INSTALLATION
1. The software is found on the evolve USB flashdrive,
titled ‘evolve-R.exe’. Copy and paste this file to your
desktop. Double-click to run - evolve-R software
is compatible with Windows©2000, Windows©Xp or
Windows©7. For use with Mac, please ensure you are
running Windows in Bootcamp, Parallels or VMWare
Fusion.
2. Plug the evolve-R cable into your PC USB port.
3. Upon launching the software, the drivers will be
installed automatically.*
4. Ensure all other software such as screensavers, power
saving mode, alarms or any other programs that
could interrupt the process are closed and that your
laptop has sufficient battery charge for at least 1 hours
operation or preferably plug into a mains supply. Do not
use the vehicle as a power supply.
* If the drivers are not automatically installed the software will not recognize the cable. At this point
please email technical support at support@evolveautomotive.com. • EVOLVER OPENING SCREEN. EVOLVER SOFTWARE DOES NOT NEED TO INSTALL, BUT SIMPLY LAUNCHES DIRECTLY FROM THE ‘EVOLVER’ FILE
1. Ensure your vehicle battery is sufficiently charged and
supported with a suitable charger:
To ensure a completely stable flashing process we recommend
a minimum 40A car charger to support your battery*. Please
also start the car and allow a few minutes to idle before
switching off. Ensure all lights, heating/air conditioning and
electrics are switched off and that no other battery draining
devices are connected. Also ensure your laptop has sufficient
battery and all interruptable software is disabled.
2. Firmly plug the evolve-R cable into your OBD-II diagnostics
port with the USB connected to your laptop. The socket is
located to the left on the driver’s side, on the underside of the
instrument panel under a cover (Image 2.A)

* In most cases the battery life of most frequently driven new vehicles is sufficient, but It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure the vehicle
has sufficient battery life to enable the reading and writing process, and therefore Evolve Automotive accepts not responsibility for any damage
cuased due lack of sufficient power during a read or write process.
3. Place your key into the slot, do not depress your clutch/brake,
and press ‘START’. Ignition will be on - not the engine.
4. On the evolve-R software, select ‘Identify ECU’. Vehicle
information will appear in the right hand dialog box (Image
2.B, previous page) and prompt you to code the cable to the
ECU, please select ‘Yes’. (Image 2.C)
5. Select ‘Read ECU Memory’. You will be prompted to save ECU
data. Select a secure location on your laptop to save this file.
6. The reading process should take no longer than 45 minutes
(Image 2.D). Once reading is complete please attach this data

FLASHING YOUR ECU
1. Once you have received your tuned data file, please save this
it to the same folder as your original file.
2. Follow steps 1-3 of ‘Extracting Your Vehicle ECU Data’
3. On the evolve-R software, select ‘Program ECU Memory’. You
will be prompted to select your new data file.
4. The flashing process will now begin (Image 3.A). Please
ensure this process is not interrupted in any way as
permanent ECU damage can occur.*
Please note that during the flashing process multiple error warnings may be triggered in some
cases. This is normal for certain ECU’s and does not represent an issue.
5. Once programming is 100% complete please switch off your
ignition and remove the evolve-R cable from your OBD-II port.
Wait 10 seconds before you start your engine.
Enjoy your new found powe-R!
Due to the adaptive nature of modern ECU’s a short running
period is required. This is usually no more than 15-50 miles/20-
80km’s.
* Interruption of this process involves any loss of power to the laptop or vehicle, the ignition being switched off or
unplugging of the cable.
