It's an add-on to ktuner you would have to have it already. Phearable is known in the Civic Type R community and starting to be in the accord 2.0 i believe. I think you can buy ktuner and this new tune together from him.

Rob5150

not for the rdx
its for the accord

jeffrey sousa

he just released it yesterday its on his instagram. He's doing the TLX 2.0 too

Rob5150

Ahh ok I see-
Curious to hear about it
somebody try it!

I’ve been patiently waiting for this tune to be released on the RDX platform. I’ll purchasing the tune this today. Hoping to have it installed by the weekend will be posting a separate review on it once it’s all said and done.

Oil Stain

Just ordered. Can't wait...

Cool just did the stage 2 and just picked up the car 3 weeks ago. Wanted to wait a few more miles then get this on. Love a comparison between this and stage 2.

Good luck guys looking forward to feedback

Danukidd

will let you know for sure I’ve been running stage 2 since April. Will definitely post a review once I have the tune.

Oil Stain

I'm currently running a modified stage 2, that I have been working on for a while now. Much better than the normal stage 2. So, I can't wait to see the stage 3 vs mine.

Looks like us folks in California might have issues due to poor fuel quality using this tune...

jeffrey sousa

You would have to cut it with e85 if available

So far so good, did the close loop cycle on the ECU and then a few pulls.

Its seems compared to the Stage 2 with maxed settings you need to have a bit more throttle input, but the delivery is definitely smoother and more linear than before.

Some of the rough edges with the stage 2 are cleaned up a bit, you can tell the car is making a bit more power than before as the transmission isn't constantly trying to figure out what it wants to do.

I have an AWD with most of the bolt on's and the best I could get full tank in 97 degrees with the stage 2 is a 14.22 at 94.88 mph, I suspect with turning the throttle damping off it could probably see high 13's.

Interested to drive it some more and offer feedback, unfortunately I can can confirm its not like having a CTR V2 turbo and some E30.

Stage 3, is more refined than stage 2 for sure. I need to drive the car for a couple hundred miles to see how the tune truly is. IMO it's not that far off from the tune I made. Sport mode throttle is not as aggressive as before. Comfort and Sport+ seem to remain the same. All in all it's worth getting, this is as close you are going to get to having a custom tune.

I would think that now would be a good time to upgrade that intercooler. We've seem some issues with the factory unit and now with stage 3 they have pushed the tune to the max as to what the factory intercooler can do. That would be my recommendation for the next upgrade. You will gain more power having cooler denser air than say adding a down pipe at this point.

any vendors doing Black Friday sales for KTUNER ?

Type X

yes.
axion will be doing a sale



just flashed mine this week & love it

markm929

If I might ask, as a fellow Mac owner. What cable are you using to connect the KTuner to your USB-C port? Or are you using a USB-A to USB-C adapter? Thanks

Funz51

I have a macpro and parallels just like you. I use a short cable. Get a robust one off Amazon. I have not had any issues burning.

Padre Dave

Agreed. I have the same setup on my MacBookPro. I bought a nice set of cables on Amazon and have had no issues burning or downloading.

Padre Dave

Is Stage 3 a download from K-Tuner?

Type X

i have a few apple usb a to c adaptors but in that pic above i was using a usb c multi that has a few usb a slots/ mem card/ hdmi since it was what i had in the bag.

i run bootcamp for the ktuner software and partitioned a small space just for it

Type X

stage 1/2 is ktuner pre loads &
stage 3 that everyone mentions is phearable

i do wish the rdx had dual tune toggle like my 2017 crv did but without eco button and the dynamic mode knob its prob a ton of extra coding that they dont want to do lol

omgthedonny

what is axion ? And where can I buy it from them ! I want stage 2 so bad

Hondata's tune does precisely this:

"Stage 2 is configured for Stage 1 performance in snow and comfort and Stage 2 performance in Sport and Sport + modes."

jeffrey sousa

Hondata is great for that factory feel... ktuner will get you max performance.

omgthedonny

Is there any issue using Ktuner v2 preloaded tune for the 2021 RDX? I didn’t see the 21 on the list of ECUs on axion website when I ordered mine today

jeffrey sousa

No that's what I have

KSeriesTuner

Check the KTuner site for your ECU number. That's always going to be the most up to date list.

omgthedonny

So I just got my ktuner and flashed the car. All warning lights lit up and car stuck in sport mode - I drove a couple miles and they were still lit so I pulled over and shut the car off and waited a minute then started it up and everything was clear!

did a few pulls and holy shit it is night and day difference feels more like my bmw used to pull you back in the seat!

Such a no brainer for the price it is sooo worth it.

I also put my settings to the most aggressive but lvl 1 throttle like others said. Car makes me giggle now 😹🤤😻

omgthedonny

Funz51

Nice huh? I love it. Make sure you try tapping the right paddle just before take off.

Type X

you set these for stage 1 and 2?

fezzy07

Not sure what I’m doing wrong tried using 2 different MacBooks with parallels but I get the message that it wants to lock to my ecu, I got the car on accessory mode and it keeps throwing my a loop after I click ok and not getting past . Any ideas?

Funz51

first I assume you have it registered properly thru the software. If so, then contact ktuner directly. I have never seen that. That is the type of message that senses that you are trying to burn without the correct credentials.

fezzy07

This is what I’m talking about if anyone else knows but I’ll send them a email

Padre Dave

Yes, this is normal.The K-Tuner is for YOU and your car…so it needs to get “married” to your ECU….

fezzy07

non stop loop with clicking ok while ktuner is plugged into OBD, connected to laptop , in accessory mode (clicked engine start 2 times and all electronics on )

I’ve restarted laptop
unplugged but The ktuner isn’t blinking either like the led guide on the website says it should be for a brand new unit.

Funz51

it may not be plugged in all the way. double check to make sure no pins are bent, and make sure it gets a good fit.

fezzy07

yeah still missing with it right now . Blue/green solid light it what I have on the unit when plugged into car OBD by itself and when connected to laptop.

this is from ktuner site “ Idle - No ECU Communication Detected (Unit Unlocked)” when it’s blue/green solid light.

Most people use their youtube walkthrough on the first flash and pause from step to step
