Review on ๐Ÿ”’ FLU-100.2 Fortin Updater Tool Flash Loader Unit - Optimized for Crime Prevention by Chris Russell

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Mainly for shop owner or remote start installer

Ordered to solve a programming problem with another device. This is a very limited tool for your collection of tools unless you're constantly installing a remote boot system. The device and drivers installed and worked properly, however online registration and an internet connection were required to use the device. It will not work without an ACTIVE internet connection and without logging into their website. Personally I don't care as you will need to agree to any legal requirements their legal team may make in the terms and conditions which you will need to agree to when creating your account. I didn't see any error creating my account, but this can change at any time. In addition, the first device interface can be built into all Fortin devices for MUCH LESS than the cost of this device (USB interface), and the manufacturer can provide an update through their website without this separate device, but they choose to purchase an additional one , hard-earned fee levy wage fee. by people using this method. It is not needed and not mentioned before. ATTENTION buyers if you plan to install 1 or 2 remote starters - this will cost you dearly. I installed this in my low mileage 2003 Buick Park Avenue. Today it starts on 1 try out of 10, sometimes I'm lucky and it starts on the first try, most of the time it doesn't. It hasn't gotten any better in almost 3 years. I haven't updated the firmware, but is it worth it? When I installed the remote start, the car was 12 years old! If you don't get it right by then, you probably will NEVER get it right. So here I am with an intermittent remote start and a programmer that I can slide under my door. Definitely lower the rating - rightly so.

Pros
  • Dope ๐Ÿ”ฅ
Cons
  • Some little things
