Downloader Tab
The downloader tab is used to obtain the correct calibration for the vehicle from Ford Performance. When
downloading the PC3 file will be personalized to your vehicle using the VIN and Procal Unit serial number.
When downloading a PC3 file, it will be stored in the “Documents/ProCal3/calibrations” folder on a Windows
computer or “home/ProCal3/calibrations” on Mac OSX based computers. The file will be named based on the
calibration, VIN and Procal unit serial number, eg. <calibration>_<VIN>_<SN>.pc3. This makes it easy to
identify which file belongs to a specific vehicle.
