MANUAL OVERVIEW

This product is a combination of previous gas tuners sold by Bully Dog. To make a more expedient product for our dealers and a more ecient product for end users, we have combined all previous gas tuners into one amazing unit. Since particular tuners support a wider feature set but are for the most part the same in operation, make sure that as you go through this instruction manual, you READ CAREFULLY the sections that are intended for you when directed to do so.

40417 GT PLATINUM

Example: when you get to the physical install, follow the section devoted to your vehicle make whether it is Toyota®, Jeep® or other.

There are a few dierent sections in this manual that are dierent according to the make of the vehicle you are tuning. You will see directions and headings guiding you to the appropriate section when this is the case.

Driving Coach Setup

The Driving Coach is a special feature designed to be your fuel economy dashboard and information center. It provides real-time visual and audio feedback about driving eciency and where energy is being lost. The driving coach will help you understand the optimal conditions for your particular vehicle through real-time observation, giving you the power to maximize your vehicle’s fuel economy.

Two hidden bonuses of driving more eciently are: saving money on fuel and helping the environment!

Before the Driving Coach can give you accurate information, it is important to make sure that the GT Platinum is showing the correct speed. In the sections below, you will nd specic instructions for using the Driving Coach to become the best driver you can be.

40417 GT PLATINUM

Set Economy Goal

This option will allow you to select a fuel economy goal. The Driving Coach will use the economy goal to calculate your driving grade.

It is very important to select an economy goal that is realistic for both your vehicle and the kind of driving you will be doing. If you will be driving mainly in the city or on the highway, choose a goal that is very close to the advertised fuel eciency for your vehicle in that type of environment. If you will be doing a mixture, choose an economy goal between the advertised city and highway mileage for your car.

Reset Average Economy

This option will clear the values stored in the GT Platinum for the average fuel economy, the number of gallons used, and the grade in the Driving Coach.

Adjust Acceleration

This option will allow you to select the GT Platinum sensitivity for the acceleration and deceleration in the Driving Coach; this aects the driving grade assigned by the Driving Coach.

Coach Sound Setup

This option will allow you to turn the Driving Coach sounds on or o.

Showing/Hiding the Driving Coach

The driving coach is always running, even if you choose not to have the information displayed. You can show or hide the driving coach on the Main Display by holding one of the four bottom left buttons until the display cycles through to the gauge style that you want.

Page 15

Driving Coach Setup (continued)

Checking Speedometer Accuracy

First: Change the Gauge Setup to have the Speed displayed on the main display screen. See page 8 for more information about changing the information displayed on the main display screen.

Next: Go to a safe place with little to no trac where you can perform a speed test. Make sure the speed limit is at least 60 mph. Here are two dierent ways to nd out your vehicle’s actual speed:

Method 1: GPS

1. Use a GPS device to compare your actual speed and the speed displayed on the Bully Dog.

2. Calculate the Percent Difference by using this formula:

Percent dierence =

Example 1: A GPS device reads 65 mph and the GT Platinum reads 62 mph for one single moment.

GT Platinum speed - GPS Speed

GPS Speed

40417 GT PLATINUM

Step 1. Percent dierence =

Step 2. Percent dierence =

Step 3. Percent dierence = .046 or 4.6% then round up 5%

62 - 65

-3

Method 2: Stopwatch

1. Use a Stop Watch to measure how long it takes to travel one mile while traveling at 60 mph according to the GT Platinum.

Accelerate up to a speed of 60 mph (as shown on the GT Platinum) While traveling at that constant speed, record the amount of time in seconds that it takes to travel exactly one mile. *Use highway mile markers to ensure that your one mile measurement is correct.

2. Record the time.

3. Calculate the Percent Difference.

If it takes 60 seconds to travel one mile at 60 mph, then the GT Platinum is accurately reading your vehicle speed.

If it takes 2 seconds more or less than 60 seconds to travel one mile, then use the formula to the right to calculate the Percent Dierence.

Once you have calculated the Percent Dierence, you can use that information to adjust the speed display as described below

To calculate the percent dierence use this formula:

Percent dierence =

Example 1: Using a stop watch the actual time it took to drive one mile while traveling at 60 mph according to the GT Platinum was 63 seconds.

Step 1. Percent dierence =

Step 2. Percent dierence =

Step 3. Percent dierence =

Recorded Time - 60 seconds

60 seconds

63 - 60

.05 or 5.0%

Adjusting the Speed Display

1. Use one of the methods described in the previous section to determine the exact percentage dierence between the GT Platinum and your actual speed.

