WARNING! 

To  maintain  any  warranty  provision  otherwise  entitled  to  you  and  to  ensure  correct 

operation  and  reliability,  calibrations  loaded  via  an  mTune  handset  must  be  installed 

together  with  the  correct  mountune  hardware.  Installation  must  be  carried  out  at  a  Ford 

Dealer or mountune USA.  

 

IMPORTANT! 

For installation purposes, it is important to ensure that the vehicle's battery has adequate 

power for both the mTune and the ECU.  Because of this, it is recommended that all in-car 

electronics and vehicle lights are turned off during the installation process to reduce drain 

on the vehicle's battery.  For improved safety during installation, a car battery charger can 

be connected to the vehicle during the installation and ECU flashing process. 

Getting Started 

 
 

1.  You will need the mTune and OBD-II cable to perform the installation.  Make sure the key fob 

is present inside the cabin. 

2.  Locate the vehicle's OBD-II port.  Location of the OBD-II port may vary depending on the 

vehicle model. Some models are equipped with a covered OBD-II port (Image 1). While other 
models have the OBD-II port located just under the plastic trim behind the hood release lever 
(Image 2).
