Thank you for purchasing the Smarty Touch! We have put a lot of hard
work into the production of this tuner, and we sincerely hope you enjoy it. This is
a guide that explains most features for the Smarty touch.

ECM Tuning & DTC is where the tuning side of things will be handled.
Whether that is adding power to the truck, changing the tire size, or reading
codes. This will be explained more in depth shortly.
Config Tools is where you can do things like request unlock codes (for TNT-R and
SSR software), play with the audio, brightness, and Dashboard settings (such as
refresh rate).
Smarty Touch Info will have options to show the current VIN number the
Smarty is locked to, the version of Chrysler software on the ECM, and more
information that is mostly used on our end for troubleshooting purposes.
You will notice that in the bottom right corner of the screen there are two
icons. Ideally, they should both be green. The left icon is for communication, and
the right icon is for the SD card.
This section explains the options and processes for programming the ECM
of the truck, checking for diagnostic codes, and adjusting the tire size.
Below is the menu that shows next. Power on Demand is currently only
available on the 2003-2009 trucks. This allows you to make adjustments while
driving, and is explained in a separate guide. Note this only shows up once the
truck is programmed.
ECM refers to the Engine Control Module, IE: the engine computer. This is
where all of the tuning is going to be selected and take place.
The ABS option is for tire size. This will allow you to correct the
speedometer when running an after-market tire size. If you spend most of your
time towing or loaded, we recommend loading the truck before taking your
measurement (for best results). Note this option will not be present until the
truck is programmed with a CaTCHER software.
This section will cover how to change the Power on Demand setting. For an
explanation of how it works, see:
http://smartyresource.net/forum/content.php?118-Power-On-Demand
Keep in mind this option will not be present until the tuner is loaded on the
truck.
In this menu, you can pick any value between 0-99, then hit program. 99
being the highest power, 0 being the least. There is another way to change this,
however:
This can be useful for slippery road conditions, letting someone borrow the truck
or just simply governing yourself.
This section will show what the process of checking for DTC's will look like.
If there are codes stored, simply hit the Clear button to erase them:
At this point, you can exit and go back to the main menu!
To get to the tuning options, we want to select the ECM menu option:
Keep in mind that you cannot change the tire size of the vehicle until it is
programmed (ABS Option).
This sub-section will describe the power levels for the different
applications.
1998.5-2002:
After selecting the “Power Levels:” Option, this is the menu that will be
present.
Select your power level based on the chart listed on page 8/9. Press on the
desired level, and hit the enter button.
After selecting a power level, the next thing we are going to do is set up
the Adjustable Options. By default, they are set on stock values. We recommend
setting all of the options to a value of 1 (For timing, torque, rail pressure etc)
until you have a good idea of how the truck feels. Different year models will have
slightly different settings.

The next menu after selecting all of your options, and hitting the “NEXT”
Button will look something like this:
If you wish to modify the limiter on your top speed, this is where you can
set it in Miles per Hour. After you have done this (or decided not to), go ahead
and hit the program button.
ABS Update
In the “ECM Tuning & DTC” menu, you will see this screen:
Once we select the ABS option on the touch, you will see this menu:
Simply select the value you need, and hit program! The change should now
be active in the truck.
This section describes the options inside of the “Config Tools” menu option.
First, we will want to select Config tools shown above. From there, you
have a few options:
Not listed on this image is “Unlock Codes”. These currently are only
available for 5.9L Common rail trucks. You may have to scroll down using the
arrows to find it.
First, let's start off with Unlock Codes. You will see the following menu
once selected:
Once we select the “Request Unlock Code(s)” it will bring you to a menu
with two checkboxes, One is for TNT-R, one for the SSR. The TNT-R Software is
free, we charge for the SSR software (please contact us for current pricing). For
more details on the software for either option, give us a call or email.
Display Brightness
On this part of the menu you can do a few things. The most useful being
the “Use Sensor” Option. The monitor has a sensor in the front that will detect
the current light level, and adjust the brightness accordingly.
We have tested this in full sunlight, and the screen should be very
readable.
You can use the Min / Max settings to set the range you would like it to
automatically adjust within.
If you simply want to leave the brightness in one place, put both sliders in
the same location and hit save.
Dashboards
This section describes how to change the options that have to do with
dashboards. Let's go over changing the parameters that the touch will monitor.
The first thing we will want to do is pick a dashboard to start working with.
These are shown as “A”, “B”, “C”, and “D” on the main menu of the Smarty.
Once you select this, it will then bring up the following screen:
http://smartyresource.com/smartytouchpids.aspx
Once we select an option and hit the enter button, this is what you will
see:
You are able to select the range that the gauges will actually show. In our
example of engine speed, most people will not need more than the 3500 RPM.
However, for those who will need more, you can set the range much higher.
The alarms will allow the Smarty to flash and make noise once a certain
value of a parameter is met, if it is set up correctly. For example: On a stock
engine you would not want to run more than around 3200 RPMs. You could set
an alarm to let you know once you have hit that point.
Adjusting the range is fairly simple. Simply press on the zone you would
like to adjust (you must touch the green bubble). You will then see this menu:
Simply input the value you would like, and hit enter! The menu will be very
similar for each part of the range.
The menu here is fairly simple: A minimum and a maximum alarm. Check
a box for each alarm you would like to use, and adjust the value by pressing on
the green box to the right. You will see a keypad identical to the previous ones.
As shown above, next we want to select “Dashboards”. You will then see
the following menu:
The “A”, “B”, “C”, and “D” reference the menu options seen on the main
menu. With these, you can configure each of the dashboards individually.
Let's take a look at “A”, for example (keep in mind the options for each are
the same).
With rail pressure, the last couple of digits change VERY quickly. Probably
too fast for most to keep up with in a lot of conditions. While this is technically
the most accurate (especially for data logging), it can be hard on the eyes to
read. So what you would do, is turn the refresh rate down. The Smarty will slow
the number of samples taken from the computer, which will slow the changing of
the value down.
The last option is simply to switch which gauge layout you would like. For
more information, see this link:
http://smartyresource.com/smartytouchlayouts.aspx
If you select PID's refresh speed, here is the menu you will see:
This section will cover the menu options for the audio settings. Let's
navigate to the “Config Tools” menu option.
The options on this menu are fairly simple. Ensure the box is checked if
you would like the option enabled. You can also adjust the values with the slider.
The first method is when the Smarty first powers on. If it is not currently
vin locked to a truck, it should show this disclaimer:
The other best way to check if the tuner is vin locked, is to first navigate to
“Smarty Touch Info”. This is accessed from the main menu.
If the Smarty Touch is not VIN locked, the above screen will inform you of
that.
There are two ways to apply the update to the Smarty. The first is to unplug the
Micro-USB connector on the back of the monitor (after the Micro SD card has
been inserted), and plug it back in. The Smarty should then show it is working
on the update, as shown in the update guide.
The Smarty will guide you through the rest! You should only need this if
the automatic update does not work.

Data Logging
You can record up to 6 parameters at the same time, and it will log the
PID's that are showing on one of the dashboards.
Keep in mind that the Smarty is going to record the parameters that are
shown on the screen at this time.
At the top of the screen there are some buttons we can press, such as the
PoD option that was covered earlier. In this case we are looking for the red dot
that signifies the record button:
It will continue recording until you press the button again, or the key is
turned off (and the Smarty shuts off).
At this point you will need to take the SD card and head to a windows
computer. We use Datplot as our graphing software: http://www.datplot.com/
You will need to download this application to view the results of your logging.
