U-Connect & Unichip Performance Technology | |
| | | | | · How the U-Connect Works | The U-Connect unit should not be mistaken for the non-specific and very generic, re-flash methods of tuning that most performance enthusiasts seem familiar with in which the OEM ECU (Original Equipment Manufacturer Electronic Control Unit) code is simply programmed over with a hand held programmer via the vehicle’s OBD (On Board Diagnostic) port. | With the U-Connect, since the unit is driven by the world renowned Unichip piggy back system, the changes occur only within this unit and are electrically communicated to your vehicle’s ECU (in layman’s terms, your engine computer box). | No changes are made within the standard engine ECU, and thus all the engine safety parameters as set by the manufacturer remain in place. | | | U-CONNECT FEATURES | | · | Plug n Play wiring harness with factory connectors. | | · | Multi-processor computer for a new level of engine management | | · | Adds power to stock & modified engines - up to 30% more power! | | · | Invisible installation, No footprint, easily removable | | Read more... | | | | So there is no tampering with these original safety parameters, including cold start and knock sensors, water and air temperature sensors, and oxygen sensors or the inadvertent and costly altering of these as sometimes can occur due to operator error. | Instead, the U-Connect simply intercepts the information to / and from the standard engine ECU and adjusts the signal to enable the engine to reach its full potential in terms of power, fuel consumption, and drivability within the already mentioned manufacture specified safety parameters. | Once the U-Connect is installed, it leaves no electronic “footprint”, and this also applies should you want to remove the unit, unlike when you program the standard ECU with a re-flash programmer, the ECU knows and records that it has been reprogrammed. | Even if you re-flash your standard ECU back to stock prior to service work, the ECU dutifully reports how many times it has been re-flashed whenever the dealer checks via their diagnostic equipment, and if it reports something different than what the dealer’s records reflect, your upgrade as well as your warranty could be immediately removed. | | | | · History of the Unichip | The Unichip was given life back in 1995 by Automotive Technician, Pieter de Weerdt, as a means by which a skilled tuner could work with and not against your car’s engine’s electronics in order to achieve a perfectly optimised car, albeit that you were looking only for the best fuel consumption, the ultimate in power or just an all round more drivable vehicle. | The product that you will find available today represents the 25th evolution of this technology and there are about 600 Unichip dealers across 57 countries currently using it as their as the preferred tuning solution. | World-class aftermarket automotive manufacturers like APS, Prodrive, Turbonetics, Vortech, Procharger, and Turbo Performance Center to name but a few have selected the U-Connect and Unichip as their engine control solution. | Where ever you find car guys looking to make more power and improve fuel consumption, you'll find the U-Connect and Unichip, the bottom line is that you maintain absolute control over what you want from your vehicle. | | | | | | | |
