Your customers can purchase Upgrade Licenses to transfer a dealer unlock to their personal account. More about Upgrade Licenses.


xHP POLICY & GUIDELINES


Are there xHP policies xHP tuners should respect?

It is xHP policy that customers can come to the workshop (= “flashpoint”) of the xHP dealer of their choice, to have their vehicle flashed on site in a workshop by a professional tuner. The tuner has all the equipment and expertise, so the customer does not have to flash the car by himself.

Dealers use their own devices to log into the xHP app and to flash their customer’s cars. These devices should be used on site in the workshop. Usually 5 devices are enough to be used by all employees of a single workshop.

In regards to these points, remote flashing is NOT xHP policy! We limited the number of devices to 5 to prevent possible fraudulent behaviour.

If you own more than one workshop, then it is possible to open separate xHP Pro accounts, in addition to the initial xHP Pro account. For each xHP Pro account with its own workshop you can use 5 devices to flash. Contact us at support@rbttuning.com if you have more than one flashpoint or have further questions.


Are there content guidelines for xHP tuners?

Yes, we have content guidelines to ensure a fair competition between dealers.

Dealers are allowed to use the xHP logo and content published across our social media channels (Facebook, Instagram), for their own purpose. But users have to be able to easily distinguish between your dealer page and xHP pages: So do not use the wording “xHP” in the company name, for domain names etc.

PRICING / BILLING / VAT ID


What is the price recommendation for end consumers?

Dealers buy Dealer License Packs in our webshop at significantly lower prices than end consumers. Also, dealers get maps all in one sweep when unlocking a vehicle.

End consumers have to buy xHP Flash Licenses and xHP Map Pack separately (unlike tuners).

The difference between end consumer price and dealer price is the margin earned by you.

Please do not use this margin to offer xHP to customers “for cheap”, but sell xHP at least at the same price as the price for end consumers.

We strongly encourage you to keep the market vital and play fair against other dealers. We are proud of our quality product and do not want to sell it at dumping prices. Selling by underrunning prices in your region will lead to a ruined market in the long run, as other dealers will also lower their prices accordingly.

Therefore we take reports about dumped prices seriously and will take action in case of serious underrunnings and/or multiple reports from other dealers or customers. Customers utilize your time, tools and infrastructure to get their car flashed, just like they do when bringing in parts for installation. Do a fair calculation with xHP License + labour + infrastructure + overhead costs before making an offer to a customer

How much is the price for dealers?

There are no running costs for dealers, you just pay for each flashed / unlocked car. Dealers can buy Dealer License Packs in our webshop at significantly lower prices than end consumers.

The difference between the end consumer price and your dealer price is the profit margin earned by you. The higher you set the enduser price, the higher your own profit.

To purchase Dealer License Packs, please use your xHP Pro Account's email to order in our Webshop. This ensures your licenses/credits will be added automatically to your Pro-Account within minutes after purchase. Your current credits are shown inside xHP (Sidebar Menu). xHP will switch to PayPal-Invoice mode, once your credits are used up.

As a dealer, you can buy licenses at significantly lower prices in comparison to the enduser.

Also, you do get a 15% discount when you purchase at least 4 Dealer License Packs at once (= 20 credits). Just use the voucher code “DEALER15” in our webhop.

Newly registered xHP Pro Dealers are required to purchase at least one Dealer License Pack, before their account gets unlocked. More about Dealer License Packs.

xHP Pro Dealer License Packs / Credits are non refundable and non transferable items!

How does the billing process work?

You can buy your initial Dealer License Pack via our webshop. On the end of the webshop page you see the different payment methods.

Once all credits have been used up, xHP will switch to PayPal-Invoice mode. In this mode xHP will generate a PayPal-Invoice 24H after each unlock. Those invoices will be delivered to your eMail-Inbox and are due within 7 days. You will get a reminder if the bill is not paid in time.

xHP Pro will lock itself, once invoices are overdue for more than 21 days.

