Thread: TDV6 ECU upgrade options

Well got my remap box from Pete at Bell Autos ( great bloke )

after a nerve wracking upload ( minutes seemed like days )to the ECU the box performed flawlessly and delivered my extra 38 BHP. Nice.

Disco now is super responsive, overtakes beautifully.

Elastic band throttle is gone

Cheers Pete

This question has probably been answered elsewhere, however, will the re-map have to be re-loaded if Landrover do a software update etc????
Also, how much did the BAS remap cost all up?
Cheers, Craig

Only if they update the ECU. It is best to remove it if it goes toi the dealer inn case they do.

Pete recommends you put the original file back on the disco before any trips to the stealers.

It takes a couple of minutes to do. That way it prevents any problems with dealer updates

Best thing about BAS remap tool is, you own it, swap and change in minutes.

Cost was 519 GB pounds delivered to Australia via UPS.

Thats a forum discounted price. Usually 645 GBP

Hi CaverD3,
I'm interested in getting the Bluefin Superchip ECU remap that you have. The price and ease of installation seems OK.
Question: Is seems from the website that you connect the Bluefin hand contoller to a connector under the steering wheel, then do the upgrade by following the prompts on the device.
If this is the case, can the one unit be used for many vehicles, saving everyone who needs an upgrade from buying one.
i.e. Do you think it is feasible to hire the device for use by others with the same vehicle or is it a one-off per vehicle job?
Interested in your feedback, thanks,
Wyperfield

Bluefin like others have a system to stop you using it on multiple vehicles. You would otherwise be a dealer of their maps.
You plug it in the the vehicle, it reads the VIN/ECU no. from the ECU and the original map.
You then go on line and they give you a file containing the new map allowing you to download it to the ECU. It stores the old map so you can remove and replace it anytime.

so does that mean if your vehicle is written off and you go and buy another one, or for some reason your ecu is changed, the remap unit becomes useless?

It would but I am sure if you provided proof of write off they would re-load the map for you. They will do the same if dealer overwrites it.
