The release of the VIVID PAQ for Jeep applications is going to be a nice little setup for those looking to get into the next step in tuning technology. I hope to have some Jeep specific screen shots I will post up here sometime in the next few weeks.

Absolutely, I am hoping to carry these items in my store.

[Sal-XK]

Any news on the release and if you're going to be selling them? I'll be looking at getting this I think when it comes out unless I blow my allowance on something else first LOL.

Well hopefully we will have both by the time you decide.

Any custom tuning support for these?

[Scott@Superchips]

The VIVID PAQ for 98-2010 Jeep applications was released to our vendors last week so dealers should be starting to stock their shelves this week. The VIVID LINQ is being finalized now and should be available by February if all goes according to plan.

Yes, we currently offer custom transmission tuning options allowing you the ability to manually adjust your shift points up and down throughout the RPM range and by pedal percentage (5% up to WOT). This feature is available online and is $40.

We also offer 2 custom options for tuning your vehicles TPMS where you can lower the settings to the legal limit for street use or tune it to 0 for offroad use. Both of these features are free to download. The offroad option requires that you read and agree to an online waver detailing the offroad only usage of the option.

[Sal-XK]

What's the difference between the two?

[Scott@Superchips]

The VIVID PAQ includes the Archos Android device preloaded with the VIVID tuning software app and the VIVID LINQ which plugs into your vehicles data port for tuning the vehicle as it receives the bluetooth signals from the Archos device.

The VIVID LINQ feature by itself allows those who already have an Android 2.2 tablet or phone the ability to tune their vehicles by just downloading the Superchips VIVID software for free off the Android Marketplace and then pair the two together. If you already have an Android 2.2 device this is the best bang for the buck between the two.

Ok cool thanks!

Is there a list of standard features posted some where? (specific to the jeep model) I would hate to purchase this just to find out what I wanted it for requires another license to purchase.

Scott scott, is this going to include the 3.7 along with the v8's?

[Scott@Superchips]

Our Jeep Flashpaq programmer PN. 3875 provides tuning solutions for the following Jeep models:

98-01 4.0L Grand Cherokee
98 Grand Cherokee 5.2L & 5.9L
99-04 Grand Cherokee 4.0L, 4.7L & 4.7L H.O.
05-08 Grand Cherokee 4.7L, 4.7L H.O. & 5.7L HEMI
06-08 Commander 4.7L, 4.7L H.O. & 5.7L HEMI
98-06 Wrangler TJ 4.0L
07-10 Wrangler JK 3.8L

The new VIVID PAQ Android tuning device PN. 538750 covers the same applications but starts at 2003 through 2010 due to the fact that several of the new Advanced Data Acquisition features do not receive any data from pre 2003 models.

We also offer a product called the Trail Jammer EXT for 98-06 4.0L Wrangler TJ models. This feature includes a custom cold air intakle, Throttlebody and Flashpaq programmer specifically calibrated for the combo.

The 3.7L was discussed but when market research was compiled there was not enough interest shown so that option was not offered. Hopefully in the future demand will increase to where we can revisit the option.

Thats funny because most of the XKs I see on the road (here anyway) are the 3.7s. Along with all the Libertys in the 3.7 too.

I took today off from my full time job to catch up on some things around the house, the new business and the forums when my peace and quite was disturbed by the doorbell. I looked out my office window to see the FedEx lady running to her van so I knew something came for someone.

To my surprise I found a box on the doorstep (okay wasn't really a surprise).

https://theultimatejeep.com/images/imported/2012/02/VIVID1-1.jpg

After opening the box I found my new VIVID had arrived.

https://theultimatejeep.com/images/imported/2012/02/VIVID3-1.jpg

And I quickly opened the box to make sure it was there :)

https://theultimatejeep.com/images/imported/2012/02/VIVID5-1.jpg

More to follow...

[LWM]

What's in the box?

1) ARCHOS 4.3 Android Tablet with VIVID APP Preloaded
2) VIVID LINQ
3) USB Cables
4) ARCHOS 4.3 Windshield Mount
5) 12V Car Charger
6) 110V Wall Charger
7) LINQ Zip Tie & Velcro Packet
8) Instruction Manuals

Wow, I love the Hi-Tech factor this thing has. But that's the inner nerd in me.

[Sal-XK]

Ya I'm loving it as well.

Will the Steel Armadillo carry the LinQ? I already have an android phone that will run the app.

Yes, we carry the full line of Superchips products. I do not see the LinQ on the parts list so I will call on Monday and confirm but I cannot see any reason that product would not be included, I know we have access to the VIVID.

[Matt]

I don't think the LinQ is released yet... but is coming very soon. Let us know what you find out. :)
