Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this Unichip Plug-n-Play (PnP) kit. The Unichip system differs from run-of-the-mill reflash
tuning products because its a fully functional programmable tuning computer integrated into the vehicles stock
management system via the PnP harness.
The concept of a piggy-back tuning computer such as our legendary Unichip is that it intercepts signals from engine
sensors, changes these signals according to timing and fuelling algorithms formulated by our tuners and then feeding
the modified signals back to the vehicles stock Engine Control Unit (ECU) to create the desired changes such as
timing advancement and fueling manipulation.
The PnP harness connects between the stock vehicle sensor male and female connectors: we disconnect a stock
connector, plug our connector into the sensor, then plug the stock connector into the back of our connector. Our
highly dependable PnP harnesses comprise predominantly Original Equipment (OE) terminals and connectors and
only the finest SAE specification wiring. Coated fiberglass heat shielding is used in heat sensitive areas.
In this Jeep Wrangler 3.6 kit, the PnP harness ties into three engine sensors, namely the Throttle Body, the MAP
sensor, and the Crank sensor, so in each instance you will disconnect the factory connectors from its sensor, plug
the Unichip PnP harness male connectors into the sensors, then plug the stock connectors into the PnP harness
female connectors.
The Unichip is powered from the vehicles battery and wakes up and falls asleep according to the stock ECU
cycle, which is not necessarily the same time as when the ignition key is turned on or off. At first glance the
installation may seem daunting, but if you carefully follow the instructions you will find it straight forward. Installation
time should be about 25 minutes with approximately an extra 15 minutes if you choose to install the Flux2 Display as
well.
Please carefully read the instructions completely before commencing the installation. Familiarize yourself with the
relevant sensors according to the pictures and pay special attention to the correct routing of the PnP harness. Also
pay careful attention to how the connectors are unlocked before they can be removed as none of the connectors
are designed to merely pull-off: each one has a button or two which needs to be depressed before the connector
will disconnect.
Application
Note that the battery on right hand drive vehicles is located on the opposite side of the engine bay and this kit is not
designed for those vehicles. Owners who choose to modify a harness to work on right had drive Jeeps do so at their
own risk and UNA assumes no responsibility for modified harnesses.

Mapping
Each kit is pre-programmed at the factory to suit specific bolt-on part configurations. Our tuners optimize tuning
parameters carefully to maximize engine performance based on the various bolt-on parts. So if you select a map for
instance for your Volant Cold Air Intake, rest assured that we have spent hours perfecting mapping for that exact
intake. You will notice that we do not need to know by brand which cat back exhaust you have, nor are we concerned
with things that do not affect engine tuning such as throttle body spacers or larger tires.
When you order your PnP kit without the Flux2 Display, the kit will be programmed with two maps, usually a regular
gas map and a premium map, both maps being optimized for the specific bolt on parts on your Jeep. You may switch
between maps by means of our 2-way switch which is connected to the PnP harness COMM port. The switch may
be stowed in the engine compartment or you may route it into the cabin for ease of access. The position of the map
switch relative to which map the particular position selects is discussed later on in the instructions. Should you
upgrade the kit to our Flux2 Display, the Unichip in the kit will be programmed with 5 maps to suit bolt-on parts,
typically: a low octane map, a mid-octane map, a premium map, a premium no-tow map, and a valet map. The Flux2
display shows which map is selected and displays a brief description of the map.
Since the Unichip is a self-contained computer, it can be re-programmed an infinite amount of times. So should you
add parts to your Jeep in the future, we can provide maps to suit. Should you decide to ever sell your Unichip PnP
kit, it can be re-programmed to suit a new owners specific vehicle.
Warnings and Cautions
Please pay very special attention to warnings, cautions & tips printed in red in these instructions. Even experienced
mechanics occasionally forget to secure a wiring harness with a cable tie, or inadvertently leave a wrench or two
under the hood after work has been completed!
Thanks again for purchasing the kit, we are sure that you will enjoy the benefits!
Before you begin
Please pull the packing checklist out of the kits Welcome Pack and inventory and review the parts before starting to
work. If you discover any missing parts, please contact UNA before installing the kit.

If you are installing the Flux 2 Display, skip to page 23. If you are installing the basic kit, continue below.
Non-Flux2 Installation
1. Connect the Map Select Switch to the PnP Harness connector marked COMM.
2. The Map switch may be cable tied to the firewall harness for ease of location in future or routed into the
passenger compartment.
3. Connect the PnP 24-pin Molex connector labeled Unichip into the Unichip.
Note the little locking tab on the side of the male 24-pin connector must lock into the catch on the female 24-pin
connector. You may use some of the supplied dielectric grease on the connector if you anticipate water entry this
high up in the engine bay (unlikely, as the fuse box would be covered in water by then). If you choose to apply the
grease, do so liberally and ensure you cover all connections completely.

Note: (1) More is not always better adding more timing can actually reduce power if your particular vehicle is sensitive to detonation. If the stock ECU
detects detonation, it reduces timing to protect the engine. If youre truck doesnt seem to make more power than stock and youre running Map 1, switch
back to Map 0 and you will feel the power increase. This condition can and does occur even without a CEL.
