The KRAKEN Programmer is a professional-grade handheld device that connects to your golf cart's motor controller, allowing you to adjust speed settings, acceleration profiles, braking behavior, and diagnose fault codes. Think of it as a "tuning chip" or "performance programmer" for your golf cart.

What you can do with KRAKEN:

• Increase top speed (up to 25.5 MPH on compatible models)
• Customize acceleration and deceleration curves
• Enable or disable eco mode
• Silence annoying reverse buzzers
• Read and clear diagnostic fault codes
• Set lower "kid-safe" speeds for young drivers
• All changes are 100% reversible

Traditional speed upgrades require costly mechanical modifications like motor swaps, gear ratio changes, or controller replacements. KRAKEN takes a smarter approach by unlocking the performance already built into your cart's existing hardware.

KRAKEN Advantages:

• Non-invasive: No tools, no mechanical work, no permanent modifications
• Reversible: Return to factory settings anytime
• Cost-effective: $250-500 one-time cost vs. $1000+ for motor/controller upgrades
• Diagnostic capability: Reads fault codes like a dealer tool (saves $75-100 per diagnostic visit)
• Customizable: Fine-tune settings to your exact preferences
• Safe limits: Built-in protections prevent settings that could damage your cart

KRAKEN Programmer is legal to own and use on private property. However, usage regulations vary by location:

Always verify local regulations before operating a modified cart on public property. You're responsible for complying with applicable laws in your area.

KRAKEN Programmer currently supports the following models:

Selecting the correct KRAKEN model depends on your cart's brand, model, and year. Here's how to identify your cart:

Step 1: Identify Your Cart Brand & Model

• Check the manufacturer badge on your cart (usually on dash or body)
• Common brands: E-Z-GO, Club Car, Yamaha

• Memory: No memory of previous settings remains on cart

Connection issues are usually simple to fix. Follow these troubleshooting steps:

Step 1: Check Physical Connection

• Ensure cable is fully seated in cart's diagnostic port
• Verify cable is firmly connected to KRAKEN device
• Try unplugging and reconnecting both ends
• Check for bent pins or debris in connector

Step 2: Verify Cart Power

• Turn cart key to "ON" position (ignition)
• KRAKEN powers from the cart - cart must be on
• Check that cart's main battery switch is ON
• Ensure batteries are charged (low voltage can cause issues)

Step 3: Confirm Correct Cable

• E-Z-GO and Club Car use different cables
• Verify you're using the correct cable for your cart model
• Check cable for any damage or loose connections

Step 4: Check Compatibility

• Confirm your cart model/year is compatible with your KRAKEN version
• E-Z-GO RXV 2025+ requires different programmer than 2013-2024
• Club Car factory lithium models are NOT compatible

If you programmed a higher speed but don't feel any difference, try these solutions:

Most Common Cause: Didn't Press "Flash"

• When you change a setting, you MUST press "Flash" button to save
• Settings are NOT saved automatically
• After pressing Flash, wait for confirmation message
• Then disconnect and test drive

Check Your Test Environment:

• Battery charge: Low batteries = lower top speed regardless of programming
• Terrain: Uphill testing won't show true top speed
• Weight: Extra passengers/cargo reduces speed
• Test surface: Try on smooth, flat pavement for accurate results

Verify Programming Took Effect:

1. Reconnect KRAKEN to cart
2. Navigate to Forward Speed setting
3. Press button to VIEW current speed setting
4. Does it show the speed you programmed?
5. If not, reprogram and make sure to press Flash

Other Potential Issues:

• Tire pressure: Under-inflated tires reduce top speed
• Brake drag: Brake not fully releasing can limit speed
• Motor issues: Existing motor problems won't be fixed by programming

KRAKEN has built-in safety limits to prevent dangerous settings, but there are some important things to understand:

Best Practices:

• Start with moderate speed increases (18-20 MPH) and work up
• Monitor motor/controller temperature during initial high-speed runs
• Allow motor to cool between extended high-speed sessions
• Keep up with regular maintenance (brakes, tires, bearings)
• Don't expect stock parts to last as long at max performance
