Ecotec mail tune (vy)?

[Dr HaxZaw]

I've noticed you've got the mail order tunes for the VE's and I'm assuming the VY runs a similar system with its computer as you cant 'chip' it. I was wondering if you do a similar thing for the vy ecotecs or not?

We're getting somewhere, just slower then what we would like on this front

No worries at all... I figured it had to be more difficult than copy and paste off one of the vx chips lol

Problem with the VY ecotec it they're a flash chip which means MACE would have to do exchange ECUs ad then the customer would need to get that linked to their BCM. Would get expensive easily

ah ok. i dont really understand it but changing ECU's would be a bit of a nightmare

Not necessarily, you could mail your ECU in, but then you wouldn't have your car for a few days, but it would be cheaper and easier.

This would mostly likely be the way which it would be done, though we're looking at other options to make it easier for everyone

I really dont understand the what the difference is with the VY computer other than its a flash chip which i have no clue about

Is it a problem with the software needed to load the tune being expensive and hard to get or more a problem with being able to email the tune?

The problem with the slow take up/development of programming the VX-VY's V6 computers has been the fact that software for the engine parameters/chip are physically soldiered on the board. Emailing a tune for customer to flash in themselves is something that we're considering, but is a case of easier said then done!