2. Choose the opposite percentage in the Adjust Speed Display menu.

For example, if the dierence between your actual speed and the speed displayed on the GT Platinum was 5%, you should choose -5% (negative ve percent).

Page 16

Driving Coach Setup (continued)

Checking Average Fuel Economy

It is important to check the accuracy of the average economy readout on the GT Platinum at least once every changing season. There are many reasons to check and adjust the average fuel economy, here is one example: The fuel delivered to gas stations during the winter contains an average of 1.3% less energy than the fuel delivered in warmer seasons. That means that the same amount of liquid is going into the tank, but it is 1.3% less eective, on average. There are many similar factors that aect your fuel eciency that you cannot control and the GT Platinum cannot sense or adjust for. That is why it is important to adjust the fuel economy of the GT Platinum every once in a while.

40417 GT PLATINUM

To adjust the Average Fuel Economy displayed by the GT Platinum, follow these steps:

1. Go to the gas station and get a full tank of gas.

2. Reset both of the following gauges before driving away from the gas station:

- The Average Economy on your GT Platinum.

- The trip odometer on your vehicle.

4. Drive the vehicle for an entire tank (or two)

5. Calculate your vehicle’s average fuel economy by hand using the following equation:

• NOTE: If the speedometer on the vehicle is not accurate, then the odometer will also be incorrect. You will need

to be able to calculate the exact number of miles driven

before your next reﬁll.

6. Use the equation below to calculate the Percent Difference between the average fuel economy that you have calculated and the average fuel economy that is displayed by your GT Platinum.

Adjust the Average Fuel Economy

Follow the steps listed below to change the average fuel economy that is displayed by the GT Platinum:

1. Go to the Main Menu

2. Choose Vehicle Setup

3. Choose Adjust Economy Display

4. Use the buttons on the right to move up and down the percentages

5. Choose a percent value that is the opposite sign of the Percent Difference that you calculated using the equation above.

- For example, if you determine that the Percent Difference is 14%, you should choose -14%.

Diagnostics

This option reads the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) from your vehicle engine. You can also erase these codes from here. To look up the DTC codes, the following website is very helpful: http://engine-codes.com/ You can also search for more information about DTC codes online using your favorite search engine.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Most DTCs indicate a problem with the engine, not with the tune or the tuner itself. If you want to know if a DTC is being caused by the GT Platinum or not, uninstall the tune and drive your vehicle for about one week. If the DTC comes back, there is a problem with the vehicle and you should take it to a trusted mechanic. If the DTC doesn’t come back, reinstall the tune and test drive for another week – if the DTC comes back while the tune is reinstalled, contact technical support. Be sure to have your tuner, vehicle, and a computer with internet access available when contacting technical support.

UPDATING THE GT PLATINUM

OVERVIEW

We strongly recommend that users select their vehicle (if exact vehicle is unavailable, then select a similar one) BEFORE updating with the Update Agent.

FAQs about Updating

Why do I have to update my GT Platinum?

Because it’s very important! These are just some of the reasons:

1. Vehicle manufacturers regularly change the part numbers and other information that the GT Platinum needs to know in order to communicate eectively with your engine computer. If the GT Platinum doesn’t have updated information, it may not work correctly with your vehicle. Bully Dog releases updates when necessary to keep up with any changes that vehicle manufacturers make and give our customers the best support possible.

2. Our technical support team gathers information about any problems experienced by customers and works with the engineers to x them as soon as possible. If these xes can help other people avoid similar problems, our engineers include them in the updates that we release for everybody. One of the most important troubleshooting steps we take when someone encounters a problem is to make sure they have the most recently released software version. This often immediately xes the problem!

3. Bully Dog engineers are constantly working to expand the features and vehicles that the GT Platinum is able to support. Once a new vehicle or option is unlocked, they make sure it is available to everyone by including it in the updated software version.

40417 GT PLATINUM

Do I have to update my brand new GT Platinum?

Yes! There is no way to know how long your particular GT Platinum may have been waiting on the shelf for you.

How often should I update?

Updates are released regularly, so you should check for them at least four times a year. A good rule of thumb is to check once every three months.

It is also a good idea to update the GT Platinum if you have uninstalled the tune for any reason, like taking your vehicle in for service. This will help you avoid any problems during the reinstall if the engine computer has been flashed and has new part numbers (this is very common, even for a routine vehicle service).

What is included in updates?

Updated part numbers and other information from vehicle manufacturers, tested ﬁxes for problems customers may encounter, and any additional features or vehicles that our engineers have unlocked.

How can I tell which software version I currently have?

1. Go to the Main Menu.

2. Choose the Show Settings option.

The software version is listed under System Info, next to Version. It is labeled Software.

