
- Do I need the laptop in the vehicle to reflash the ECU?
No. The FlashPro can upload either with or without a laptop.
- So does that mean 1 unit Hondata FlashPro can only work with one ecu or car only? Which mean I can't buy one FlashPro and use it together with a few of my friend's Si/ILXs?
One ECU and vehicle at a time. You can unlock the FlashPro by returning the ECU to stock, and then transfer to another vehicle.
- Any option of immobilizer control?
The immobilizer can not be disabled. We've implemented a number of features designed to protect the owner of the vehicle from theft, and one of these is not to allow the immobilizer to be disabled. This is going to be much less of an issue than previous products because the ECU does not need to be removed / swapped.
-Will this support a 64-Bit Windows Vista, Windows 7 and 8?
Yes.
- Can it control nitrous?
No. However, you can at least control the ignition timing to make nitrous safer.
Will dealers need a software license?
No. Every FlashPro will come with the full tuning software FlashPro Manager.
- Will this version be compatible with Canadian Built Si's ECU?
Yes, Canadian models use RX0-A03 *Verified by AlienPrime 10/26/2012*
-
Where can I buy FlashPro?
Hondata has a list of official dealers Dealers
- Would it be possible to use the 06-11 flashpro box with the 12si once the software is released?
No. The new Flashpro unit itself is different for the new ECU.
- Does FlashPro void my warranty?
You can always flash back to stock. As long as you're flashed to stock you shouldn't have anything to worry about.
- WTF is an E-Dyno?
The e-dyno is an online tool that allows you to upload a data log and produce a dyno chart. It tends to be surprisingly accurate and usually the results usually fall in line with real dynos.
- What happens when I flash a calibration?
Your imid will cycle through all of the various warning messages that it is capable of displaying. When the flash is complete, all of the lights and errors return to normal and the flashpro light turns off.

Do you have the use the specific flashpro part number for each car? I ask because a friend of mine totaled his 09 Si and is giving me pretty much whatever I wanted from his car .. Including the flash pro that was on the car.

Would it be possible to use the 06-11 flashpro box with the 12si once the software is released?

There is hope... Do not fret my friend.



Yeah, just to re-iterate, don't worry about where you car was made or sold...just look at the ECU part #. Right now, Hondata has confirmed it will work with ECU part #s RX0-A03, RX0-A04, and RX0-A05. I'm sure more will eventually be added to the list, just as was the case with the 8th Gen Si.

We still have some pre-order spots available too. Here's the thread for those who haven't already seen it: http://www.9thgencivic.com/forum/pro-civic/10029-2012-si-flashpro-pre-orders.html

I recently purchased my Flashpro and I am just running it on the Stock Equiv maps right now (On my stock car obviously) I am new to the site so forgive my newbness but I just ordered my INJEN CAI and when I looked at the stock map it gave options for everything you need I just got a little worried when I came to the option for INDUCTION: Option 1: ALL. Option 2: NA (I am assuming this means naturally aspirated) Option 3: Turbo. Option 4: Supercharger. Which of these do I need to choose if my Si is stock and I will be adding the INJEN CIA to the map. Like I said this may be a newb/rookie question but this is my second post and would rather wait to get the answer I need and not risk damaging the engine in my brand new car. Thanks in advance.

You want NA. Unless you're running a turbo kit or supercharger you're still NA (naturally aspirated) rather than FI (forced induction)

Haven't heard anything yet. Most of us either had it dyno tuned or e-tuned. I would recommend asking one of our resident tuner guys before trying it out.

I have the injen CIA and the Injen axle back exhaust. I also have the hondata reflash. Will getting the pro make a huge difference for me or am I just wasting more money like I think I already have? would appreciate any feedback with anyone who has experience and who has used it. THanks.

While a custom tune will always come out over a generic like the reflash, you may want to wait until you get a downpipe. That us just my 2 cents though.