As the invoices are forwarded to your mailbox, you don’t have to log into the xHP backend each time, but can conveniently pay through the PayPal interface or the PayPal app on your mobile device.

Make sure to settle open invoices in a timely manner, or pre-purchase credits to avoid having your account locked.

What do I do when my account is locked?

Which payment methods can I use?

You can see all our payment methods in our webshop (scroll to end of page).

Once you purchase the initial Dealer License Pack, and all your licenses are used up, xHP switches to PayPal invoice mode.

If you do not have a PayPal account or PayPal is not available in your country, you can also continue purchasing unlocks through our webshop.

More about the Billing process with the PayPal Invoice mode.


Do I need a VAT ID / UID number?

Dealers located inside the EU need to have a valid VAT ID / UID number (for taxation purposes), which we will check in your registration form. With the VAT ID you can get the VAT back from your revenue office.

In case your VAT ID changes, please contact us immediately at support@rbttuning.com and tell us your new ID so it is correct on your next bill.

Dealers inside the EU who have no valid VAT ID (or have not informed us about a new ID) will be billed 20% VAT extra. In this case please contact us to cancel your invoice and you can order again with the valid VAT ID.


DEALER BACKEND & APP


How does the xHP dealer backend work?

After you log into your xHP account (via the app or desktop), you will be greeted by the xHP Pro Dashboard.

More details on the dealer backend and its functionalities.



How does the xHP Dealer App work?

Dealers use the tuner-access to the app: Once your account has been unlocked by us, go to https://pro.xhpflashtool.com/pro/app/login to log into the app. You can log manually within xHP, or use the social logins (Facebook, Google, Apple).

On the top left you have access to the side bar menu, which lets you access those functions:

See here more details on how to use the xHP app.

See here our quickstart guide to start flashing OTS and custom maps with xHP.


What is a Flashpoint and how does it work?

Every registered tuner has their own “Flashpoint”. This is the address of the workshop which is shown on the dealer map on the xHP website.

Flashpoints are key to getting customers to your site. Over 30.000 people visit our website every month. When they look for a workshop nearby, they enter their address and the nearest flashpoints are shown on the dealer map. That way, customers know, they can visit you to get an xHP tune.

If you have more than one workshop, please contact us at support@rbttuning.com with your subsidiary-address, and we create another flashpoint for you. Be sure to provide all the details (company name, phone, address, city, country etc.)

Please do also contact us, if you don’t want your address to be shown on the dealer map.

You find your active flashpoints in the xHP Pro dealer backend.


Can I share my account with another tuner or end consumer?

No, account sharing is strictly forbidden and will lead to immediate termination of your account. Only one account per dealer is allowed.

The xHP Pro Login enables you to unlock cars at a reduced rate, and all unlocks are tied to your company account.

However, your customers can purchase a discounted Upgrade-License (including License and Map-Pack) in our webshop, to transfer a dealer unlock to their personal account. More about upgrade licenses for end consumers.


QUICKSTART GUIDE TO FLASHING - FIRST STEPS


Which hardware do I need for flashing?

Check out our connect diagram to see which hardware to use for iOS and Android and how to connect to your customers car.

For more details on Supported Flashing Hardware check out our end customer WIKI.


How do I connect to my customers car?

Please look here in our Knowledge Base for end consumers to see how to connect to your customers car, how to prepare your device and vehicle, and which hardware to use.


How do I unlock vehicles for my customers?

For any flash operation you need to get an initial Dealer License Pack in our shop and, if this is used up, either buy more license packs, or flash separate vehicles and pay via PayPal invoices for each one 24 hrs after the vehicle has been unlocked. More on licenses. More on the billing process.

Make sure to obey the rules from How to connect to your car before starting a flash!

It is very important to use the recommended hardware for carrying out a flash-operation. Please check the Connect Diagram if you are not sure or the relevant section in the Wiki.

