Directions for reading and flashing PCM ( aka ECU ECM ) maps in SDD

Running SDD 157 stable, looking for directions on how to download my PCM map so I can send it for a tune,
and also how to upload or flash the new PCM once received.

I understand some PCMs have 8 maps built into them, is there a way of selection such maps via SDD or ODB2 port?

Thanks again.

Update, there are .BIN files in the SDD folder on your computer which contain the PCM map, i'm not sure which BIN file
is for the PCM, once I figure that out, I can send it out for a tune I believe.

I will update you all as I learn as well.

I still haven't figured this out,

anyone want to chime in on how they flashed their BIN files to their PCM in SDD?

I never found out exactly how to do this either, so I didn't.
HOWEVER, SSD has all the tunes in the SSD files. But, they are all encoded XML files.

As I said a few times before , can send my equipment to tune your ECU and if you need to put it back to stock later you can always use your Sdd . Easy breezy 😉...
