Disclaimer
Aces EFI is an Engineering and R&D-driven company focused on continuously adding new features and improving existing ones across our systems. However, not every update we release is a recommendation for all users to apply to their systems. The majority of updates are designed for specific features or systems, and they may not be relevant to your setup. Even updates labeled as improvements or optimizations to parameters and calibrations are often minor and may not have a noticeable impact on most applications.
That said, certain systems or applications can benefit from specific updates. We encourage you to use discretion and reach out to our team for guidance on whether an update would benefit your system.
Important Notes:
- Firmware Updates and Calibration
When you update your Handheld device to the latest firmware, it may include updated calibration files for your system. If this happens, you will also need to upgrade your ECU calibration. - Backup Recommendations
Before upgrading your Handheld firmware, we strongly recommend backing up your tune using our USB Data Cable (AH2500) and Laptop Tuning Software.
For any questions or assistance in determining if an update is suitable for your system, feel free to contact our support team.

PC Tuning Software:
- The calibration data export and import functions were added to the current calibration interface.
- The mouse right-click function was added to X Point and 1D type data editing, which can automatically fill in the data now.
- "Help" has been added to the calibration interface. Currently, it does not cover all calibration items and will be gradually completed in the future.
- A waiting animation was added when entering the system to read the configuration file.
- When a CAM Type is selected, the 2D calibration list will highlight the currently selected VE table.
- When a MAP type is selected, the values and ranges of the MAP X-axis Point, AFR MAP, Learn MAP x, Idle MAP X-axis Point, and Fuel Correction MAP calibration items can be scaled proportionally according to the selected MAP type, and a pop-up prompt will also appear. The user can choose to automatically scale or not to scale.
