Quick start
Get connected.
Get the app
Hit the download button above and run the installer. Drivers are bundled. Do it while you're still on your normal internet.
Join the WiFi
Connect to the Tracktuned Link network. Password tracktuned.
Attach & tune
Open the app. Hit Use on your device. A COM port appears. Fire up NSP, PCLink, AEMTuner, whatever you use. Done.
Car install
Two connections. That's it.
Mount the device
Stick it near your ECU/TCU. It's 58×58mm so it fits pretty much anywhere. Velcro, cable ties, double-sided tape, whatever works. Just keep it within USB cable reach.
Power it
The Tracktuned Link takes 5V via Micro USB. Most installations use the ECU’s 5V sensor output. Clean, switched with ignition, already there. Alternatively, wire a 12V-to-5V adapter (not included) to switched ignition.
Plug in USB
ECU/TCU USB cable into the Tracktuned Link USB-A port. Done.
Manage
Web panel & controls.
On the Link WiFi, open 192.168.8.1 for WiFi settings, status, firmware updates, and reboot. On the device: a toggle switch kills WiFi instantly, and the reset button (hold 3 s) restores WiFi defaults.
Troubleshooting
Something not right?
WiFi network doesn't show up.
Check the LED is on. Give it ~46 s after power. Toggle switch must be on. Still stuck? Hold reset 3 s to restore WiFi defaults.
App can't find any devices.
Confirm your laptop is on the Tracktuned Link WiFi (IP 192.168.8.x). Re-seat the USB cable.
Device shows but tuning software won't connect.
Hit Use in the app and check Device Manager for the new COM port. No port? Reinstall the app: drivers come with it.
WiFi keeps dropping or "communication error".
Open the web panel and pin the channel to 1, 6, or 11 (don't leave on Auto). Move the laptop closer.
