Description

The DiabloSport inTune i3 Platinum (PN 8245) is a high‑performance handheld programmer designed for GM vehicles from 1999 to 2016 (gasoline and Duramax diesel). It offers dyno‑tested performance tunes, full data logging, custom tune capability via CMR, Wi‑Fi updates, and touch‑screen ease—all without major installation.

 

Key Features:

  • Plug‑and‑play handheld unit: connects via OBD-II to your vehicle’s ECU—no major hardware modifications required.

  • Pre‑loaded dyno‑tested performance programs: optimized for power, drivability, throttle response, and fuel economy.

  • Supports custom tuning: accepts third‑party CMR custom tunes, ideal for aftermarket bolt-on upgrades or high‑performance builds.

  • Full touch‑screen color display with 5‑volt data‑logging inputs and real‑time monitoring.

  • Wi‑Fi or PC/Mac software updates: keep your tuner firmware current and compatible.

  • Diagnostic functionality: read and clear DTCs (trouble codes), calibrate tire size/speedometer, gear ratios, disable AFM/DOD where supported.

  • Multi‑vehicle licensing: tune more than one vehicle (license fees may apply) for fleets or multiple vehicles.

  • Durable compact unit: Body dimensions ~5″ (L) × 6″ (W) × 2.5″ (D); weight ~1 lb.

 

Vehicle Fitment:
This tuner is built for many GM vehicles (gasoline and Duramax diesel) from model years 1999 through 2016.
Examples include:

  • Chevrolet Silverado 1500/2500/3500 (1999‑2016)

  • GMC Sierra 1500/2500/3500 (1999‑2016)

  • Chevrolet Camaro (1999‑2016)

  • Chevrolet Corvette (1999‑2016)

  • Cadillac Escalade (as listed)

  • Duramax Diesel variants (2001‑2010 for full features)

Important Fitment Notes:

  • This part is not California CARB‑compliant and is not legal for sale or use in California until further CARB certification.

  • Always verify your vehicle’s engine, transmissions, and current ECU state before tuning.

  • Custom tuning requires aftermarket modifications or intentional performance goals; stock vehicles may still benefit, but gains vary.

 

What’s Included:

  • (1) inTune i3 Platinum handheld tuner unit (PN 8245)

  • (1) OBD‑II vehicle interface cable

  • (1) USB (or mini‑USB) cable for PC/Mac connection & firmware updates

  • Quick Start Guide / Instruction Manual included

 

Technical Specifications:

  • Brand: DiabloSport

  • Part Number: 8245

  • UPC: 810115014638

  • Color Display: Yes

  • Touch‑Screen: Yes

  • Data Logging Inputs (5 V): Yes

  • Custom Tuning Capability: Yes

  • Wi‑Fi Updates: Yes

  • Personal Computer & Mac Compatible: Yes

  • Vehicle Coverage: 1999‑2016 GM vehicles (gasoline and Duramax diesel)

  • Emission Code: 7 (non‑CARB for California)

  • Weight: ~1 lb

  • Body Dimensions: 5″ L × 6″ W × ~2.5″ D

 

Ideal For:

  • Owners of GM trucks, SUVs, or performance cars from 1999‑2016 who are seeking improved throttle response, optimized shift firmness, fuel‑economy gains, or a tuning platform for aftermarket upgrades.

  • Enthusiasts who plan custom tuning (cams, superchargers, upgraded exhaust/intake) and need a flexible handheld programmer capable of accepting custom tune files.

  • DIY‑savvy users who prefer plug‑and‑play solutions rather than complex ECU swaps.

 

Usage & Installation Summary:

  1. Update the inTune device firmware via Wi‑Fi or PC/Mac as needed.

  2. Connect the unit to your vehicle’s OBD‑II port.

  3. Read and save the vehicle’s original factory tune (for restoration if needed).

  4. Select your desired tuning mode (e.g., 91‑octane, performance, custom file upload).

  5. Follow on‑screen prompts to calibrate tire size, gear ratio, disable AFM/DOD if applicable.

  6. Drive and monitor via live data or exported logs; restore to factory if required for warranty/service.

 

Why This Tuner Stands Out:
This unit gives you the flexibility of both pre‑built dyno tunes and the ability to go custom, which many standard handheld tuners do not offer. It supports data‑logging, diagnostics, and calibration functions all within a compact handheld device. For GM‑vehicle owners anticipating upgrades or wanting serious control, the 8245 model is a strong choice.

Testimonials

Looks like I get to be the first review for these guys. Let me start out by saying that I have had 3 other cars of a similar caliber to my GTR serviced/worked on and upgrades installed at other shops and none took the pride and level of detail that these guys did. I wish I could see all the welds on the downpipes and exhaust because it looked like artwork. Their fabricator made sure to send me daily updates and pictures which was also a big deal to me. For being an out of state experience it made it seem more like they were local to me and that I had known them for longer.

- James Lowe

Took the leap of faith on buying a set of their R35 intakes and downpipes because the price was half of anyone elses plus their car hauls a** at the track. Install went smooth and the power seems to be even better than advertised. Cant wait to get tuned in a few weeks. Their shelf tune honestly has to be 600+ hp as I pulled on a Hellcat last night. I see these guys and gals going a long ways if they can get out there and advertise. Customer service is on point paired with BIGGG savings for the winning combo.

- Luca Harris

Bought a Motec and had these guys build the harness and set it up fully. Track car that received the level of attention and detail of a show car while here. Made me feel at home every time I popped in for a visit and always offered to buy me lunch/dinner. I don’t see me shopping anywhere else as they make you feel like your family.
