Techstream/ECU customizations
 

Hey guys. I recently got a cheapo cable from China to change the settings of my ECU for the minor stuff like car arm beep, how long the dome light stays on, etc. It's pretty quick and easy to do. I'm thinking that I'll start bringing it to any meets, but if anyone wants to meet up (even not at meets) to get some changes then I'd be happy to help out. I'm only doing the main customizations as I don't know how nor do I want to mess with any advanced stuff. But yeah. Just putting this out there!

:party0030::party0030::party0030:

that is awesome of you to offer. Would be nice if you could provide a full list of the customizations that you can do with it.

^This, I'm more curious if anything

It's not that big of a deal haha. I can/am only willing to customize what they show inside the manual. Here are a few pages. This is from the BRZ, but most everything is the same thing anyway.

One thing they don't mention, but I can change is disabling the seat belt beep for either driver or passenger. Other than that that's about it. Nothing huge, but it's something since I've seen some threads of people saying that the dealer is charging for changing these things which seems stupid to me. I figure help out other peeps if I can! :thumbsup:

:w00t:

the only thing on there that I think I would want to do is make it so both doors unlock with one press of the unlock. So many times I go out to my garage without the key and find the pass side locked.

yeah i feel ya. well either way if you want to try to meet up or just remind me if i see you at a meet (whichever one it is) then that'll work. :P

Disabling the pass seat belt beep, will it still function properly when there's someone there? I hate I have to put that seatbelt on when I have backpack on it.

I doubt it. It goes off from your backpack because there is no way for the computer to know if it's a real person or not. So it's either on or off for that... Sorry man.

Our 30k cars isn't that smart =)

Err, I meant get rid of just the audible all together.

Yeah, it just disables the sound. I got mine turned off and it otherwise functions the same in terms of the pass airbag on/off light on the center console.

yeah. what finch said. I can turn that off if you like. :)

Sweet! Wouldn't mind having my lock/unlock beep disabled! :w00t:

I would like. I work in Santa Clara but I don't DD the car. At your convenience anytime on Sun - Tues in SC/SJ. Thx!

Techstream/ECU mod meet!

Sure thing. When and where?

I work in the Santa Clara area too. Right off of 880 and Brokaw. Maybe you can make it a DD just for a day? :P Otherwise weekends work best.

This might be a good idea. Maybe we can all head to a burger place or something and I'll bust out the tablet and get all the mods for people done real quick. :happyanim:

and we can buy you lunch

I'll drive it this wed or sunday. Anytime that works for you. Im at Bowers/Central.

Thanks @phanguy for all the new (or removed/improved) features on my car. And thanks for sharing your mods. Added to my to-do list. Thanks again!!

The BRZ driver showed up after you rolled away but they had their own agenda. So I just rolled away too.

no problem! glad i could help :)

You should come out to the Hayward Sonic get together we just put up. Id like my doors to all unlock with push. I'll even buy you a slush :happy0180:

Yeah if there's a meet I'd love to join!

My Iphone and wallet was on my seat and it was bleeping. I was like, WTF!

phones that are charging will set it off. there is a long thread about it messing with the sensor somehow in the Issues/ Warranty subforum.

Hmm, I don't remember if it was charging or not, I'll have to test that out. Thanks!

Thanks for taking care of that for me last night man. Sucks about the doors but the longer lockout will sure be nice

Great job phanuy

Soon i will also be offering ecutek flashes at meets

correct! the wires makes the alarm go off not the phone when

glad to be of help. sorry i couldn't do both doors unlock. i'm going to look into that now, but i don't think my cheapo chinese cable is going to let me do it. but if i do get it figured out then i'll let you know!

Do you have a link for what hardware and software are needed. I'd lije to get the stuff and help out all the local guys here too.

not the exact auction i used, but this is what i got. it'll include the software too. i've tried newer software, but i don't seem to have any extra functionality with the newer/latest software.

Thanks. Just bought it.

Yeah, I have to admit, the default lockout timer on the car is a bit short -- locked myself out a couple of times with this car already -- at least i know it's secure =)

@finch1750 @PMok hey guys it turns out i'm a fool. i can in fact make it so that you can unlock both doors with one press. :) next time we see each other i'll do this for you!

I'd like "IN" on that as well

you got it!

is this thread dead?! i would love to change a couple settings on my FRS if possible?! Please and thank you

Seeing that I posted today... No it's not dead. :P just name a time and place and we can see if we can work something out. Please bare in mind that if we are only meeting for me to do the change (and its not a car meet) then I may ask you to meet me a little closer to where I live/work than where you do. But other than that, fa sho. :)

Lets fold this into the next planned mini meet... Someone is going to leave stuffed from all the food donations, lol.. :D

Thanks for the reply! Sorry I was tired and didn't get a chance to check the dates lol whatever is easier for you I'm in no rush but I wouldn't mind coming all the way out to you, I'm in San Jose at least once a week
