Increase performance with faster gear shifts on your smart with the AutoFlash by MADNESS!

The MADNESS AutoFlash relies on updating the maps of the TCU to allow the gearbox to improve shift times and bypass the torque limiter.

The AutoFlash has been thoroughly tested both on the road and the track and we are sure you will agree that the shift and positive feel of the engine after the flash makes for a superb upgrade.

Make your smart 453 shift faster and smoother with some help from the MADNESS Autoflash!



The Autoflash will remap the TCU, improving the shift points, and bypassing the torque limiter. So, the idea of the AutoFlash is to not only increase shift speed but to increase torque limitations throughout the gearing, except for 1st and reverse gears as we leave these at factory spec for safety, which in turn changes the speed of a shift.

Improve shift times, shift points, and eliminate torque limiters with the MADNESS Autoflash for your smart!



Often times vehicle manufactures will limit the full potential of a vehicle to compensate for all levels of drivers and maintenance, or because the manufacturer knows that in 18 months they will be releasing a more powerful version of that vehicle and can adjust the limiters to allow for this power increase.

So, the idea of the AutoFlash is to not only increase shift speed but to increase torque limitations throughout the gearing which in turn changes the speed of a shift.

Improve transmission performance in your smart with the MADNESS Autoflash!



This little device will remap your TCU to improve shift times, bypass limitations, and change shift points for an overall better experience!

Best of all, the dealers will never know you have it installed!

It will not trigger a flash counter that would alert a dealer to software changes.


We have versions for the 450, 451, 453, Roadster, and Crossblade!

Hello!

How can I know if i’m installing or uninstalling the Flash? It’s 451
Regards
Hello GeorgeAgsMex,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

There are 7 steps for the installation of the AutoFlash.

1. Switch your ignition ON but do not start the engine. Ensure your dash lights are on.
2. Locate the OBDII port on your vehicle (usually located in the driver's footwell)
3. With the ignition still in the ON position (engine NOT started), Insert the flash tool into the OBDII port. You should hear an audible beep and the LED should illuminate.
4. Once the upgrade is complete, the unit will begin to beep constantly confirming the process has been completed successfully.
5. Removed the AutoFlash from the OBDII port and switch the ignition to the OFF position
6. Start the engine and idle your vehicle for a few minutes.
DO NOT TOUCH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL.
The vehicle is in its learning phase and must idle. If the accelerator is pressed, removed the battery terminal for 15 minutes and restart the process from step 1.
7. After 5 minutes at idle you may now drive the vehicle using the full rev range.

The AutoFlash does not have the ability to write the stock program back to the TCU. The dealership would have to perform an update.
Then the AutoFlash can be re-installed after dealer work the same method.

If you still need some assistance the best bet would be to reach out to Eric in our California Location at 562-981-6800 ext: 109 and he can help talk you through the process.

Thank you again!
