Superchips and PRO CAL
I am using Superchips for the tuning. Now I want my fogs as the DRL's and it seems PRO CAL can do it. My question is can I use both the SuperChip and Procal without them interfering with each other?

Since some functions overlap between the two (eg tire size, TPMS, ...) just make sure you use only one of them for managing a setting to prevent a conflict.

I have an 08 JKU Rubicon. It is a Canadian Jeep therefore has the daytime running lights. I have the Superchips tuner.....it does not have the feature to turn off the drl's.
My question is....can the AEV Procal be installed in conjunction with a Superchips?
I really want to turn the drl's off.

Slight correction..
For those of you that have modified their JK and have used this Tool here is a basic breakdown of the module. Hopefully this will not go over your heads I will try to Keep it simple.
AEV Pro Cal Explained
AEV Pro Cal is a simple but effective tool designed in a pure electronic no software needed design. This is attained by utilizing the ODB port that is directly connected to the ECU of the Jeep.
The design is simple. By using DIP switches they are applying a binary 1 or 0 into the system
Since the first 3 DIP switches determine the mode there are only 8 possibilities or options.
Here is the binary layout of the AEV Pro Cal for the first 3 DIP switches only
000 Restore
001 Tire Sizes 24" - 38"
010 Tire Sizes 39"- 54"
011 Axle Ratio
100 Engine Funtions
101 Options Mode
110 Runtime Functions
111 Low Tire Pressure Threshold
The Remaining 6 Dip switches determine the value of each mode by again adding a 0 or a 1 to the binary number that is transmitted to the ECU of the Jeep. Therefore there are 64 possibilities per mode that can be inputed.
Here is an example of the Binary code that Represents the One Touch Lane change in the Off setting.
101 Options Mode
00 One Touch Lane change
0000 OFF
Here is the Binary code that the ECU would read
10100000
In the Decimal system this Value is 140
The AEV module works off a 9 DIP switch system using a binary code If you take the 8 modes and 64 Possible values. There are 512 total decimal numbers that can be generated by this device.
Here is the Math 8X64=512 bits
We generally do not use bits in our everyday life so here is another conversion there are 8 bits in a byte so take 512 a divide by 8
512 / 8 = 64 bytes
Most don't even know how much a byte is so here is another conversion there are 1024 bytes in a Kilobyte so take 64 and divide by 1024
64 / 1024 = .0625 Kilobyte or .06K
Hopefully this was not too much of a bore. But I thought it was cool that AEV kept it simple instead of making a tool that had fancy LCD screens, software/Firmware that would jack the price through the roof. They Kept it simple old school and to the point.

Great explanation!.. But there are a couple of typos that are easy to miss and can lead to confusion. The binary value you wrote is 10100000 which would equal the decimal value of 160 not 140. However, the binary value should be 101000000 which would actually be a decimal value of 320. I only point this out so that those trying to make sense of all this binary stuff don't pull out their hair because they can't make the math work.
Note that the LSB (Least Significant Bit) is the position at the far right. In other words the value of "1" to the far right represents 1 in decimal, if the value of the second position from the right is a "1" it represents 2 in decimal. If the third position from the right is a "1" it represents 4 in decimal and if the fourth value from the right is a "1" it represents 8 in decimal. See the pattern? Each position doubles in value because there are two available values for each position. So the progression would be 1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256 etc. beginning from the RIGHT. So, to determine the decimal value of 10100000 you would add 128 and 32 to total 160. (FWIW decimal 140 would be represented as 10001100 in binary [128+8+4=140]). The actual decimal value you meant would be 101000000 binary or 256+64 = 320 decimal.
EXAMPLE:
0001 equals decimal 1.
0011 equals three as the LSB(far right) is 1 and equals a decimal value of 1. The second bit has a decimal value of 2. Therefore 1 plus 2 equals 3.
0111 equals 7 as the LSB(far right) is 1 and the second bit has a decimal value of 2 and the third bit has a decimal value of 4. So 1+2+4=7
1000 equals 8 as the first three bits have a decimal value of zero and the MSB(Most Significant Bit) has a decimal value of 8.
Again, Great explanation.. I know how confusion it can be when the math does not work.

I just reset my Procal to factory so I could try the new Flashpaq (beta); it's two clicks forward, right before starting.
