Installation Guide
Welcome to RacingLine PDM : Power Delivery Module.
Below is the user guide to get you ready to flash your car's ECU and/or TCU using our new PDM tool to unlock a whole new level of performance!
It's a simple process, but please take time to read this guide carefully before starting as any errors with your hardware, internet connection or usage of the PDM system could cause problems with your vehicle.
The RacingLine PDM Tuning Portal allows you to access your performance software suite, ranging from stock, to Stage 1, 1+, 2 and 3 (where available), TCU transmission tuning and different fuel options with our simple to use flashing process.
The portal allows you to upload both ECU and TCU tuning to your vehicle yourself without the requirement of visiting one of our RacingLine approved Software dealers.
As RacingLine offers free upgrades for the registered vehicle, the portal will allow users to upgrade from Stages 1 through 3, subject to installation of the required supporting hardware or fuel types, and to return to stock at any time.
It is your responsibility to verify the appropriate level of vehicle hardware modification, fuel type and other vehicle road legal requirements is suitable for the calibration you are installing, and accept a terms and conditions agreement each time a flash is made. RacingLine cannot be responsible for any calibration applied that doesn't support your car upgrades/fuel type/local laws.

WARNING – Never flash software that does not meet the minimum hardware requirements.
DO NOT run a vehicle on lower octane fuel than required for a selected calibration.