How can I use the Update Agent to check for updates?

Start the Update Agent application and connect the Micro SD card to your computer using the card reader that came with your GT Platinum. The Update Agent should automatically recognize the Bully Dog device, check the current software, and let you know

PHYSICAL INSTALLATION

Be sure to check the list and description of included parts in the "Parts List" section of this manual.

Brief Preview

This is a quick list of the basic installation steps. You can ﬁnd more speciﬁc information about each step in the next section.

1. Connect the OBDII adapter plug to the port under the dash.

2. Plug in the power cable to the fuse box and connect it to the adapter plug.

3. Run the HDMI cable under the dash.

4. Mount and connect the GT Platinum.

The illustration below shows how to install the power wire if there is no fuse box available inside the cab of the vehicle. If a fuse box is available inside the cab, there

is no need to run the power wire through the ﬁrewall into the engine bay.

PHYSICAL INSTALLATION

Detailed Instructions

1. Connect The OBDII Adapter Plug to the OBDII Port.

• Find the OBDII port in your vehicle. As shown in the illustration, the specic location of the port can vary between dierent vehicles, but it is always somewhere under the driver’s side dash. The OBDII port will have the same shape as the end of the adapter plug.

• Once you have found the port, simply connect the adapter

plug to it.

2. Connect The Power Cable. The power cable is not really optional if you want to enjoy the originally designed functions of the GT Platinum. It is only optional under one of the following circumstances:

You do not want to keep the GT Platinum permanently installed and plan on disconnecting it when you are not actively using the unit.

You want the GT Platinum to remain on at all times, regardless of the eect that this could have on your car battery

You prefer physically switching the GT Platinum on and o and do not want it to automatically power down when you

turn the key to the o position.

OBDII Plug

Otherwise, in order for the GT Platinum to work as originally designed, it is very important for the power cable to be installed as described below:

1. Locate an ignition fuse.

• An ignition fuse is one that is controlled by the position of the key.

• Sometimes we call this a “key-on” or “key-o” fuse.

• The fuse that controls the front windshield wiper is usually perfect, but any fuse that turns o when the key is turned o will work just ne.

• Every vehicle is dierent. There is no way to provide wiring diagrams for all vehicles. You will be able to nd the information for your vehicle in the owner’s manual or online.

• Some vehicles have a fuse box inside the cab. If your vehicle does not have a fuse box inside the cab, you will need to locate the re wall and connect the power cable to the fuse box under the hood.

2. Connect the power cable to the fuse.

• You may have received a fuse tap with your GT Platinum. See below for an illustration and instructions on using the fuse tap to install the power cable.

• You can also simply put the power cable into the fuse box along with the fuse that is normally installed in that location. See the diagram and picture for more information.

• If you did not receive a fuse tap, but prefer to use one to install your power cable, you can purchase one at your local auto parts store. Be sure to ask for installation instructions if none are included with the fuse tap.

Using the Fuse Tap and Spade

1. Find and pull the fuse that you are going to use to insert the GT Platinum Power Cable.

2. Slip the fuse tap over the prong on the fuse.

3. Fit the spade over the fuse tap and crimp them together with pliers.

4. Put the tapped fuse back into the fuse box.

Detailed Instructions (Continued)

3. Run the HDMI cable under the dash.

This step helps you install the HDMI cable in a way that is discreet, stylish, and that helps to protect the GT Platinum

1. Plug one end of the HDMI cable into the port on the OBDII adapter plug.

2. Run the middle of the cable up through the dash on the driver’s side so that the end of the cable comes out near the A-pillar.

• It may be necessary to temporarily remove the weather stripping and dash panel to successfully hide the HDMI cable under the dash.

3. Make sure that there is enough slack in the cable to connect the GT Platinum when it is in the mount.

4. Connect and Mount the GT Platinum

1. Install the mount that you have chosen. If you are using the Universal Windshield Mount included with the GT Platinum, see the installation instructions in the next section.

2. Connect the HDMI cable to the GT Platinum.

3. Secure the GT Platinum to the mount.

40417 GT PLATINUM

Using the Universal Windshield Mount

IMPORTANT NOTE: Safety is your ﬁrst and most important responsibility as a driver. Safety is also your ﬁrst and most important concern when placing your GT

Platinum. Make sure the GT Platinum does not create blind spots or distract the driver.

1. Locate the T-shaped socket on the back of the GT Platinum.

2. Place the square top of the Universal Windshield Mount into the square part of the Tshaped socket on the GT Platinum.

3. Slide to the left to secure the GT Platinum to the mount.

4. Place the suction cup against the windshield and use the lever to secure the mount to the windshield.
