“Remapping” is a software change within your vehicle’s ECU (Electronic Control Unit). We modify the operating parameters within the code (or ‘map’) to increase the vehicle’s performance and/or economy, without the need to change or add any hardware.
In many cases the map stored within the ECU can be accessed via the onboard diagnostics port (OBD) which is usually situated inside the vehicle near the driver. In some newer models the ECU does need to be removed from the vehicle by our highly skilled technicians and the process carried out on a bench.
Once your original data has been read from the ECU our technician will upload it to our file writing team who will adjust the original calibration to maximise the vehicle’s performance, fuel economy, or a clever blend of both. Depending on the vehicle and ECU type the process normally takes a couple of hours.
