* EZ Lynk Install Procedure *
Upon Receiving your EZ Lynk Product/Tuning, please review and perform the Instructions/Procedure below:
EZ Lynk is a universal device/platform that is used for tuning multiple vehicle types. The below instructions contain variations for certain vehicles. Follow the steps below as they pertain to you and your vehicle.
** Indicates important notation that should be observed.
Installing an EZ LYNK device that was ordered with tuning:
- Basic Setup Procedure -
1. Using your Apple or Android Smart Device (iOS/Android) - Download the "Auto Agent" App from the App store. (Please use a device that uses cell data (or connect to your closest wifi/internet source when you get to step 8 in order to lynk to the vehicle and then download your ECU profiles)
2. Create an account using your personal email/password.
** (If you are a PPEI dealer/shop installing this product for a customer, you may create your account/log in using your "shop" or personal email to complete the process below. You may also use the customer's email to log in to the app on your device with their password, or you may create a password for them that they can change later. Ex. "1234". IF you choose to log in to the app and connect to the vehicle using your shop's email/account, inform the customer that in order for them to be able to access their profiles, they must create their own log in account on the app, then proceed on the app and select "vehicle" -> "technicians" and enter "tuning@ppei.com by selecting the "+" symbol that can be found at the top right hand corner of the screen. Once that has been done, the vehicle has been "lynked" to PPEI. The customer will then need to email/call with the VIN and email account in use to have profiles enabled on their account.)***
3. Once inside the vehicle, turn the key to the ON/RUN position
4. Connect EZ Lynk Auto Agent device to the OBD port and verify that the light is illuminated. (Leave the key in the ON/RUN position).
5. Once you have verified light is illuminated and key is in the ON/RUN position, enter the settings on your smart device, turn WIFI on and select the EZ Lynk device from your available WIFI networks. (To verify connection, you will see a check mark next to the EZ Lynk WIFI source. You will see a message below stating, "no internet connection", this is normal as this is not an internet source. This is solely a communication between the Auto Agent and your device/phone.)
6. Now that you have established WIFI connection with the EZ Lynk device, open the Auto Agent app on your phone/smart device.
7. Select "vehicle" and verify that the vehicle displayed is correct.
8. Now Select "technicians" – You should see a prompt to “lynk” with PPEI (tuning@ppei.com) (If you have any issues with this step, please see step 9)
9. Once that is complete, select "ECU Profiles". This can be found under "vehicle" on the app.
**(IF you see the message "It seems that your technician has not created any ECU Profiles for you" - you will need to call us at (337) 485-7070 or go to this link and let us know your issue by “creating a ticket”:
https://ppei.com/pages/contact
**If you have also purchased TCM tuning (Cummins or Duramax) you will need to contact us and let us know you have lynked the vehicle with us so we can add your TCM profiles. The reason for this is because not all purchases include TCM tuning, so TCM tuning cannot be “autoshared” like all other profiles available.
10. Now it is time to select your ECU Profile and install. (The ECU Profiles will have a definitive name/title indicating its appropriate use. If you are concerned, have any questions, or do not see a profile available for your specific modifications/usage, please contact us by calling (337) 485-7070 or creating a support ticket by using the link listed above in step #9. Your ticket should include the VIN and PPEI order number, as well as a description/list of your modifications and any questions as well.)
11. Once you have chosen the proper ECU Profile, verify that the key is in the ON/RUN position before continuing.
12. "Fetch" the tune profile from the cloud server by tapping the cloud symbol on the right-hand side of the profile name. (If you are using a device that is not using cell data, such as an ipad, tablet, or old iphone, you will need to fetch the profile somewhere that you have an active WIFI connection to complete this step.)
13. Once the profile has been "fetched" it will say "install" to the right of the profile. Make sure that you are connected to the EZ LYNK device (by going to your smart phone/tablet’s list of available WIFI networks and verify that the EZ Lynk device displays as “Connected”). Then verify that the key is in the ON/RUN position, and select the "Install" icon beside the tune profile you wish to install.
(**Nissan Titan Vehicles should turn on hazard lights at this time to ensure ECM readiness).
14. The app will now guide you through the flashing procedure.
(Vehicles requiring an unlock cable, Cummins and Titan, should connect the appropriate cable in the engine bay when prompted to do so. See instructions for connecting the unlock cable.)
15. Once install is complete the app will instruct you to turn the key to the off position. Once you have followed those instructions and the key is off, you may proceed. Once the button exclaiming “Let’s Go!” is displayed on the screen, you have successfully completed the flash process and are ready to start the vehicle.
**NOTE: For Cummins equipped vehicles, we recommend leaving the key in the OFF position for 10 minutes prior to starting the engine.
**IF this is an off-road vehicle with emissions equipment removed, you must have the vehicle converted to an Off-Road vehicle that is intended for Race/Competition or Recreational use in designated areas. ANY use of an off-road vehicle on legal roadways will terminate support from us. The vehicle will need to have an aftermarket, free-flowing exhaust system installed on the truck, and the EGR/throttle valve sensors must be disconnected (if not removed completely with a bypass kit) prior to starting the vehicle. We recommend flashing the vehicle prior to performing any other modifications, to ensure there are no issues.
Installing a “Support pack” (Limited or Unlimited) using an EZ LYNK Device that you already have:
1. Using your Apple or Android Smart Device (iOS/Android) - Download the "Auto Agent" App from the App store. (Please use a device that uses cell data (or connect to your closest wifi/internet source when you get to step 8 in order to lynk to the vehicle and then download your ECU profiles)
2. Create an account using your personal email/password. Or log in to your pre-existing account on the app.
** (If you are a PPEI dealer/shop installing this product for a customer, you may create your account/log in using your "shop" or personal email to complete the process below. You may also use the customer's email to log in to the app on your device with their password, or you may create a password for them that they can change later. Ex. "1234". IF you choose to log in to the app and connect to the vehicle using your shop's email/account, inform the customer that in order for them to be able to access their profiles, they must create their own log in account on the app, then proceed on the app and select "vehicle" -> "technicians" and enter "kory@ppei.com by selecting the "+" symbol that can be found at the top right hand corner of the screen. Once that has been done, the vehicle has been "lynked" to PPEI. The customer will then need to email/call with the VIN and email account in use to have profiles enabled on their account. IF the customer has not purchased an EZ LYNK unit along with the support pack or will not be using one, this step is not necessary)***

They use cloud based technology to allow you and your mechanic/technician to communicate or transmit data in real-time.
