Also, if I am to consider moving away from the Powerchip software for the convenience of your cable device, would you supply me with two identical 140 based tunes, except for rear o2 state, so I could turn on or off my emissions ready mode for inspection?

Lastly, I suppose I'd have to send my Powerchip tune anyway since that is all I have..... No?

I am not going to go to the dealer for the upgrades until after I am comfortable with the new companies tune.

Thanks!
Hi,

there are two types of programme.

1) Full ECU
2) Data area only

To revert to 140E software we need to flash the entire ECU and this takes around 15 mins.
The data area is much smaller and this takes less than 1 min. The data area is the one that has all of the maps that we need to change.

The long part is ONLY when you read the entire ECU. That's done once and once only.

We can supply you two versions of software, that's not a problem at all.

If your questions are still not answered we can explain over the phone.
