Mashrock n John; the Navigator Pro cannot be used for tuning purposes on the F-CON V Pro. I too have read the reviews and speculation on the UK forums but unfortunately it's all bullshit.

How do I know? I have a Navigator Pro and all it does is monitoring of the system vitals. You can only use it to tune the F-CON S and SZ - and with those; it's only a small amount of tuning, not the entire map.

Also; the two holes out back is the tuning port and the comms port - looks like a phone socket ehh? :)

F-CONs are the way to go; they wouldn't be worth so much if they were "just a piggy back". I had a look at the world's 10 fastest GTRs and I think 7/10 were using the V Pro system (in some cases two of them)

Those plugs are used for plugging in other HKS peripherals such as the Knock Amp etc etc... there are a few other goodies that you can get for the F-CON. There is also a rumor going around that the ECU can be used to control other things such as water spray, NOS etc so maybe that's the extra controller for it.

Those numbered switches on the front panel of the ECU are for selecting the maps you want to run :)

what software version are you up on? apparently it ONLY works with the latest version. i'm awaiting a video/slideshow on the whole operation. from a highly respected gtr tuner in the uk

and hes talking about the two white plugs that hang off the loom that goes into the fcon.

well time will tell i guess.

i myself was doubting it in the beginning. but they seem pretty confident in what it can do. i've still got to get my car tuned but waiting on more parts before that gets done

is the navigator itself any good? worth the 300 bucks for it?

If you can find one for $300 then I'd jump on it... I got my one brand new for $500 which is about $150 what HKS in Australia can supply it for.

It's good for monitoring; knowing your injector duty; boost; water temp; RPM; speed; knock and unfortunately on the V Pro that's all it's good for...

The LCD screen could've done with an upgrade to say A'Pexi AVCR Style - too dull to see clearly during the day/night. *could just be my eyes*

Overall; I was under the impression that you could use it to tune the V Pro; or even at least set the A/F Correction Value but nope - not on ours.

Hopefully later on :mellow:

ok does the navagator work on every fconV or just pro versions?

are the wiring plugs the same betwwen fconV and fconV pro? eg can i unplug my fconv and install a fconv pro to that harness? or do they differ?

The navigator will actually work better on the non-V Pro versions of the F-CON as you will be able to EDIT stuffz.

I'm pretty sure the wiring harness would be the same for all the F-CON version.

      Nah, shouldn't have made any difference. Reds on, or car running, should be same same for what you were doing.

      Should be able to source 200 cell R32 cat... unsure how easy it would be to get it to Malta though.

      I've owned a few scooters over the years, a Vespa PX oil burner was my first scooter, followed by a few others, including a little 50cc BeeWee that I used as a barracks bike, and I've had a blast on all of them, they really are the cheapest for of city/suburb transport around The only issue with scooters in Australia is lots of people look down on them due to their size,  maybe they need a big bike to make up for something else where they are lacking, unlike Europe and Asia where every man an their dog owns one, and now that filtering is legal in NSW, local traffic is never a issue Not to say I haven't owned my share of big cc bikes over the years, but they were for more blasting through the hills or Hwy riding where it needed to sit on Hwy speeds Safety wise, I ride like everyone is always trying to kill me, everyone is running a red, or running stop/give way signs, or generally asleep at the wheel, which most people are duringtheir commute, I also ride really safe, and give myself, and everyone else enough room in case I need to pull some hasty evasive actions, I've done a few rider training days over the years, which has come in handy on more than a few occasions  As for mods, there's nothing really, and yes your right about aftermarket exhaust, all you get is loud and obnoxious noises from them, like every 250-300 cc you hear with a aftermarket muffler, in saying this I did put a rear muffler from a 125 Aprilla on one of my old 125 scooters, it was horrendous and no amount of full face helmet and ear plugs would dampen that noise As for coming from the Harley, and what a overpriced POS that was, I no longer do big rides as my poor old busted joints ache after about 1/2 an hour of riding, long cruises are so much more enjoyable now in a car, so a big bike would be pointless
