There are lots of things you don't know (LOL). We actually have 2 'software engineers' (mappers) in the UK, based at our premises in Bromsgrove. Which means you can have your Volvo custom mapped if you wish / need any day of any week on our state of art Dynojet 224xLC Rolling Road. Regards, Hamish. P.S. We don't just map Volvo's....... |

MTE software upgrades; installation.
I would like to just cover again the method by which MTE software is installed in all Volvo and Ford vehicles.
With MTE, the ECU is never opened to facilitate the removal of the 'chip'. On all models, with just one exception, the software is installed by connecting the ECU, unopened, to the equipment. The one exception is with the old shape S and V40's where the installation is via the OBD socket. Regards, Don.Norchi. www.kalmar-union.com |

I have a RICA ECU re-map and with the difference in performance they might as well have put a 100 stickers under the bonnet because anyone who drove it would realise in XX yards that it is way beyond a stock T5 in performance stakes. It may be invisible but why would that be important?. |

And more importantly, having done a 3 year degree in electronic engineering at Kent, I would rather my ecu wasnt re-soldered. |

I don't think that a 3 year degree was necessary to know that soldering in close proximity to electronics can cause an excessive heat cycle degradation of the life cycle of electronics. I have heard of two chipping methods that solder piggy back chips or modules but was not aware that any of the three main contenders within this forum used such methods. |