Dealer Unlocks do NOT allow the enduser to use the xHP Flashtool app with their car. For this the enduser needs an additional “Upgrade license” or flash the car himself with a regular enduser license.

LICENSING


Licenses: Do I need them, how do I get them, how do I use them?

Yes, you need licenses to flash cars. One Dealer License Pack includes 5 credits, which means you can flash 5 cars for your customers.

The Dealer License Pack includes 5 licenses and map packs. Which means, unlike an end consumer, you do NOT have to purchase xHP Flash License and Map Pack separately.

As a dealer, you can buy licenses at significantly lower prices in comparison to the enduser.

Also, you get a 15% discount for purchasing at least 4 Dealer License Packs at once (= 20 credits). Just use the voucher code “DEALER15” in our webhop.

The difference between the end consumer price and your dealer price is the profit margin earned by you. The higher you set the enduser price, the higher your own profit.

When your dealer account is first activated, you need to purchase a Dealer License Pack via our website to start flashing cars. Dealer License packs are purchased separately for 6-, 8- and 7- speed cars.

Please use your xHP Pro Account's email address to order in our Webshop. This ensures that your licenses/credits are added automatically to your Pro-Account within minutes after purchase. Your current credits are shown inside xHP (Sidebar Menu). xHP will switch to PayPal-Invoice mode, once your credits are used up.

With the Dealer License Pack you get both the flash license and the map pack in one sweep (= “vehicle unlock”, either for 6-, 8-, or 7-speed cars), whereas the enduser has to buy those separately.

xHP Pro Dealer License Packs / Credits are non refundable and non transferable items!

As long as you have unused licenses, your account will NOT BE LOCKED and your FLASHPOINT NOT HIDDEN due to inactivity! More about locked accounts.

Can I test xHP before buying anything?

The download of the xHP app is free. You can connect your car, read fault codes from your TCU and read your transmissions adaption values.

For any flash operation you need to get an initial Dealer License Pack in our shop and, if this is used up, either buy more Dealer License Packs, or flash separate vehicles and pay via PayPal invoices for each one 24 hrs after the vehicle has been unlocked.

Can my customers also use xHP after they had their cars flashed?

If end users want to flash their own car after they had it flashed by a dealer, the car can be transfered to an end user account by using the xHP Upgrade License.

As the end user creates a new account, already existing custom settings are not carried over from the dealer’s account! Tell your customer about custom settings, should any have been made.


Is there a trial period for my customers?

There is a 24-hour trial period available only for selected dealers.

If you have been a xHP Pro dealer for some time, have flashed many cars and have no record of overdue bills, then you might also apply for a trial period via support@rbttuning.com .

Benefits of the trial period:

How to cancel the vehicle unlock:

Trial period is only available for selected dealers!

The 24h trial period will start running immediately after the unlock, and NOT after the flash! If you unlocked a car, which is to be flashed some time later, then please cancel it immediately again.

xHP Pro vehicle unlocks are not transferable between dealers.


TROUBLESHOOTING (ACCOUNT, DEALER MAP …)

My account is locked, why? What can I do?

If your account is locked, you cannot access the dealer backend or the app any more with your dealer email address and password and therefore cannot flash any new cars. You can still access existing vehicles, but are not able to carry out further unlocks.

If your account has been locked or might get locked in the near future, you get an email with further information, which also includes the reason for the possible closure. You can always contact us at support@rbttuning.com if you think, a mistake has been made and to ask about the reason for the lock.

Your account might be locked due to one of these reasons:

Unlocking your account:

Please contact us at support@rbttuning.com if you think locking your account has been a mistake or you have a reason why you could flash less cars than usual in the past months.


My workshop is hidden on the dealer map, why? What can I do?

Why is it hidden?

Un-hide your account / make account visible again

Please contact us at support@rbttuning.com if you think hiding your flashpoint has been a mistake or you have a reason why you could flash less cars than usual in the past months.
